  1. Sync between computers

    I have a PC and a laptop and with onedrive they both share one truth. So if I change something in documents on my laptop the pc documents folder gets also updated. But in Proton drive only two separated computers are created keeping the data isolated.
    I would like to have an option to have the data shared between multiple devices like it's the standard in onedrive

  3. Proton Drive synced files logs

    It would be nice to have the existing Proton Drive for MacOS (Windows too?) show more information when you click on the icon. For example, Google Drive client shows you an "activity log" where you immediately see which files have been sync recently or are being uploaded in real time.

    I am aware that you can open Settings and navigate to "Show logs" but that is not a proper way to showcase what is going on with your files in real time.

  4. Proton Drive Upload Speed Limiter

    When proton drive is synchronizing a large amount at once, particularly when multiple video files are synchronizing all at once, it bogs down my internet speed a lot. Adding a upload speed limiter would be nice.

  5. Tokens for Protondrive

    We need tokens for Protondrive, similar to the tokens for SMTP submission (see https://proton.me/support/smtp-submission). It should be possible to assign these tokens on a folder basis. This would make backups to Protondrive much easier. Currently the 2FA code has to be entered sporadically (e.g. for rclone).

  6. A true synchronisation of all files and folders designated to Proton Drive. Not just photos

    A true synchronisation of all files and folders designated to Proton Drive. Not just photos. For example the Documents folder, the downloads folder or the Desktop. Or any other folder on your device you want synced with Proton Drive.

  8. rschnat@protonmail.com

    Sorry, this may be misplaced, but here goes: I cannot get Proton Drive to install on my HP ENVY x2 - 12-e001nf laptop. It's an ARM 64 bit laptop (running Windows 10 for ARM), but when I try to run the official installer for ARM (1.10.1), Windows says "This app can't run on your PC"

    I've tried to run it as a local user, and an administrator, and I also ran the compatibility troubleshooter. No-go. Really disappointed with this

  9. Dynamic Chunk Sizing

    Many cloud storage services, including Proton Drive, already implement chunked file uploads to enable resumable transfers. However, a static chunk size may not always be optimal, especially for users dealing with fluctuating bandwidth, mobile networks, or satellite internet.

    To address this, I suggest the introduction of an initial network assessment upon first use of the app, which would:
    * Run a speed test to evaluate latency, upload/download speed, and packet loss.
    * Set a default chunk size appropriate for the detected network conditions.
    * Offer a manual override option for users to customize chunk sizes based on their preferences, or…

  10. Photo upload HEIC

    It would be great to have the possibility to change the Proton drive Photo upload function.
    Using an iPhone i have trouble with .heic uploaded to drive and using it e.g on a windows client system.
    Please give me a Option like on Dropbox to auto convert heic to jpg.

    Also there should be a second option to only upload new photos not the whole library other wise it starts uploading 20k images once I change my phone.

  13. Detect Windows "metered" network setting to auto-pause sync of Drive client

    Proton Drive client on Windows does not have a feature to disable sync when on a mobile tether, or network marked as "metered" in Windows settings.

    OneDrive and Outlook Windows client software automatically detects and advises sync is "paused', with ability to manually connect sync.

    A possible similar solution may be a simple code change for Proton Drive (and Mail) client's to check property value using UWP (Universal Windows Platform) NetworkHelper 'ConnectionCost'. A community toolkit knowledgebase article is:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/helpers/networkhelper

    Can sync auto-pause on 'metered' networks please be explored as a feature?

    NOTE: Below is background explaining impact of this feature…

  14. macOS' finder custom Proton Drive Icon

    It would be nice to have the Proton Dive icon siting next to other cloud services in the Finder's sidebar instead of the regular folder icon. Easier to find too!

  16. change email Shared by

    As a Proton Premium user with more than 5 domains using mx.proton and mx.simplelogin, I appreciate the new folder sharing feature in Proton Drive that allows others to upload files. However, I am facing a challenge as I cannot change the email address of the folder owner. This becomes less practical when I need to share with clients using an email address from a different domain. I hope Proton can consider providing users with the option to change the email address, given the interconnectedness of the Proton and SimpleLogin ecosystems.

  17. Add "Select All" to Proton Docs Edit Menu in Proton Drive

    To enable easier text selection as the contextual iOS Select All option

    is not always visible.
    This would make extracting text/content from a documents stored in Proton Drive easier, the mobile app text selection and adjustment of the selected text is fustrating to use over mulitple pages /view ports on a mobile device.

  18. Problem with Arabic language support Proton Drive

    I'm having a major issue with Proton Drive that's really frustrating. When I try to name files and folders, the text comes out backwards - it's like it's being written from left to right instead of right to left. For example, I try to name a folder "مستندات" (which means "Documents" in Arabic), but it shows up as "تادنستم". It's not just a minor annoyance, it's actually preventing me from using the service the way I want to.

    I think this is a pretty big deal, there are other users are having the same issue, and it's stopping me and…

  19. Timing for backup

    Hello,
    I would really appreciate timing for backup. e.g. once a day, week, month etc.
    Right now, Proton uploads photos immediately after they are taken and that generates a lot of garbage in photos on the drive. I would like to have a chance to sort the photos out before backup. e.g. delete them, edit them etc.

    I hope I explained it enough.

  20. Better Photo Organization

    1)Make a default folder for all camera uploads in the drive (give ability to users to choose this folder location for default uploads) where all the photos will be uploaded when using backup from mobile or PC (if at all there is such backup from PC feature in future)

    2)Add an option to choose other folder from drive to be included in "Photos tab" i.e the photos in those folders (sub folders) will be shown in "Photos tab".
    Many users sync or upload folders containing photos to drive ("My files tab") and they want those photos to show in "Photos…
