the only reason i haven't switched fully yet!

Ente does well.

I can't believe this isn't possible. i'd consider it a basic requirement of any photo storage app.

I would expect this to be a feature of Proton Family. One shared family album, and provide the option to choose where to sync your camera's photos to by default, either the current personal album, or the shared family album. Bonus would be if I could select family members to share the family photos with, so share with my wife, but not with the kids.

Yes please! Either create a better photos integration (as described in the idea), or a separate Proton Photos app. Highly appreciated if you can make this happen!

Yes, I am testdriving Proton Drive at 200Gb. Would be great if both my phones could upload photo's (and retain their album structure as well) . In that way keeping photo's from both phones apart. (like the other Drive files on both of my laptops)

This would be sooo great.

It would go together great with: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50415627-allow-proton-business-admins-to-jointly-manage-f

Your suggestion is for family use, the linked one is for business use. But both elevate a direct-share possibility.

Yes this, and WITH the ability for a slideshow! So you can share albums with family, and they can pop it up on a big screen TV or their desktop or something and run a slideshow for everyone to see.

To share a link to a folder for anyone to view is also critical for me!!

Same as other comments. I need this feature to share photos with my family and friends, Proton or non-Proton users

Same as others below - being able to share a link to a folder for anyone to view is critical for me. Currently the way I share photos is selecting a bunch of photos and sharing via iCloud link. I don’t use social media so this is my only way.

Having the ability to share photo albums with a link to non Proton users is a must for a complete transition from Google Photos. This is very important to me.

This is very important to me

We want to ditch Google but this missing feature is preventing us!

Specifically the feature, when enabled, is that all photos are shared between family members of an account, allowing family members to immediately see new photos as they are backed up.

How can it be thinkable that such a basic function for a photo library is not included by default?? The first reason for creating a photo library is to share it.

This is critical for my family moving onto the platform

I think it's a shame that you can't view images recorded from your smartphone on the computer app via Proton Drive, even though you can view them on the mobile app or web app.

iOS has a feature called Shared Photo Library. When enabled in the camera view, all photos taken are automatically added to a shared cloud album accessible to family members.

It would be incredibly useful if Proton Drive Photos could sync with this iOS Shared Photo Library. Specifically, if all shared library images could be automatically directed to a chosen shared album in Proton Drive. This would eliminate the need to manually select and add images to a shared family album afterwards.

My partner and I want to share and easily view all our photos together. Currently, Proton allows sharing albums between Proton accounts, but photos from shared albums don’t appear in the main timeline, i.e. the “Photos” tab.

This means Proton doesn’t fully meet our needs when using two separate accounts. At the moment, we have to share a single account for the Drive part to work as we want.

I’m not concerned about how this feature would be implemented, whether through a global setting, an option per shared album, or a Proton Duo plan feature.

Previously, on my self-hosted Nextcloud, we had this functionality, and it’s one of the features I regret losing after moving to Proton.

Great idea. My wife and I often share pictures and back up to our individual proton accounts, duplicating a lot of photos.

Another very nice feature would be to share albums with non-proton users via a link just like you can currently share individual photos/videos.
