[Proton Drive – Photos Web] Do not redirect user to album after adding photo(s)
Current Behavior:
When adding one or more photos to an album via the Proton Drive Photos web interface, the user is automatically redirected to the destination album.
Expected Behavior:
The user should remain in the Photos view after adding photo(s) to an album, consistent with the behavior already implemented in the mobile apps (at least iOS, I didn't check the Android on).
Problem Statement:
This redirect creates significant friction when organizing photos spread across a long time period. For each add action, the user is forced to:
- Get redirected to the album
- Click "Back"
- Navigate back to the "Photos" view
- Scroll back to their previous position — which can be particularly tedious with large libraries, even with the month selector sidebar.
This turns a bulk organization task into a highly repetitive and time-consuming process.
Proposed Solution:
Remove the automatic redirect on the web interface, keeping the user in the Photos view at their current scroll position after adding photo(s) to an album. Optionally, display a brief confirmation toast notification (e.g. "Added to [Album Name]") as feedback.
Low effort, high UX impact, and the expected behavior already exists on mobile.
