Requesting native support for redirecting macOS user profile folders, such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and other standard home folders, into Proton Drive. Similar to how iCloud Drive and OneDrive offer “Desktop & Documents” integration.

Use case / problem:
Today, Proton Drive works well as a secure storage location, but it does not integrate deeply with the macOS file system. This means files saved to common locations like Desktop or Documents do not automatically sync to Proton Drive unless users manually move them. For many users (families and small businesses especially), this creates friction and increases the risk that important files are never backed up or encrypted.

Proposed behavior:

Allow users to optionally enable profile folder redirection during Proton Drive setup or in settings.

When enabled, macOS folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.) would transparently sync to Proton Drive.

From the user’s perspective, saving a file to Desktop or Documents would automatically sync and be end-to-end encrypted in Proton Drive.

This could mirror existing patterns used by iCloud Drive and OneDrive, while maintaining Proton’s encryption model.
