  1. Replace files in the 'sync queue' with the newer states

    While working on a file, when you save it, proton drive immediately syncs it, locking any future changes from the file. If you want to save the file (locally) again, you have to wait until the its previous save state is uploaded. I think this could be fixed by replacing files in the 'sync queue' with the newer states in the case that the file is updated.

  2. Ability to duplicate a file within Proton Drive

    There is no way currently to duplicate a file or folder in Proton Drive. If a user wants to have the same file in multiple folders, or create a duplicate folder with slight modifications to contents, everythign must be done offline and re-uploaded to Proton Drive (ex. re-upload the file to every folder you wish to place it in, vs. making duplicates within Proton Drive and moving them to the other folders)

  3. Proton Drive to rival Evernote

    Have Proton Drive be everything Evernote is and more. It should also allow the ability to migrate from Evernote into Proton Drive.

  4. Photos Widget

    Self-explanatory title. Photos saved as "favorites" will appear in the widget (android and iOS).

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  8. Nextcloud style Photos backup configuration (Configure source & destination, year, etc)

    I really like the Nextcloud photo sync feature, it allows for configuring any source folder on the phone and defining what the destination folder should be. This means that the pictures are automatically organized by source location on my backup repo.

    Furthermore, it has the feature to allow for creation year drilldown, meaning it will create the Year/Month folders automatically within the destination that I chose in the repo. It would be cool to see some enhancements along those lines. Thanks for all the great work!

  9. Select a Folder With Photos/Videos Currently In Proton Drive And Have Them Transferred Over To Photos And Remove Duplicates

    I have used Proton Drive to backup a lot of Photos. Google Photos also has a lot of my photos which I am trying to get away from. It would be nice to be able to transfer photos that I have in Proton drive over to Photos by selecting the exact folder to be transferred and have the option to remove it from the drive portion, It would also be great if it could recognize duplicate photos and suggest ways to clean up space in photos. The remove duplicates feature would allow me to move entirely away from Google Photos.

  10. I am wanting to know what Proton's plans are if the EU goes through with plans to make Proton scan files before encrypting them.

    I use Proton because of the strong privacy laws in the countries where Proton has servers. I know that the first step the EU is discussing is making Proton scan files before saving them for child pornography. But we all know once they have that they will have you scanning files for anything they find objectionable. Will Proton move its servers to a secure country if that law passes?

  11. Possibilità di cambiare lingua

    Salve, da quando è nato Proton Drive ho scritto già un paio di volte di sviluppare la possibilità di cambiare lingua ma sfortunatamente non è avvenuto.
    A differenza di Proton Pass, che è arrivato da pochi mesi, l'aggiornamento è avvenuto rapidamente.
    Spero possiate sviluppare questa possibilità visto che Proton Drive è stato lanciato da più di un anno e la lingua è rimasta sempre quella. Saluti

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. Being able to identify and delete the largest files

    With Google, there is a page that will help you to understand what service (Drive, Mail, Photos, et cetera) are consuming what % (or amount of GB) of the total diskspace available in your plan.

    As second step it would be very useful to be able to filter on file-sizes over all sources (Mail, Drive, Photo) and being able to delete the selected files to free up space efficiently and have regular housekeeping.

  17. Support ReFS and Storage Spaces for Windows

    I recently received Beta access to Proton Drive. However, it is mostly unusable to me as I cannot have my sync folder on my Storage Spaces drive that uses ReFS.

    Boot drive with NTFS works properly.

  18. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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…
