  1. Add a setting to set additional paths for automatic photo backup

    Currently, the automatic photo backup feature on Android only looks for photos in the Camera and Screenshots folders. I'd like for there to be a setting to add additional folder paths that will be backed up, so that for example photos in my downloads folder will get backed up.

  2. Set External Drive as main location

    My mac is the lowest spec but because of the speed of M processors it runs all my software for work better than any PC i've ever had. The cost of having a massive storage space inside my Mac is the reason I cannot use Proton Drive at the moment. I have 1TB external SSD which is my Dropbox location, if I could set Proton Drive to my external SSD as the main folder my life would instantly be better. I actually love how Proton Drive functions and am desperate to get out of the chaotic Dropbox ecosystem. Please explore…

  4. 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.

  5. Multi account on Proton Drive PC application and access history in docs by email

    Multi accounts on Proton Drive PC application (like Proton Mail) would be very helpful for users who have more than 1 account to manage, we need to make loggout and login again on Drive creating every time a new folder in PC w/ different names to access the documments on the cloud. it makes everything confuse and impractical.

    Additionally, I suggest to implement an access history for docs by email/PC-ID and an easy buttom to download the registers (for controllers/creators) - very useful for business access control and compliance.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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. Granular backups

    we need ability to ignore files by type, name, or if they're in a specific directory that can be matched by name or some kind of regex. it is really annoying that some games have shader caches in Documents folder and it keeps backing these up- filling my trash can with a Terabyte of poo that I have to clean to recover my space.

  11. 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.

  13. Photos and videos - Fullscreen display in browser

    Now the photos on the screen are displayed in a small frame.

    F11 for a larger view in the browser will only enlarge it slightly, but it is still a small frame.

  15. 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.

  18. Integration of folders and files shared with you.

    It would be really great if we could move my owned files to folders that have been shared with me. I don't need to remove from shared folders but being able to add a doc I have created in my own files and folders to a folder someone else has shared with me.
