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.
