Hello Proton Drive team,

Please consider making Cloud-only mode the default behavior for the Windows app, similar to the Android app.

Files should remain only in the cloud by default and should only be downloaded when the user chooses to open or download them. Users who prefer local syncing could enable it in Settings.

This would save disk space, improve privacy, reduce unnecessary local file copies, and provide a cleaner, more consistent experience across devices.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.
