Make photos searchable in Photos Section
Some recommended sorting axes:
Date (by year, by month, by day)
File Extension
File Name (not as helpful as the previous 2)
Other EXIF data (not necessary but would be nifty!)
Location
Camera Type
I've recently moved all my photos from OneDrive over to ProtonDrive using the Photos section. I have thousands of photos since 2010 and it would be extremely helpful to be able to sort through my photos in some way. Even just a bar on the side of the photos when scrolling, so you can skip to a certain year or month. But ideally a search bar where I can type "2022" or "March" and get all photos taken in "2022" or in the month of "March" in any year.

I would love to see a date-based scrollbar in Proton Drive on all platforms, both mobile and desktop. This scrollbar could display days, months, and years, making it much easier to quickly locate photos by date.
Currently, there is no scrollbar, which means users have to endlessly swipe or scroll to find older images. Adding this simple feature would significantly improve the usability of Proton Drive, especially for photo management. While Proton Drive still has a lot of room for growth, this would be a strong step forward in enhancing the overall user experience.

The fact that this is my own suggestion HAS NOTHING TO DO with the fact I love it! It is great! So special!

I just imported my 20 year archive of photo's into proton Photos.
Currently there is no real way to navigate this collection except by spending the day scrolling.
I personally really like the google photos 'scroll by year' feature. It works for me. -

At the moment it is super difficult to access old photos in proton drive. Sometimes you have to scroll down for several minutes. A timeline at the side where you can quickly scroll to a rough date (like in google photos) would help immensely.
