  1. Allow user to manually clear sync errors

    It would be great if there was a way to manually clear sync errors in Proton Drive on OSX. Like if I don't need/want Proton Drive to automatically retry a sync, say, if I've removed the file.

  2. Photos Backup Sort by size, cleanup features

    I like that Photos backup is a completely separate tab, and that it allows me to substitute my iCloud+ plan. However I would like to have some cleanup features, like sorting by size, duplicates, or anything that doesn't need processing that breaks the privacy.

  3. Adjust usage warnings for large accounts

    • using 2GB of a 5GB drive account has no warnings & the indicator bottom-left is ok/green
    • using 600GB of a 700GB drive account shows a big banner at the top of proton that keeps re-appearing & the usage indicator bottom-left for web mail+drive shows red.

    Suggested fix: adjust the warnings usage percentages to be smaller when the total size of the account is larger.

  5. Better Viewing Experience when Sharing Photos

    Currently, if you share a public link with photos, you only see a tiny thumbnail. Combining that with how files are selected, it makes for a confusing experience when trying to preview the photo in the browser. My suggestion is to automatically (or optionally) displays folders with photos as thumbnails instead of as a list.

  6. Proton Calendar for iOS allowing calendar share calendars with others

    I am interested in Proton Calendar for iOS allowing calendar sharing so that others can share the calendar without needing to do it through the web. I have two family members with my calendars shared, and from the iOS app, they cannot share on my calendars. They have to do it through the web.
    Thanks

  7. UltraHDR support

    Lack of support for UltraHDR ist the only thing holding me back from switching away from Google Photos app as a gallery+backup solution. Would be nice to view UltraHDR photos in the Proton Drive App

  8. Android App - Set or change default opening tab/page (Photos or Files)

    I don't use 'Photos' and don't like that the app loads this by default.

    • An option to select the default page would be good. 'Photos' would be good if you predominantly use the app to sync photos to the cloud, whereas 'Files' is better if you don't use photos.

    • Alternatively, have the app remember which tab you were in last and load the same tab next opening.

    • Alternative 2: Don't default to 'Photos' when the backup is disabled, give us the option once then default to 'Files' unless we enable it.

  10. Photos

    Collecting multiple requests in one place… Dropbox got this right - I suggest simply imitating them in this feature.

    1) Make Photos a subfolder in MyFiles on Drive - do not hideit — treat like any other folder with files. Let user select precise location in folder tree. Possibly use /CameraUploads similar to Dropbox instead of /Photos.
    2) When uploading photos to Drive>MyFiles…/CameraUploads rename files like Dropbox camera uploads with image acquisition timestamp.
    3) provide options for upload location: a shared folder for families, a dedicated folder for a specific device/user etc.

    Thanks and please keep up the good work.…

  11. Improved MacOS application interface

    Currently you can see the status icon of proton drive as a whole in the menu bar for MacOS.

    it would be great if the app had a similar experience to Windows in that you can see the sync activity/history for files being synced to the drive.

  12. Allow for taking a snapshot

    I am nervous that a file I need could be deleted from ProtonDrive and I may not realize it for months or years. Or I am afraid that files could become corrupted. It would be nice if ProtonDrive could implement some type of snapshot feature that would allow me to manually (and periodically) create a snapshot of my files and allow me to open and recover folders/files from a historical point in time.

    Periodic options might be to retain snapshots for each of the last [3] days plus each of the last [4] Sunday 23:59, each of the last [3]…

  13. Proton Docs real download from proton drive client

    Proton doc files are not actually downloaded to disk with the Proton Drive Desktop client. They are 0 bytes in size. As a result, our files are only on the Proton servers, which is a real problem. Having the Proton Doc files physically on our hard disk with the Proton Drive client is absolutely necessary to manage our data. Since Proton Doc seems to be a proprietary format, being able to choose the format of the files when they are synchronized would be a plus.

  14. When Including "/" in a file name, causes sync errors on Mac OS

    So, on the web-app version of Proton Drive, including "/" in a file-name is allowed. However, when syncing that file using the Mac OS client, it will always result in a sync error, as it interprets it as a new directory. "The file foobar.zip doesn't exist"

  15. Add ability to open local folder easily from the Drive desktop app

    Right now, the only way to access this from the desktop app is to go to the Settings and click on the folder destination, which is fine, but I should also be able to have a way to access the "my files" folder. Currently it goes to the user folder which is one layer up.

  17. Let the (iOS) Photos app only upload the edited image to Proton Drive

    The Proton Drive Photos app currently uploads both edited and unedited images en films from the iPhone film roll. In some cases resulting in many duplicates eating up drive space. Please let the Photos app pick only the edited versions by default, like the iOS film roll.

  20. Show phones as computers. Many folks have multiple phones and they're really just computers.

    Show phones as computers. Many folks have multiple phones and they're really just computers. I like being able to see what is where, and perhaps, being able to have sync groups so desktops can stay in sync separately from phones, etc.
