Set External Drive as main location
My mac is the lowest spec but because of the speed of M processors it runs all my software for work better than any PC i've ever had. The cost of having a massive storage space inside my Mac is the reason I cannot use Proton Drive at the moment. I have 1TB external SSD which is my Dropbox location, if I could set Proton Drive to my external SSD as the main folder my life would instantly be better. I actually love how Proton Drive functions and am desperate to get out of the chaotic Dropbox ecosystem. Please explore an option to do this with Drive. It's extremely important that a large amount of files are locally accessible but also backed up on the fly for my work. I trust Proton more than any other service out there. Keep up the good work :]

Bump.
MacOS is great!
Apple's price for storage is laughable!If you want people to migrate from Google, and if we are here, we want to as well, the ability to sync a folder on a removable disk is critical. Google drive allows it. Please do so as well.

MAC drive is very expensive and limited.
I am using USB drive and Tresorit at the moment.
Waiting and others would also join Proton if it would work. -

I'd like to see this as part of a wider feature where I can choose any folder in Finder as the main location for ProtonDrive.
e.g. I could set my "Macintosh HD/Users/username" folder as ProtonDrive's main folder

I agree with this 100%. I would like to have my entire Proton Drive on an external drive. This keeps my fast storage on my Mac available for other things, but also allows me to have a full copy of my Proton Drive locally so I can back it up with TimeMachine.

This 100%. I used both Dropbox and Drive on external storage and while I don't mind having cloud only storage on some of my devices, for redundancy purposes, having one location that can hold all files offline just makes sense.
