  1. Allow modifying Version History Per File

    I'm on MacOS using ProtonDrive - because I cannot sync/backup my Documents folder with OneDrive, I wrote a script that zips my Document folder and uploads it to ProtonDrive. It works really well as a backup solution, except I was seeing me use up all my storage. After a bit of investigating, I realized that it was saving every version of the zipped backup (each backup is ~30G, so it was filling up quickly).

    While I would like to keep the 180 day version history on all my files, I would like it to be possible to change this setting…

  3. Foto Sync

    Ich habe ein iOS Gerät und die Fotosynchronisation eingeschaltet. Nun werden einige Fotos doppelt in der Proton Mediathek angezeigt, da es bei einem bearbeiteten Bild das original und das neue Bild speichert, auch wenn auf dem IPhone nur das bearbeitete Exemplar vorhanden ist.

    Zusätzlich wäre es super es würde auch gelöste Fotos synchronisieren.

  5. web client: Show upload/download speed and ETA

    When you download/upload a file with the web client, it would be very nice if you could see the download/upload speed per second and an ETA (left: 5min12s - finishes at 13:46).

  8. Different storage options

    We need higher and smaller storage options. If I need to buy 1TB storage, I should able to buy it without buying Duo plan. And also we need smaller plans. Some people need less storage than 500GB. So, there should be a plan which has 100GB storage.

  9. Enable 'rclone' to give you access to the Proton Drive as part of the Mac file system, or produce a Terminal app yourselves.

    I've used the command-line program 'rclone' to show my Proton Drive as part of my Mac file system, so I can backup files from a Terminal. It's dead slow, but it worked. Then, two days ago, I ran
    rclone mount proton: ~/ProtonDrive \
    --vfs-cache-mode writes \
    --tpslimit 0.3 \
    --transfers 1 \
    --checkers 1 \
    --low-level-retries 1 \
    --timeout 10s \
    --daemon --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true
    and it said
    "CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "proton:": couldn't initialize a new proton drive instance: 422 POST https://mail.proton.me/api/auth/v4: We are detecting potentially abusive traffic coming from your network and have temporarily blocked logins. If…

  10. Start Drive sync while 'preparing'

    Apologies, not sure if "new feature" or 'change to existing feature'.

    Setting up Proton Drive on a new machine or after a re-format - it spends HOURS "Setting up... (x items prepared for sync)" before it actually starts syncing.

    Why can't it start syncing what is already 'prepared' while figuring out the rest? Would be a HUGE QoL improvement for users and save a TON of time getting people up and running.

  12. Share folders and files with admin rights

    Currently you can only share files with other email addresses as viewer or editor.
    You should be able to share as admin with full rights: sharing, moving, deleting, ...
    This goes for folders as well.

  13. Folder slider view and browsing improvements in Android app

    When browsing multiple files in a folder, I don't see the slider on the right and I don't know how much space is left. Also, when I open a file and then return, I often end up not where I left off. Please fix this, as it's very annoying.

  14. Speed up downloads from Proton Drive using shared links

    I've shared a folder that was about 337 MB using a share link. The downloads are abysmally slow at 47.83 KB/s to 185.54 KB/s. Then the download fails at less than a third of the way through.

    I'm on a paid plan. Replicated with the person whom I shared the folder. Both of us can't download it.

    Both of us are on different high bandwidth fiber internet plans and have no issues with other content.

  15. Saved and existing images in the cloud

    Images that have already been uploaded to the cloud should then be clearly visible under Photos. If you have many folders with images in the cloud, they should be organized and visible as albums under Photos. Otherwise, the feature is useless for many people.

  16. Hide identity of uploader

    Currently, a publicly shared folder in proton drive shows the address of whomever uploaded it, and this address cannot be changed to a different one than that originally tied to your account as far as I can tell.

    This can be gotten around by uploading from a private window with no login, however it would be nice if it was simply an option to change or hide the identifier, at least for those who the folder is shared to or used a public share link.

  17. Proton Docs file history should not count towards maximum file size limit of 25MB

    When working with several larger images into a Proton document you can quickly run into the file size limit of 25MB.
    Going back and deleting said pictures is also of no help, as they are still kept in the document history, and now any further changes of that file are held ******* by said history. Not even rollbacks to previous versions are possible.

    There are currently two ways around this.
    1: Create a copy of the document (and re-share any links, in case of a shared document)
    2: Disable all file history for everything in Proton Drive.

    Option 1 is…

  18. Making possible deleting a video from the phone gallery before is completely uploaded in Proton Drive without gettin proton drive stuck

    Every time I delete a video from my phone, before Proton drive has finished to upload it, the app remains stuck uploading that.
    Please solve this, because if I delete a picture or a video, it means that I don't need it in Proton drive neither.

  19. On-Demand file syncing for windows & synchronisation of PCs

    Trying to change from Onedrive, but it's on-demand file download is too powerful. Apps & Games being able to call for and wait for a Onedrive download automatically should be a feature of Proton Drive.

    Also ability to have all Windows PCs synced under one location in Proton drive. so they all have the same files available. Proton Drive having PCs have there own individual folders was a big let down when I was changing over.

  20. Possibility to import existing Album structures from "Foto-App from Apple"

    Please integrate a import function, to import the already existing Album structure of the Photo Library from Apple Environment. This would help to switch, because to do that manually for thousands of photos is a big hurdle.
