  1. Backup Windows system folders

    For those of us that use Steam for gaming, or any other platform where local save data is saved to program files or program files x86 it would be nice if those files can be added to the Proton Drive app. Some of the games I have save character data to these directories and I am unable to add them to the Drive app as it indicates it is a 'system folder that can't be synced'. I know Steam has their own cloud backup for save files, but this would be better, at least for me.

  2. Calidad de imágenes

    Sometimes when I'm going to re-disload an image already up, it gets lowered, I get lower, fix that.


    A veces cuando voy a volver a descargar una imagen ya subida, se me baja con menor calidad, arreglen eso.

  4. Optional One-way or Two-Way synchronization direction

    I want to use ProtonDrive on Windows for backing up my data.
    In order not to loose my local data I would suggest additional options to improve the synchronization process.

    1. One direction sync (send files to Proton servers only) vs two-way sync.

    Now local files cannot be deleted when data from the Proton servers is removed (by accident or intentionally)
    This also would enable to link the synchronization to an already existing backed up computer on the Proton Servers. In my case I got a duplication of saved data after I re-installed the Proton Drive Windows app.

    2. Propagate

  5. Folder specific layouts

    Each folder should have its own layout. A folder should remember the layout I set it to, and use that layout when opened later.

  6. Show previews for RAW image files

    As a Photographer, its so important to be able to see previews of my RAW files in my cloud backup, it's currently impossible to find the photos I need easily, which makes it really hard for me to justify moving away from Google Drive, which I'm keen to do.

  7. Root access to proton drive similar to Dropbox/Onedrive instead of "My files"

    Please change this for a better file experience. Many of us map our files, and this current form is messy. Also "Files" should have been capitalized, this looks ridiculous.

  8. Choose photo sync folder per device

    Hello,

    It would be good to allow the user to select the folder where Photos are synced to for each device, as done by other services.

    This would be particularly useful when a user possesses more than one mobile device and wishes to keep the photos of each of those devices separate from the others.

    Example:
    Mobile 1: PhotoFolder1
    Mobile 2: PhotoFolder2
    Mobile 3: PhotoFolder1

    Thank you

    Create a single-click "Mirror Entire Device" button to enable backing up an exact copy of an entire device (phone, laptop, etc.) to Proton Drive.

  10. Set number of times a shared file can be accessed

    I want to be able to share a file with a password that can only be used once.

    My motivation for this is that it greatly helps detect when a breach has happened because the person you're trying to share with won't be able to access the file as somebody got there before them.

  11. Add(/download) whole Folder

    waiting for automatic synchronizations, it would be useful to be able to upload an entire folder, without having to select the files one by one.

  12. Add ability to Copy, Paste, Better Sorts, Like, Rotate, etc

    We need some basic features like CUT/COPY/PASTE. Would like to be able to sort using other metadata besides the upload/modified date - for photos, creation date is essential for sorting. What about tagging/liking/favoriting/♥️ photos? Not having the ability to scroll through photos and easily view the detailed metadata will be a dealbreaker at some point. Basic photo editing tools like at least ‘rotate’ would be great. It really needs some of these simple features to make it usable.

  13. Sync iPad OS file changes

    Presently the Windows client of Proton Drive allows launch, change and save of files. That function is not active in the OS for the ipad, where any changes made to a file are not saved to the drive file. This means I can make, save and leave a file thinking its updated and when I return to it, the changes are missing.

    Lets fix this! thanks

  14. Reaction tracker button

    Dear Proton Development Team,

    I'd like to suggest a valuable addition to enhance user engagement: the introduction of a "Reaction Tracker" button for folders. Here's a brief overview of how this feature could function:

    1. Users can activate the Reaction Tracker for a specific folder within the Proton app.
    2. When a recipient opens a shared video link from that folder, their face camera will automatically initiate recording.
    3. The recorded reaction videos would be neatly stored in a designated folder titled "Recorded Reactions" for easy access.

    This innovative feature not only adds an element of surprise and delight to video sharing but…

  15. A configurable setting for the number of threads you upload with - enabling speedy upload of many small files.

    In the desktop client during initial configuration I would like to be able to increase the number of upload threads to on-boarding significantly quicker.

    For instance, if I have a code repository uploading to Proton Drive and the repository is composed of a node modules directory or a python modules directory there might be tens of thousands of files, and each one of them may be less than a kilobyte.

    In this case the time taken to initiate the connection, write the data, and report it as finished takes up almost all of the overall time.

  16. Scanning documents

    If saving a physical document into Proton Drive, it needs to be scanned first. It would be great to get it into be a pdf-file directly from Proton Drive. Not using a third party app. Take a look at Tresorit to see how they solved it.

  17. Alter documents in Drive without downloading, altering, and re-uploading/replacing

    I would like to be able to interact with and alter/edit documents inside the drive. It is cumbersome to make a simple edit to a document by having to download, alter elsewhere, and then upload and delete the older version.

  18. Programming: No spaces in Proton Drive Desktop sync path ("My files" folder cannot be renamed)

    The root "My files" sync directory where all files reside under contains a space which is problematic for development reasons.

    Currently I have "D:\ProtonDrive\My files\Coding..." and this isn't ideal because it makes dealing with development files tedious in some cases. If "My files" could be renamed to without spaces, this would resolve the issue. The folder cannot be renamed due to Windows permissions (and doing so would probably break things anyway).

    A symbolic link with a spaceless name (e.g. "MyFiles") cannot be created to work around this, again due to permissions (access denied).

    Please allow us to rename the "My…
