  1. Number of Items in Folder

    Hi,
    I suggest you add an indication of number of items in a given folder.
    Would be even nicer to have split by file extension (.docx, xlsx...)
    Thanks

  2. Pause backup photos

    Pause backup photos on Android.
    It is sometimes necessary to delete some photos before backing them up.

    Deleting backed up photos is much slower than deleting photos in the phone gallery, and when automatic backup is enabled, you have to delete photos both in the phone gallery and on Proton Drive.

    Manually turning backups off and on takes a long time because it's deeper in the settings, someone needs to specify yet another folder for backups, and most importantly, when backups are turned on, all the photos on the phone are synced if they're already backed up.

    Thank you.

  4. Memories feature

    One part of Google Photos that I will miss is the "Memories" feature. Not the creepy cloud-based processing, but just the notification to scroll through some of my old photos.

    It doesn't have to be fancy, and you can play the same cheesy jingle each time!

    (Unless there's a workaround and I can use another app that can safely read local photos while Proton Drive backs them up securely?)

  5. Open local PDF files on mobile

    The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

  6. Option to Auto Update Desktop Client for Windows

    It would be nice if there were an option in the settings to automatically update the Proton Drive client for Windows, so that updates would happen silently and not require me to click a button every time.

  7. Optimize local storage with files on-demand option

    Some cloud storage applications have options to optimize local storage space by allowing users to optionally enable files on-demand. In this usage, the full file is stored in Proton Drive cloud with a representative file stored locally. When a user attempts to open the locally stored representative file (say opening a JPEG), the full file is downloaded just in time.

  8. Limit Sync Bandwidth

    Thank you for honoring Visionary subscribers with the extra capacity of Proton Drive. Please consider adding a setting that would limit the bandwidth during sync operations. The transfer speed is consuming all available bandwidth and it is difficult to do anything else when the sync process is running.

  9. Segmentation - Multiple Drives Per Account

    The ability to completely segment a drive and have multiple drives per account would be a good feature. It would ensure that you could share and/or sync specific drives to a desktop app without the risk of unintended sharing data stored on the other drive(s). Additional drives could be purchased as an add-on or users could elect to split their available account drive capacity across multiple drives.

  10. limit number of link accesses or file downloads

    Introduce feature whereby a user can only download file once or allow a link to only be used once so file can be listing on online marketplaces like ebay or trademe - so the link expires after download. Perhaps even a feature where you can assign multiple links on the same file that can be downloaded once only by each user - that is a feature I would upgrade to pro for

  11. Sort files based on metadata in the file (ID3 tag, Exif, etc)

    it would be nice to be able add columns to the list view that index data from within the file.

    For photos/images, EXIF fields like date/time taken, location, camera make/model etc.
    For music, standard id3 tags.

  12. Open files in other apps

    Please allow us to directly open files in our Drive with another Android application. I don't need an integrated viewer for every type of file, just away to open the applications that are already registered for that type of file on my phone.

    I recently moved in from Dropbox to Proton Drive, and I probably wouldn't have done it had I realized this feature was unavailable!

  14. Cut or copy files to upload

    For me it would be helpful to auto delete files as soon they are uploaded. Or a choice of copy or cut.

  15. shared folder notifications of file upload

    It would be great if it was possible to have a customizable notification email sent to designated addresses when a file gets uploaded to a shared folder, both between proton users and external users.

    The same for if people have a drop folder, that the owner user would receive a notification of that activity.

    This is especially useful for business activity where for a time you may have to share files securely and in real time. For example: if you are in legal proceedings and need to supply documents to your lawyer on a regular basis, you can do so…

  16. Hidden app data folders

    I'd like to propose the addition of a feature allowing applications to create a secret, hidden folder within Proton Drive for storing application-specific data. Similar to Google Drive's app data folder, this would enhance security, isolate application data, improve user privacy, and align with industry best practices.

    Google Drive's app data folder:

  17. Customize duration between version history

    Proton Drive stores a maximum of 200 versions of a file. If, for example, you save frequently when programming, you can quickly save 200 versions. For example, I would need a version of a file from 2 days ago. Unfortunately, the history only goes back to yesterday.

    It would be good to save versions of a file at a time interval. For example, 5, 10, 15 etc. minutes between the modification time of a file. This would be a global setting for the version history.

  18. Option to ignore sync issues in specific folders

    ProtonDrive displays a bunch of sync issues for file locks which may be unessential to sync immediately. This presents a problem for when actual sync issues show up which may go unnoticed. There should be an option to disable sync issues for specific folders, as well as a section to display "ignored" sync issues.

    In my case, I have ProtonDrive to sync my Thunderbird profiles. Thunderbird constantly uses these files, so there is a file lock on many of them and ProtonDrive is unable to sync. This is expected functionality however, and the files will sync once Thunderbird is closed.…

  19. Replace file metadata modified date by upload date. Or add column for upload date

    Metadata modified date could be irrelevant when backup to cloud (example: it could be a file with lot of read without modifying it or metadata got deleted and defaulted to some date).
    Either replace or add a column for date uploaded to Proton Drive could be very helpful when sorting through file.
