I love using Proton Drive, especially the folder sharing feature. However, shared folders are confined to the "Shared with me" directory and cannot be reorganized into my personal folder structure or linked via shortcuts.

This limitation disrupts my file organization and workflow. To improve flexibility and user experience, I suggest enabling users to:

1. Move shared folders into their own directory structure.
2. Create shortcuts to shared folders within personal folders.

Implementing this feature would greatly enhance Proton Drive's usability, making file management more efficient. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

In the absence of a Linux app for Proton Drive it would really good to be able sync/backup network drive shared from a Linux computer on a Windows desktop where PD is installed.

Very needed

Hi Proton team,

As a Duo subscriber using Proton Drive with my partner, we love the privacy and simplicity — but working collaboratively is limited by how shared folders are handled.

Right now:

Shared folders appear only under “Shared with me”, not “My files”.

This means they can’t be synced to the desktop app (using MacOS), making shared work impossible from our computers.

Even in the web app, we’re constantly switching between My files and Shared with me, when it shouldn't matter who originally created the folder.

We’d love to be able to:

- Sync shared folders locally, just like regular ones.

- Move shared folders under My files (or integrate both views).

- Use filters or tags (e.g., “Shared”, “Owned”) if needed — but all under a unified “Files” view.

This would make Proton Drive much more practical for families, partners, and small teams who rely on collaboration.

Thanks for considering it!

sorry, but I even wonder how it's possible to provide sharing functionalities without the possibility to sync shared folders/files locally.. huh?

(btw. it took me ages to find this out — on this very page and not on the help pages of proton drive... hum hum... please)

My organization needs this!! So strange this isn't a higher priority feature for proton since it's essential for collaboration within an organization. I'm glad there are a growing number of people asking for the feature here since that's how we'll get proton's attention.

Here too - absolute requirement since this is the default way any small / medium enterprise will set up its file sharing backbone. Without Shared Folder Sync, Proton Drive is crippled for use at the majority of companies.

Critical for businesses, teams, and families.

This is just a foundational feature for any cloud-based storage service. Its absence is a critical flaw in usability. Please fix ASAP or I'll have to cancel my Proton Family subscription until it is fixed.

We need Shared Folders urgently!!

Shared folders are an absolute must have!

This is an essential feature for a business drive

The lack the ability to sync shared folders makes this product pretty much useless for team use. I cannot believe this giant hole in the product exists. Super urgent need.

Not having this is a complete deal breaker. I need to be able to see shared files and folders on Mac. Web interface is not an option. Will cancel my subscription because of it.

Absolutely this, having the ability to break down the space we have and share it better with our team would be huge!

This!

Is there any news on this? Very needed feature.

Yes please also for windows

Need need need
