Add Shared Folders to Proton Drive Sync
My wife and I fully utilize the Proton sharing features across the platform. We share files in Proton Drive, but the biggest gap for us is not being able to sync shared folders/files (using Proton Drive Sync for MacOS). The only way we can access the files that have been shared is through the Proton Drive web application.
Why is it so important that we be able to sync using MacOS?
Because we heavily utilize the MacOS Spotlight feature to find specific files that contain specific search terms in the body of the document. For reasons we understand, this feature cannot be made available in Proton Drive (the web application or mobile applications). However, we use MacOS Spotlight to deliver what Proton Drive cannot. As such, it is imperative that we be able to sync shared folders to MacOS,

It is a critical feature. We cannot collaborate with a shared folder without using the web interface on MacOS. It would be way faster to see and interact with the shared folders directly into the finder as any other drive folder self owned.

I too am trying to use this feature to actually collaborate and not send one-way files. Without sync it is impossible to collaborate on a spreadsheet with others.

We need this too, for Mac AND Windows.
In my family, we currently use dropbox to share files and sync them to all our computers. I want to swith to proton, but this missing feature is currently a deal-breaker.
I also need this feature for work, where it also prevents me from migrating completely away from dropbox.
