  1. Proton Drive should preserve file/folder created & modified timestamps on download

    Proton Drive is currently not preserving the created and modified timestamps of files and folders when downloaded back onto a device (at least not using the Windows client). The timestamps are indeed correctly stored on the server when viewing the items using the web interface. This is already a feature of OneDrive and is important for some users who rely on documents having accurate timestamped objects.

  2. SHARED FOLDERS : Subfolders and contents need download counters and a share indicators.

    If you share a folder only the folder pointed to by the URL link records if it is shared and how many downloads have occurred using that link.

    Within the shared folder the "details" menu option of each subfolder and file indicate they are not shared and doesn't record if they have been downloaded.

    All shared objects need to indicate they are being shared and how many downloads have occurred. Currently the management of shared objects is very limited if you don't have this information.

  3. Release a visionary plan for black friday.

    For those of us who initially missed out, it would be nice to have an option for visionary. Even if it is more expensive than the original, this would be a nice way to have a symbiotic relationship with Proton and also potentially drum up sales for Proton.

  4. Dedicated file / folder share option for Windows Explorer and Kubuntu Dolphin

    Currently it looks like the only way to share a file or folder is through the web app and only when copying a file link. Can we have a dedicated file/folder share option as an integrated option in our native browsers - Explorer for Windows or Dolphin in Kubuntu?

  6. Shared folders: Navigate folders or gallery preview for photos/files

    After sharing a folder (thanks for adding the ability to share a folder!), give the ability to navigate the folder tree to individual files. Then for photos or any file that can be previewed, give the option to preview the file. Think the Preview app in OSX, it works really well.

    I use the ability to share a folder to give access to photos of my kids to their grandparents and family members. Switching from Sync, Sync offers the folder navigation feature I described above, but what would set Proton Drive apart even more would be a "Photo Album" viewer. …

  7. 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.

  8. Syncing between devices: support junctions in "My files" folder

    In this folder "C:\Users\WINUSER\Proton Drive\PROTONUSER\My files" that gets created by Proton Drive, a user should be able to include one or more Windows junctions (which point to folders elsewhere on the drive).

    This would allow a user to set up a junction pointing to the same arbitrary folder XYZ on two or more computers, which would keep the contents synced between those computers and the Proton Drive.

    (I have two computers on which I want to keep data in sync.)

  9. Do not download "other computers" files by default

    During a second installation of ProtonDrive software on a laptop, I had to re-download dozens of gigabytes from the first desktop PC.

    I wish this could have been deactivated, I would have just retrieved a file or two from the web interface if necessary.

  11. shared folder notifications of file upload

    It would be great if it was possible to have a customizable notification email sent to designated addresses when a file gets uploaded to a shared folder, both between proton users and external users.

    The same for if people have a drop folder, that the owner user would receive a notification of that activity.

    This is especially useful for business activity where for a time you may have to share files securely and in real time. For example: if you are in legal proceedings and need to supply documents to your lawyer on a regular basis, you can do so…

  12. Windows app: give same options as in web and Android to share files, etc

    Currently the desktop Windows app only lists what is on Proton Drive
    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.

  13. Viewing Options

    It would be nice to have three folder viewing options (list, thumbnail, large thumbnail). Every view should be independently selectable in each hierarchy level p.ex.:

    Main Folder list view
    Subfolder small thumbnails
    Subfolder content large thumbnails

    If 'list view' is now chosen in one of the hierarchy levels, it automatically applies to all the other levels. The shared folder view is always shown in 'list view' for the recipient. It would be easy, if the chosen view would automatically apply to the shared folder view too (or elegant, if a choice option for the recipient could be offered to change…

  14. 1 click to get back to root level of Proton Drive on iOS

    When navigating in Proton Drive in iOS, sometimes I just want to go right back to the top(root) level of the drive and have to keep clicking on the back arrow to navigate up to the root.

    Would be really nice if I could just click on the 'folder' icon on the bottom toolbar to bring me right back to the top level and use the back arrow for going up one level at a time.

    An alternative UI would be to click and hold on the back arrow to go to the top level but this might be less…

  15. Navigate by path

    I would like to be able to navigate by a known path.

    Right now, I have to manually click down each node of the path to get to my destination folder. Folders with many files/folders take some time to populate to be able to click on. If I know my path, I'd like to be able to enter the folder path to skip navigating each node on the path.

  16. Missing file replacement dialog in proton drive app

    Proton Drive Android App is missing the file replacement dialog. Whenever we try to upload a same file in a folder, the app just renames it to <filename>_(1).<extension>, which is super annoying. I need to delete the old file and then upload new. This is not an issue in web client (even on android browser).

  17. Distinguish between uploaded files and local files

    To somehow be able to distinguish between files that have been uploaded and which have not, so that I can delete them locally.
    For instance, sometimes some uploads fail and it is hard to tell which ones and re upload them

  18. Add(/download) whole Folder

  20. 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.
