File management paradigm change?
As a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest techologies since 40 years
I'd like ProtonDrive to consider:
- merging all types of documents (office, audio, video, etc) into a single environment (as opposed to the Documents/Photos distiction)
- allow the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS
- providing labels/tags/keywords management (add, remove, batch rename)
- integrate these labels/tags/keywords within the files metadata without changing their modification date (as opposed to libraries systems strongly linked to products and service providers)
- providing views management (add, remove, rename) based on the aforementioned labels/tags/keywords
- providing a funtionality to generate a folder structure based on views
So that:
- Merging: one environment simplifies and generalizes the file management development and usage
- Labels, views: it doesn't matter anymore where I store files, but how I can find them easliy (consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy)
- Optionally expose files: for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps
- Integrate labels, generate folder structure: portability is ensured for the day I decide to move my files to another platform (export folder structure with my personal categorization system without risk of loosing years of organization)
- Modification date: obviously the file management should't tamper with the effective file content change date
Thank you for considering shaping a futuristic UX with an open and portable file system management post-GAFAM and service provider independent! š
