Why are you guys focused on AI, VPNs, password managers and competing with Google Docs when you are missing basic features in your core products like the ability to have a unified inbox and syncing multiple drive accounts to one compute. It seems like you have lost your focus and core mission.

This feature is already available for the Proton iOS apps and according to https://proton.me/support/shared-with-me-windows it also is available for Windows. I suspect a healthy portion of your user base are Mac OS X users, and based on the comments in this thread there are a few who would like to further adopt Proton Drive but this is a blocking issue as it is with me. Getting the basics consistent across OS platforms is more important than additional features such as AI or trying to recreate Google Docs. Many of us are here because of Proton's mission, but we need the product to work consistently wherever we use it.

We use the sharing features in our family to securely store files, for instance health information on our kids. However, it's barely usable for our use case:
- from iOS, the "Files" app integration allows us to send files to Proton Drive, but the "Shared with me folder is not available there. So, the folder creator can add files this way, not the one who received it as a share
- from the web interface, we did not find a way to copy files from our "private" files to a "shared with me" folder. So, after I copied files to my private folder from iOS, I had to download them to my computer, unzip, then upload to the "Shared with me" folder. Far from user-friendly !

The "Shared with me" folder does not seem to be well integrated in the Proton Drive workflow.

I recently switched to Proton 'Duo' and found that it is not really 'duo' at all. There is no shared email function (voted and commented on elsewhere) and now I discover that there is no true shared document/folder feature with Proton Drive either.

As the owner of a folder, I can access it through Finder (macOS), make it available offline. My partner, who I shared the folder with, has no such access. As others have said, this seems to be a basic requirement, the lack of which would have changed my decision to pay for Proton Duo had I known about it.

I’d like to suggest adding a true two-way folder sync feature to Proton Drive. Ideally, I could select existing folders such as Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos, and have them kept identical across all my devices. This is how I currently use MegaSync, and it allows my laptop and desktop to always have the same files in these folders without having to reorganize them into special Proton Drive directories. Furthermore, I can filter the files that are synced with my phone with the third-party app MegaSync, so I can have only *.pdf files on my phone.

Would be nice to at least have a due date for this important feature. I don't more software, I just need the existing to be "complete".

I bought proton-duo for sharing photo's with my wife. The idea was that we both upload photo's to our drive and both my wife and i see each-others photo's and we are both in sync. But preferably one drive where we both can upload and download photo's towards with our own accounts.

It is incomprehensible why the “share with me” function only exists in Windows drive desktop app. In my opinion, this is a core function.

Wish I was aware of this limitation prior to my paid Duo subscription.
The ability to sync shared files on macOS is absolutely critical to collaboration

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!!
