Photos bidirectional sync
It's great that one's photos can be "backed up". But, photos needs to have bidirectional syncing. An example: if one deletes a photo on one's phone, it should be deleted in Proton Drive/Photos. I applaud all of the wonderful improvements in Proton Drive/Photos, but to be fully functional this feature is needed. Of course, none of the features are available to Linux users as there is NO PROTON DRIVE CLIENT available for Linux.

Very important feature to have, my gallery in drive is just a mess at the moment.

I believe there is a way to keep everyone happy by providing this feature as an optional configurable setting.
This feature is valid for some specific cases, but not for all. After all, no one deserves to delete something on their smartphone, believing it is backed up, only to suffer the side effect of losing it forever.
The user needs to know what will happen when they take an action; this is a requirement for any software or service. Therefore, keeping something like this optional, configurable, and disabled by default should satisfy everyone.

I don't have a 3Tb of space on my phone. I use it as a backup. But as an option why not

So i think having bidirectional sync for photos is not a good move
I like the idea a lot - of having an app that functions like google photos with the viewable - and something that indicates whether it is stored in the cloud or not
I also like the idea of a bidirectional optional folder or something for files
but i don't want photos to sync back to my phone from my pc

If it's possible this would have to be an option as it defeats the point of it being a backup. Otherwise if not an option off by default, this should not be implemented.

Only as an option that’s off by default, but I do want it for one device.

Make sure this is only an option. I delete years of photos from my phone at a time to free up space because I know it’s backed up. It will hurt if they disappear from my backup as well.

i also agree that this should be added as an option. i really hate the fact that i can keep my local gallery as clean as i want but drive is just super cluttered.
when implementing this feature i would also add another folder which is the diffs between drive and the local device so that people can more easily delete locally deleted files from the cloud retroactively

Fully agree with need for real sync between phone and Proton Drive

This should be an option, not hardcoded. It is a backup after all.
I take a lot of photos and delete 80% of them. But they have already been uploaded to Proton Drive, cluttering my space.
