Do you think this would already be a good new beginning? Since the ProtonMail and Proton Calendar apps are being recreated, Proton Drive should probably be next.

Proton Drive:

Obviously it should be a File Manager solely for data backup and restore, an advanced service.

Download and upload folders, automatically with synchronization or manually.

Have the various one-way synchronization options available, which are essential for backing up or restoring folders.

Be an advanced File Manager, both offline and online.

Manage and monitor the "special folders" of other services that are in Drive.

Proton Photos:

A Gallery-based application, designed for the management and consumption of media, which are stored on the Proton Drive.

Have 2 options, one to choose to download the media in a compressed quality and the other in the original quality, a solution to avoid excessive storage consumption. And when you are connected to the internet, temporarily download the media in original quality.

Automatic upload of media, but keeping the original structure of the folder.

Option to create more than one "General Gallery", to separate media/albums from work and family media, in case you wanted to access media in public and don't want to expose your professional life to other people. Basically don't display certain albums in a "General Gallery", and display and another.

Choose whether offline media in original or compressed quality can be displayed in other apps or continue only in Proton Photos.

Choose whether to download the media, or just consume it online via the internet.

Advanced editing options, with the option to upload a new edited version of the file or as a new file to Drive.

Proton Cloud:

A service that basically serves to organize the current and future services of the Proton ecosystem, as all services use the Cloud, there will have to be a way to organize all of them, and it can be integrated into an operating system with IOS with Apple's opening up to the new EU laws against monopoly, thus replacing iCloud, it can also be done on Android or a Custom Rom.

Integration with a device's operating system, thus managing all device backups.

Subscription management.

Monitoring and Management of Proton services.

Proton Docs:

Docs has recently been created on the web, it has not yet reached the app stores.

Rely on other services or maintain identity?

I know that some will mention Google Photos, Ente Photos or iCloud, but the proposal of each of them is totally different from Proton's proposal.

Ente Photos is basically an online vault that automatically uploads random media, its proposal is to consume media only online.

Google Photos is literally the Google Drive that displays only media, the popularity is due to the company's name, promotion by hired digital influencers and advertising, and especially the lack of competition in the Android market.

iCloud uses two-way sync, which is not designed for backup, so the chances of losing all your media are high. And it's also limited to Apple devices only.

So after analyzing their proposal, it makes no sense to want to take away the identity of Proton in integration with the operating system, even more so now with the opening of IOS to developers, which will facilitate the addition of advanced and integrated functions to the system, probably the same will happen with Android and other operating systems.

Not to mention that with the future possibility of escaping the 30% mandatory fees of the app stores, the demand for other Galleries will skyrocket in the market, since the prices of iCloud and Google Photos do not stop increasing, and they will not decrease the 30%. And the number of people looking for privacy has been Increasing dramatically lately.
