  1. Remove "Delete account" from iOS app

    I noticed you can easily delete the account from the iOS Proton Drive app, I think this should removed in case the device falls in the wrong hands.

  4. Make the Files button always go to root folder ("home")

    Proton Drive on iphone:
    I think the "files" button at the bottom should always take you to the root folder
    (same logic and function as on dropbox)

  5. Proton Drive Integration with Android Default Storage

    I haven't yet found a way to set Proton Drive as a default storage location on Android within the "My Files" functionality which drives selectable save options for most file save actions. Obviously, Google Drive is available along with MS OneDrive, internal storage, SD storage and network storage. Having Proton Drive set here would make file management much easier on Android mobile.

  6. Back up files based on comparison of date last modified vs. date last backed up to Proton Drive

    Of the many thousands of files on my computer, only some will have changed since the last backup to Proton Drive. The backup would proceed much faster if Proton Drive would compare the date of last PD backup with the date the source file (on my laptop, for example) was last modified. Perhaps Proton could provide this option: f the latter is more recent than the former, then backup the file. Otherwise, skip.

  7. Upload from a hyperlink

    Ideally we would have remote upload but then I guess that's not possible due to E2EE. So, instead give a web UI feature, where instead of having to manually download and then upload, the Web UI itself downloads the file onto storage and encrypts and uploads it.

  8. Windows client on mutli-account PC

    I am using two different user accounts on my PC (one for work, one for private purposes).

    I want to access and sync my private Proton Drive folder while using my work profile. OneDrive supports this, I just create a folder, e.g., c:\OneDrive and enable sync on both user accounts. If I do the same with Proton Drive, it tells me that's not possible because the folder has to be empty to initialize the sync process.

    Right now, I would need two separate folders with the same content, wasting disk space and bandwidth because all files would be synced twice.

  9. Web PDF Viewer Improvements

    Here are possible improvements to the pdf viewer (web):
    - Remove encryption
    - Convert to PDF/A
    - Convert to Linearized PDF

    I think the first one is the most useful for people. And once this is implemented, the other two could be easy to implement (given the toolchain required for the the first one).

  10. Marked skipped uploads as skipped instead of failed/canceled

    When uploading a folder via web, when prompted with regard to what to do when a file already exists, if you choose skip existing files, those files are then listed in the Failed list, as Canceled.

    This can be confusing, because if you have files that actually failed, instead of being skipped as intended, then you cannot distinguish those from the ones you've said to skip.

    I'd expect skipped files to show in Completed, or maybe some other tab, rather than Failed.

  12. Crucial information on reinstalltion is not documented, seriuosly impacting on what is cloud stored. Default setting not appropriate

    New features:
    * Relevant documentation
    * The removal process in the app should NOT have the default set to "Remove Proton Drive settings and previously remembered credentials"
    * Removal of a named folder from the list of folders that set to be synced is too simple.

    I could not find any documentation on this, only found out by multiple tests.

    If your plan is to reinstall the Proton Drive app and expect to return to syncing as before with all previous versions intact - Be careful.

    If you have to reinstall on the same PC/laptop at program removal time you…

  14. Shared folders linked to Proton account (not just public links)

    Privacy and security are at the core of Proton's mission. Sharing folders through Proton Drive should be no different. A public URL for sharing stops short of privacy and security. A model that upholds privacy and security would be an invite model. Invite a specific person to the folder, if they do not have a Proton account, they can create one. They use this login to access files in the shared folder.

    A public URL has zero traceability to who is accessing the data. An invitation to a specific person would allow for traceability of the files in the folder…

  15. Share upload folder link

    Share folders with the option to allow upload of files. This is an essencial feature to allow secure file transfer. Bonus points if notifications for uploaded files are present from day1.

    This is especially important for companies, where receiving large files is sometimes troublesome.

    Myself and my family currently use a (payed) competitor that provides this feature, and I can assure you I will not be adopting proton drive unless an equivalent feature is available.

    PS: All the said.. I'm not sure posting ideas on this platform is of any use, provided proton has not given any feedback to any…

  16. Support ReFS and Storage Spaces for Windows

    I recently received Beta access to Proton Drive. However, it is mostly unusable to me as I cannot have my sync folder on my Storage Spaces drive that uses ReFS.

    Boot drive with NTFS works properly.

  17. Auto-Lock After 'x' Number Of Minutes Of Inactivity (E.g. Logout If Idle For 10 Minutes)

    I'd really like the ability to set the web app(s) -- e.g. drive.proton.me, mail.proton.me, etc., etc. -- to automatically lock if idle for 'x' number of minutes, such as after 2, 5, or 10 minutes of inactivity. Currently, the only other option is to uncheck the "stay logged in" at login, and even then it only logs you out if you've closed the browser (some people keep the web browser open indefinitely).

  18. Sync Google Drive and Photos to Proton

    Any docs/pictures on the Google service need to be automatically transferred over to Proton. This keeps a seemless experience on the device, while not retaining (long term) data with Google.
