Backup a network drive
When I attempt to use the Proton Drive Windows app, it requests that I select a folder for automatic backup to Proton Drive. However, it will not allow me to select a network drive.

Sync files from one computer to 1 or more others
I often work on data or files on my desktop, and later move to my laptop to continue working. My understanding of the current sync a folder function is that files from each computer are segregated in the cloud. There's no way to sync a folder on one computer and have that folder mirrored on another. This functionality is like SugarSync.

Share Photos folder
It's great we can finally sync our photos automatically with Proton Drive, but now, we'd like to share them.
I would like to be able to share the whole folder with people from my family account.
Congrats for all your great work !

Include additional directories in the photos backup
Users should have an option to include additional directories besides /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera
A few examples being:
Screenshots directory - /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screenshots
Screen recordings directory - /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screen Recordings
Legacy camera directory - /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/100ANDROMy examples are from an Android perspective, but I'm sure iPhone users would benefit from this option as well.

Add synced computers tab on iOS
However when I open the iOS app I only see the existing My Files. On my windows computer I've synced, this is nowhere to be found. I don't want to reupload my already synced files into the My Files directory.

Support local encryption at rest
Support storing Windows (and Mac when the time comes) files downloaded from Drive encrypted on the local disk. Then, support a virtual drive that presents the files as decrypted. Two examples with good user experiences are:
- Boxcryptor, which optionally supports folder and file name obfuscation.
- Cryptomator, which always forces folder and file name obfuscation.
I personally prefer the former, but either one will be helpful.

Implement interface which permits accessing Proton Drive as network share
As a Linux user I’m using duplicity/deja-dup for my local backups. This backup application also supports several protocols to access remote locations, such as ftp/ftps, nfs, ssh, sftp.
In order to make use of Proton Drive storage in this context it would be necessary to access Proton Drive via some of these protocols which would be of great benefit since then incremental backups would be possible.
Currently I can only make a local snapshot backup and then transfer the generated files as a whole bunch which takes considerable transmission time.21 votes -

Folder info (size, stats)
In details I'd like to see the number of files and folders inside a chosen folder and it's total size.
It'd be also cool to be able to see details for a number of selected folders combined, so I could check the info for a few folders placed next to each other.295 votes -
"Mimic Dropbox"
Like many, I am used to Dropbox, but I know it is a weak option for online storage. I have Proton Mail, VPN and Drive and like your products. However, I am struggling to get into the habit of using Drive as it feels different from Dropbox. So I am suggesting that, without changing the Drive app, you simply put together a little help file explaining how to create a local folder on a PC or Mac that is fully sync'd across all devices such that a file placed or edited on any device is replicated across all other devices.…

Delay for photo backup
Currently Proton Drive uploads photos/videos as soon as they are taken.
But sometimes you want those deleted immediately. And by the time you delete them from the local gallery, Proton Drive has already started uploading them, meaning you now have to wait until it's uploaded so you can also delete them from Proton Drive.
A delay of maybe 5 minutes before starting the upload would be incredibly helpful in this situation.

Increase files per folder limit beyond 30,000
I might be an edge case, but I regularly use Cryptomator to encrypt my local files. The problem is Cryptomator creates a large number of small files within a single folder. Needless to say, I cannot change the file structure without causing issues with Cryptomator, but I've blasted well beyond the 30,000 file limit. I'm a hair under 60,000 and I have heard of people who have far more files than I do.
This limitation makes Proton Drive significantly less useful as working with the contents of these vaults is my day to day work as I switch between my…

Be able to log in with more than one account at the same time in Proton Drive.
Be able to log in with more than one account at the same time in Proton Drive.
I mean that the program allows you to do that in at least 2 accounts (ideally in more accounts) But to start with 2 would be fine. The fact of being able to work, for example: with the files from your home account and your work account at the same time. And thus be able to work in the same way as it is done now but with the difference of working with these 2 folders at the same time. Since currently you…15 votes
