Allow Proton Photos to index photos stored in Drive folders
Problem: I currently manage my large photo archive in folders, grouped per year, so I am not depending on one photo library (like Apple Photo's).
Wish: Let Proton Dive index photo's from such folders, so users can use both the folder structure as well as the Photo gallery. Allow users to mark one or more Drive folders as "Photo folders". Proton Photos should automatically index the supported media files inside those folders while preserving the original folder structure.
Currently, it looks like photo's uploaded in folders to Drive, are considered as 'files' and not indexed as 'photo's'.
Result: More flexibility for users who are migrating from Apple Photo's or Google Photo's. Many users wish to store photo's privacy secured, but with a similar advanced photo gallery like Apple of Google.
This would attract more (new) users moving their photo's to Proton with subsequent more (paid) users for Proton.
It is currently my main road block from fully use Proton.

I couldn't agree more. In the era of digital pictures we all end up with thousands of pictures. Why have them in a single ginormous camera roll on Proton Photos?! Yes, we can use albums, but it's just a tagging system. I keep my photos organized in folders both on my phone and SSD and for coherence reasons I have to upload them to Proton Drive and not Proton Photos. Please find a solution!
