Make Photos visible as a top-level folder in My files
This might be a quick functionality win for a relatively small amount of coding...
From an Android perspective...
(a) Make the photos (files) created and managed by the "Photos" section of Drive visible as a special top level sub-folder of the "My Files" area.
(b) In the "My Files" view enable copying/moving between "Photos" and "My Files".
This keeps these actions in the cloud and allows photos uploaded to Drive "My Files" as files (ie, on android, "shared" with Drive from another app), to be later moved to "Photos". No time take downloading, uploading etc.

Access photo as any other directory of the Drive
Photos and usual Drive seems to be orthogonal, it would be awesome to be able to have the Photos as any other directory in the Drive.
So far, I have my automatic backup of photos from the phone that lands in the Photos part and my legacy photos that are well organized altogether in a directory on my Drive. It would be great to have everything accessible as a directory.

Reconnect desktop app to existing folder
Hi,
I wanted to pull an offline backup for my and my wives Drive.
I synced my folder to an external drive, switched users in the app to my wife, synced to external drive and then...
I couldn't switch back to the big online folder of my account, because you can only switch to an empty folder. So I had to download everything in my account again.
And the next time I want to pull a backup on my wives account I'm back to the problem.
I created a second Windows account for her now and never switch users in…8 votes -
Allow creating folder-pairs to sync
Allow us to define folder-pairs such that user can select one folder in the local device to pair with a folder on the cloud storage and sync the two, either unidirectionally, or bidirectionally.
This will allow users great flexibility in defining what folders/files they want to sync across their various machines.
Examples of where this has been done effectively: OneSync app on Android, DropSync app on Android.

Make Proton Drive folder a 'proper' folder on Mac
I was trying to work out whether the files in my Proton Drive folder were being backed up to my cloud-based Backblaze backup. Trying to find out where Proton Drive files are actually stored on Mac was a bit of a nightmare. I was unable to clearly see whether these files were included in my backup because they're effectively hidden deep within the user Library. This obfuscation means that I don't trust Proton Drive to hold my files because I can't easily locate and access them, which can be a critical task when setting up things like a cloud …

Mount Proton Drive as a Virtual Disk / File System Integration for Windows
I am a Proton Plus subscriber, and as a paying customer I expect a user experience and level of integration similar to what most competing cloud storage services already provide regarding backup and file synchronization.
I use Proton Drive not only as a backup tool, but also as a working storage location.
However, there is currently no option to mount Proton Drive as a standard virtual disk on Windows — for example as drive “P:\” in applications that interact directly with the file system.This feature is essential for professional and productivity-focused workflows because it would:
make the entire Drive…

Preserve albums from device
I backup my photos from my phone onto Proton Drive. However, the albums that the photos are in on my phone are not preserved on Proton Drive. Instead, they are just dumped into one place. This, unfortunately, makes the photos pretty much unusable, because they are a nightmare to look through all mixed up.
I already have placed my photos into sensible albums on my phone. I should not have to redo that on Proton Drive. Without this feature, I have to use another service for photo backups.

Create dedicated photo app
I know that the current plan is to fully integrate the photos feature into the Proton Drive app.
However, I think it would be more logical to have a dedicated app for photos and one for documents in general. With combined apps, I fear that the app either gets overloaded or features will be missing because it would get too crowded otherwise. The photos app also needs wayy better performance than the current app (at least on android, the photos feature is very slow and misses a lot of crucial features, like face detection, editing or a map to…470 votes -
Allow external apps to connect to Proton Drive for things like backups
It would be nice to be able to, on third-party apps, use Proton Drive for things like backups, if the app supports it, but in a secure way.
The way it could work is that supported apps could have a "Connect to Proton Drive" button, and then you would be redirected to Proton to login and connect.
BUT, instead of giving apps access to all your Drive, each app would have its own folder, that the user can explore and edit if needed (with a new External apps menu in Drive, next to My Files, Computers, and Photos etc),…

Granular backups
we need ability to ignore files by type, name, or if they're in a specific directory that can be matched by name or some kind of regex. it is really annoying that some games have shader caches in Documents folder and it keeps backing these up- filling my trash can with a Terabyte of poo that I have to clean to recover my space.

Photos section - let us choose what types of files will be backed up
When some photos in my iPhone gallery has been for example color corrected or copped the backup tends to include unmodified original as well as modified version and it is quite annoying when I’m interested to have only modified version, if you would give us some settings menu with checkboxes where we can choose if unmodified originals should be backed up it would be nice, and there is room for more settings like live photos or maybe someone would want to exclude screenshots or videos,..and cool setting might be to backup only photos older than XY days because I tend…

Folder slider view and browsing improvements in Android app
When browsing multiple files in a folder, I don't see the slider on the right and I don't know how much space is left. Also, when I open a file and then return, I often end up not where I left off. Please fix this, as it's very annoying.

Migrate From Ente
I’m currently using Ente until the Proton photo backup feature matures a bit more (and has additional tools like being able to sync deletion of a photo from the Drive with deletion from my device). At that point, I’d like to be able to easily migrate my photos from Ente Photos to Proton Photos.

Bookmarks on phones
Proton should add the ability to bookmark specific folders on Android and iOS devices, similar to the Quick Access feature on Windows. This would allow users to navigate to folders faster and jump between them with ease.

Add Photos tab to proton Drive sync
Proton Drive only syncs files in the "My files" tab. I want to be able to sync the the files in the "Photos" tab to my computer, so that I can organize and edit my photos with the applications of choice on my computer, and sync them back to the Proton drive cloud, using it as a backup and for image viewing. I think this could be an alternative to making the web version of Proton Drive to a complete photo editing tool.

Quick actions for photo view
When I view a photo inside the Proton Drive gallery, I want to have the icons for sharing, liking (add to favorites) and trash can (move photo to trash) at the bottom of the picture for quick access.
