  1. Webinterface Uploading: Create 1 folder, upload its files and subfolders, THEN create the next folder

    Currently, when you upload folders in the webinterface, i.e. a fotos folder with 300 subfolders, drive first creates all 300 folders (why?) and then starts uploading into them.
    The problem is: If a download fails or you close the browser accidentally, and you have to continue the upload, you have no idea what has been uploaded and what not. So you have to delete everything and start from scratch.
    It would be better if the upload happens folder by folder so you can see where the upload was interrupted and can continue right there.

  4. Improve swipe down gesture

    When viewing a photo on Proton Drive, the swipe down gesture to return to the Photo's Home Page requires a long and precise swipe. On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, this is difficult because my thumb cannot comfortably reach the required distance.

    But on my iOS's Photos app, I do not have this problem and I can comfortably swipe to go back to the next/previous photo or return to the default view with a minimal gesture

  5. Uploading in the iOS application

    It's unacceptable and extremely annoying that you can only select and upload a maximum of 10 files at a time on iOS. Android offers so many more options. Please change this urgently. It's such a huge hindrance.

  6. Populate Proton Docs sidebar with folders that contain documents

    Alongside the Recents and Trash views, include folders from Proton Drive where documents have been stored. When the user selects a folder from the sidebar, show all documents from that folder in the list of files.

  7. It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first.

    It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first. This is a very important feature for your privacy-focused target audience, so it doesn't make sense to hide it in the settings and FORCE the user to make their private data public during the set up phase. It should be on the share screen and very obvious. In fact, you can make a whole separate option so that it is mutually exclusive with the publically accessible link toggle.

  8. You ******* *****, let me create folder albums inside of albums under Photos Tab

    I have never seen such a half baked product company in my entire life. You sell yourselves as privacy bastions to tackle Google and co circle jerk friends yet you bow to the same evil practices that make us hate big tech in the first place. With Google they are always giving us a reason to hate them. Privacy first. With Proton you are always giving us a reason to hate you. Half baked feature after another. Stop this, give us the basics with each release so we actually want to recommend you to people who won't hate us for…

  10. Video

    Besides playing video, it’d be a big step up if the video player could play the sound that comes with it as well. Otherwise I have to download the video from Photos each time I want to re-watch it.

  11. Move photos from photos tab to other folders

    Hi, thanks for making Drive available for Linux. I use Fedora 39 KDE.
    I also use Photo backup via Android (Samsung S23)
    When I open all my files/photos in Linux web browesr, if I right click images, I can move to respective folders. As well as preview, move,rename, get link & delete.
    If I open the folder that uploads Photos, via Android, this option is not available. Only download, upload or delete.
    Perhaps this is a feature in the making?

  12. The file viewer adjustable width to fit the window to make the text more readable

    When you view a .txt file in a ProtonDrive (meaning when for example someone access it via public sharing link), it is better readable if the lines are not too wide (as it is currently), but when the .txt file contains for example a code or a log entries, then the too narrow viewer makes the file very hard to read, so you end up sharing such files using different service than Proton (which is bad).

    I think that the width should be adjustable and by default made wider to fit/fill whole window. I am using Firefox browser.

  13. Do not rename photos

    Sometimes I save my android pictures with a USB cable and sometimes with Proton Drive. When I want to be sure there is no photo forgotten I paste all the proton saved photos in my Windows folders again, but since Proton changes automatically the photos' names, it becomes a mess with many duplicates. Do you really need to change the file's name? Why not keep the original name ?

  14. please make "always available on this device" the default or configurable

    To keep it short, because my previous idea was just deleted:
    Please make "always available on this device" the default, or at least configurable, so that I don't have to select "always keep on this device" for every new file on my local system (to make the light green check mark a dark green one).

    (but why has my previous idea been deleted without any notion while it was a serious effort from my side???)

  15. Delete phone photos after upload

    Option to delete uploaded photos from phone

    Just uploading pictures is not enough if I need to check and delete the pictures by hand. There should be the option to one-click delete uploaded pictures or do that automatically after a certain time.

  17. Render Photo Captions/Titles from the Photo's metatdata

    (a) When viewing the photo gallery, optionally, display the photo's caption/title.

    This would have to be done carefully as there are many candidate places in a photo that a "caption" of sorts is stored: jpeg caption, jpeg title, etc..

    (b) The ability to edit the "caption" metadata and then modify the source file.

    This means that all the effort that goes into captioning photos would not be lost as the edits would "stick" with the photo. If completed, this would make Proton Photos better than any other cloud Photo applications - as all the other store the caption away fro…

  18. Expand Proton Drive Search to Include Trash, PCs, and Mobile Devices

    As a Visionary Plan user, I use Proton Drive a lot for storing and managing my files. It would be really helpful if the search feature could be expanded to include:

    Trash Folder: Right now, finding deleted files in the Trash is hard because there's no search. Adding search here would make it much easier to recover lost files quickly.
    Files on My PCs and Mobile Devices: Currently, search only works for files inside Proton Drive. If it could also search files on my linked devices, it would save me a lot of time and make managing my files much…

  19. pdf reader improvement

    If a link is to a pdf and so opens in a pdf reader embeded in a proton page, I can click the Download button and the file will download with the proper file title. However within the reader is a download arrow. If you were to click on that to download the file the file name is a garbled number and letter sequence. I've tried this with another cloud drive service which the process looks nearly identical except that clicking the download arrow retains the file name. I'm guess most people would hit the Download button but as a…

  20. ask to merge folders of same name during upload

    During upload to the browser interface, if I upload an updated version of a previously uploaded folder structure, the app asks me if I want to replace the previous folders of the same name, if I want to skip folders of the same name, or if I want to keep both.
    I propose a fourth option of merging folders of similar names and then if this choise is made, ask for the choice of replace, keep both or do nothing for files specifically. This behavior would be similar to the experience of moving or copying files in folders on Windows.
