3. Change Drive Password System

   My phone is used by many people including my friends. So they know the password of my phone. And because the drive has a device lock system, anyone can easily access it. So it would be better if you use a separate password system on the drive. thank you

4. 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!

5. Selective syncing of files for Mac/Linux/Windows

   Actual syncing of files is so important, that I was considering to upgrade my plan today for getting 500GB storage. But then I realized that ProtonDrive doesn't sync files, and that it works with manual upload/download only, so it wouldn't be useful for me, and so I'll wait rather than upgrade now.

   I work with Mac, Linux, and Windows computers, so I need to sync across them.

   Also note that I said "selective syncing". It would be highly desirable that if you have 200GB of files and you start working with a computer you didn't sync yet, this doesn't trigger a 200GB download, but just a download of the files you really need in that moment. I realize that doing this automatically would be technically challenging (specially if you support Mac, Linux, and Windows), because it would require low-level integration with the filesystem, which is a hard thing, but... I tend to believe there could be some manual workaround (like manually limiting the synced folders/files for a computer) that could offer almost the same functionality without a technically difficult solution.

   Selective syncing is not just about avoiding unnecessary huge downloads, but to be able to work in computers whose free disk space is not enough for storing all your files: if you could choose to sync only a part of the folders tree in that limited space computer, it would be perfect.

   By the way, being able to bypass network-based syncing in some situations, by copying the files with a physical hard disk, would be a plus. Just imagine: You get a new laptop, and you want to sync on it your 200GB of files. Rather than doing it with the network, if you have your files in another computer and you can copy them with a physical disk or local network, you would save lots of unnecesary network traffic. Then, after such big copy is done, the new laptop will continue working with network-based syncing as usual.

6. See everything in Proton Drive on all platforms

   Description does include why as well
   .To know 100% that a file is backed up onto the drive and it's there. So you can press” all the files on Proton Drive’
   and it shows ALL THe files ever uploaded that are there currently and you can search for it or at least filter by name type size. A SEARCH FEATURE would be a f awesome thing
   My phone is chock a block and needed to for security of a person's actions document vast amounts of info
   Now I still have a phone full as I can NOT afford to lose any videos of the crime they committed.
   I can't see the file and files that I think are uploaded. I just can't be sure it is on the server.
   it's confusing.
   MY files/computer/and sections may be linked to the drive just installed for proton. I have to manually look through all sections and look up the strings of numbers to try to find . rather than simply filter by date and check size or whatever.
   FRUSTRATING i can not after putting as much as i could on laptop from phone now laptop is full and phones full and simply can not delete the phone vids or ones on laptop to make room.
   If I could simply click ALL MY FILES ON PROTON SERVER then after knowing i had GGLE photos on backup as a backup for this drive at proton and it was there and it was synced with proton and i could see it. Have confidence to
   Finally free up MY laptop and my phone and the NASTY AS F intrusive evil GOOGLE photos that's full and won't let you use email if full
   But as of now
   After paying large for top tier it is fundamentally probably pointless as I HAVE to NOT lose these captured crimes and if not 100% confident they are all there. I have to keep on my laptop phone and keep the evil google photos sub and . ahh it won't be implemented and if it did
   Id grab 3 top tier subs make a foolproof way to access if i lost all things and had only had a library to try use and open them till gain funds for pc and phone
   And drop GOOGLE and its sub in a nanosecond. I choose who i give money to if i can as i do not want to help BAD people and this is Google but we had no alternative.
   I do hope Proton does fill the gap and there is a good v evil
   Stone.D
   By making it dead simple and easy to see EVERYTHING ON THE PROTON DRIVE

9. Sync parent folder containing subfolders containing albums

   Currently the Proton Drive Android app lets you sync local folders, but with a limitation: if you have a big folder containing multiple subfolders (like that you get out from a Google Photos takeout), the Android app shows all the subfolders individually, instead of letting you choose any of the parent folders. Selecting these subfolders can be tiresome if you have photos spanning 15 years. It would be really nice to have more flexibility in the choice of the folders to sync.

12. 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.

13. Syncing delay for desktop client

    I often temporariliy work with files on my PC. For example I want to unzip a zip file, copy the contents to another drive and then delete the unzipped folder. Now with automatic syncing enabled I have to wait until the unzipped folder has been synced with Proton Drive before I can deleted (because the folder is in use by the proton desktop client).

    My suggestion is to add a "sync delay" option so that it waits for x minutes before syncing to Proton Drive. This allows me to delete files and folders right away, and probably will also reduce internet traffic and battery usage.

    Or maybe it is possible to detect when I try to delete a folder or file that is currently being synced, and then cancel the syncing right away.

16. Asustor Support

    Hi!

    I have an Asustor NAS that can back up to off-site storage. While there are plenty of off-site solutions from Amazon, Google, etc., having it tied to an encrypted service like ProtonDrive would be great!

18. Scroll through photos on iOS

    I noticed that when using Proton Drive with the iOS app, you only have to open one photo at a time to view images. It would be very useful if, once the first photo has been opened, it was possible to view the others by scrolling through them as happens in the web version.

19. Proton Automatic Secure Backup for local PC

    I currently use Google to back up my local PC files, and have found it both convenient and very reliable, but because I am aware of the privacy issues, I first I use a product called BoxCryptor to encrypt the files before they are handed off to Google. This has worked well, balances the convenance of cloud backup with data security. But BoxCytptor has been acquired by another company, and so now I’m going to have to locate an alternative solution. I would prefer to simply back up my data directly to my Proton drive and call it a day and say good by to my friends at Google.
    Is there any chance that Proton might be creating a backup product to join it’s family of data privacy products to permit customers to securely back their local data to their secure proton drive automatically?

20. Cryptographically signed (and verified) media

    With the challenges with misinformation and AI generated videos, photos and audio, Proton is in a unique position to leverage their development of pgp tools to integrate pgp signatures into the metadata for media. Similar to the preshared keys to validate (and encrypt) data with Proton's other products, this would be a video/photo feature of Proton Drive that would allow the signing of the photo with a pgp type signature. I'm not sure exactly how this would work given that pgp is file based but I think that Proton is well positioned to address verifying the chain of ownership for media.
