How can we improve Proton Drive?

← Proton Drive

Easy-to-share links for shared folders and files (URL shortener)

It would be great to have an optional feature that generates short, easy-to-share links for shared folders and files. For example: pm.me/share/<share_id>. This would make sharing simpler across emails, chats, and mobile devices, while still keeping the full URL available for those who prefer it.

    Within Proton Drive, you're presently able to create a shared Public Link to documents and folders which is for the most part reasonably "shortened" as-is. Additionally, you're able to set a password and expiration date for the link which is a great feature!

    For context, here is a SAMPLE (i.e., non-working) URL generated by the current system in place: hxxps://drive.proton.me/urls/25r0PvM2wW#WzJu0ntg3cxW

    To me, this is shortened enough for pretty much most practical purposes I can think of.

    Per-user vanity links might be a desirable feature for some, which I think you might possibly be alluding to.
