  1. Sync existing macOS folders

    I miss the option to sync a folder that is not the default Proton Drive location in macOS. I think this is available in the Windows app.
    Right now if I want to sync files with Proton Drive I need to copy them to the Proton Drive location in Finder.

  2. Let Proton Drive on android implement "cloud media provider"

    Let Proton Drive on android implement "cloud media provider"

    It's possible for apps to register as "cloud media provider". This means that when a user can use this provider in the android photo picker. This is a great use-case for Proton Drive and would make it a much better Google Photos alternative.

  4. Exclude folders/files

    Thank you for the desktop application, it was necessary and I am very satisfied, excellent job. On the other hand, it would be very useful to have the ability to exclude files/folders, either by selecting them or using a regular expression. For example, excluding folders like 'node_modules'.

  5. Generate a default shared folder when creating a Proton Family account,

    On creation of a Proton Family account, automatically generate a shared folder where all members of the group will have access. Allow the group admin to adjust the size of the shared space and to adjust read/write/delete permissions of each individual family member..

    The current method of sharing via links and passwords is cumbersome.

  6. Export all Drive data

    Please provide a feature like "Take Out" from Google, I constantly make backups of all my data to an offline drive, downloading everything manually is really time consuming.

  7. Table of Contents :: Proton Docs

    Thanks for making Proton Docs!

    Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?

    Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.

    Thanks again!

  8. Show sync progress

    The desktop app could show the sync progress (files synced/total files to be synced) in the Activity tab. That would make it easier to guess how long it might take for the whole syncing process to get completed.

  9. Multiple Shared Drives / Folders

    We request the introduction of a feature in Proton Drive that allows users to create and manage multiple shared drives, each with its own set of users and permissions. These shared drives should be fully integrated into the Proton Drive ecosystem, appearing with a complete hierarchy of folders and files across all platforms (web application, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).

    Feature Details:

    Multiple Shared Drives: Users should be able to create distinct shared drives for different projects or groups. Each shared drive should operate independently, allowing for separate management of users, permissions, and storage quotas.

  10. Linux FUSE mount

    There's currently no method to securely access Proton Drive as a filesystem on Linux.

    I request an application that can be used to mount a drive to the filesystem with on-the-fly encryption/decryption.

    The application should ensure some level of security, such as not storing the account password on the machine, and requiring 2fa at mount time.

    This is because the current mechanism people are using, rclone, is not secure: it is almost trivial for malware to copy the rclone configuration file to obtain the user's Proton password. (It is encrypted using a symmetric encryption, with a static key readily available…

  12. Share documents with non-Proton users via link

    Currently when I share a document via email, the person I emailed is required to make a Proton account in order to view or edit the shared file. I would like to be able to send someone a link (by email or any other method, such as a private message) and they should be able to open and view the file. Google Drive does this.

  13. Proton Gallery, a Cloud Gallery is the future

    We need our own Proton Gallery, separate from Proton Drive, it doesn't make sense to literally have two apps in one, I was using Ente Photos and the app is amazing in what it proposes, much better than Google's 'drive photos', but it's an app with limited functions for now, maybe because it's still in the first version.

    Having a Gallery and a cloud is a dream of Android users, only Apple devices had this function a long time ago, being able to organize and do various things within a cloud is something incredible, unfortunately applications with this ability only…

  14. Copy Dropbox's Selective Sync feature - choose what NOT to pull from the cloud

    Dropbox has a feature they refer to as "Selective Sync". It allows me to select folders that have been synced to the cloud by other computers using my Dropbox account that I do NOT want to have accessible on this computer. I am trying to switch from Dropbox to Proton Drive, but the lack of this feature is giving me heartburn. On one of my machines, I have thousands of files that I want to be backed up offsite, but I don't want them to show up on all my other computers that use PD. I realize they are just…

  15. photo desktop

    Hello!

    These features are VERY essential for a minimum usefulness of the app...

    • Photo folder (so far only available on web view - why???) should be synced with the desktop versions on a "Photo" folder
    • We must be able to move the photos to Drive folders
    • Syncing of the backed up photos in a folder-to-folder system, where a folder named as the original source is created inside the "Photo" folder
    • Like many other ideas posted here: albuns organization, filters by date / creation / etc.

    Thanks!

  16. Warn/prohibit use of filenames incompatible with filesystems commonly used on Windows, macOS, Linux.

    Currently Proton drive does not warn when files saved, e.g. in macOS, have filenames incompatible with Windows filesystems. It would be greatly appreciated if a user was warned before the conflict arise when trying to check synchronisation in a different OS.

  17. Organize pictures with folders or tags

    So I just don't understand how we ended up without any way to organize the photo section of proton drive? I mean it's only organized by date essentially as close as I can tell.

    The problem comes when comparing this to Google photos which I currently pay for and have significant data there, is they allow me to take the files and put keywords in the files under the details area.

    Google also allows me to make folders of specific photos, so they can be organized. I'm just wondering if we can't put some folders in proton drive / photos…

  18. View and edit docs without an account

    It would be cool if anyone with a shareable link could view and edit the document, similar to google docs for example.

    This would greatly lower the barrier for me to use it regularly, as I could share it when planning events or doing a group project with people that don't have proton accounts.

    I genuinely believe docs is a way better experience to use for most things I would usually use word/google/etc. for, and this would allow even more people to get familiar with it.

  19. Nix package for linux client

    The first step would be making a linux-compatible client (see https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client).

    After that, making it into a nix package would be trivial.
