1. Proton as the one integrated app to rule them all.

   Hello friend,

   I've been using Proton services for almost a year now with little to no complaints and I'm sitting here in disbelief that there still isn't a way to integrate Proton Drive to connect and backup Mac folders easily.

   I wish to exclusively use Proton for my startup, and here are some ideas I had throughout last year.

   Before I begin, I want to add that I HATE Google Drive and Gmail with all its oddly vanilla but at the same time awkward features (Gdrive is a complete mess when working with large groups of people and files, it also lacks privacy. And Gmail constantly ruins my life and makes me seem amateurish with its random text changes and autoformats which have no turn-off button).

   Now, here are some issues Proton currently has:

   • As far as I understand, the files, when trying to upload in bulk, are failing due to different folder names and file formats which proton drive oddly doesn't support. These types of issues are mostly on Mac at the moment.

   • There needs to be a Proton app that is downloadable that kind of functions as a much better Mega app. This needs to be working on Windows, Mac & Iphone/Android etc. as well as connected seamlessly through one account regardless of platform.

   • Proton Drive needs to easily connect different folders through different computers, this is especially necessary for digital-based businesses. This could be a challenge, but if it worked I don't see why it couldn't charge extra for storage space and seamless integration for large businesses that need the backup space.

   Proton has it almost figured out, and I wish I could transfer everything to it completely for the tech needs of our startup.

   I believe that the mail and calendar are good enough as they are, but the drive still needs some more work. I just want it to be a secure place where I can upload everything easily. And please make it so that we can name the folders whatever we want.

   If Proton could stand for true Privacy + Customization + Digital Freedom, it would be the best in the world.

2. 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)

3. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 deletions (or do not do so)

   This would make it safer and easier to restore files which are deleted locally (by accident...)

   As a good synchronisation example have a look at the synchronization possibilities of the Windows program "GoodSync".

   There is no functionality like being able to share files, etc. These functions are in the web and Android version. Please add to Windows app.

9. 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.

10. Allow swiping between pictures so it is easier to browse

    Within a folder or album of pictures, instead of having to tap each picture and then pressing done to move to next photo, allow a user to swipe left or right to be able to see the next photo.

12. 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.

14. 2023 - No one Uploads files through a website

    I don't know who is the head of "bringing new products" to Proton, but in my opinion he/she needs to be fired ...

    Now days, whenever someone is working on a PC or MAC, they have a sync cloud folder, into which they drop their files ...
    MacOS is even capable of deleting the file when necessary (out of space), but keeps it visible to user so, just by clicking on it, the file gets downloaded again ...

    Proton Calendar - unusable
    Proton Drive - unusable
    Proton Mail - No dedicated Desktop App, only bridges

    Proton has so much potential ... what a waste !

17. 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 MUST uncheck "Remove Proton Drive settings and previously remembered credentials".

    If you leave at the default and remove previous settings and credentials the replacement app installation is unaware of any previous data synced, another version of the PC is initialized in the cloud and its starts uploading all of the data again. You end up two copies of the data in the cloud. Each independent copy with their own set of versions.

    ---

    Removal of folder from the synced list is too simple. A single yes/no box to confirm is not adequate protection because the folder is instantly deleted from the cloud

    The user should be more challenged, cause they could lose a lot a single push of a button. Suggest they should verify by typing the name of the folder they wish to delete in the yes/no box or the first yes/no box is followed by another - "Do you really want to do this?"

18. Register Proton Drive mobile app to open local PDF files

    The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

19. Self-Destructing Files

    Self-Destructing Files: I believe there is an opportunity to enhance file security by implementing self-destructing functionality for shared files and files in the deleted files folder. Currently, shared files do not have The ability to self-destruct, and files in the deleted files folder remain indefinitely until manually deleted. Adding a self-destruct timer for both shared files and files in the deleted files folder would provide users with greater control over data privacy and eliminate the need for manual deletion.

20. Option to ignore sync issues in specific folders

    ProtonDrive displays a bunch of sync issues for file locks which may be unessential to sync immediately. This presents a problem for when actual sync issues show up which may go unnoticed. There should be an option to disable sync issues for specific folders, as well as a section to display "ignored" sync issues.

    In my case, I have ProtonDrive to sync my Thunderbird profiles. Thunderbird constantly uses these files, so there is a file lock on many of them and ProtonDrive is unable to sync. This is expected functionality however, and the files will sync once Thunderbird is closed. I do not wish to ignore all the sync issues since they may show real problems, but I do not care about the problems with file locks.
