Proton Photos
basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.
As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.
Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

It would be awesome to have a FAMILY sharing and uploading, as my children's photos can be uploaded into the family plan photos but under their own individual albums for backup, similar to Amazon photos. I would rather pay for the privacy of Proton photos and ensure my children's photos are private! I would also like the capability to create albums within our overarching family plan (i.e., 2023 vacation, etc.) and have the means of adding any family member's photos that are shared to that album.

Can you just buy ente.io and implement their UI/UX? It looks so good but they are a relatively young / new company based in India with bad privacy laws.

A cool way to improve it would be to use or do a cooperation with ente.io as the frontend but storing the photos in proton drive

Thats will be INSANE if we can have a Proton Drive ( for PDF and diverses files ) and a Proton Photos, exactly like google. IDC if its seems like google i wanna privacy and will pay for it lol

If collaborated with storj.io decentralized storage at scale will help proton photos scale well.

It is supposed to be in progress already. I bet you'll get +10k new users once you have a photos app.

When is this coming to iOS?? I cannot stress enough how important it is for me (and I’m sure a lot of people) to get rid of Google Photos, or Google anything for that matter, once and for all. I’m tired of feeling like they have access to my whole life through my photos but currently this is the only way I can share anything with family overseas. Once this feature rolls out I’m bringing all my family over to Proton. Get on it, guys!!

I need family shared folders for this to work. The current “sharing” implementation is useless for families. I need actual shared folders to backup photos to.

"Maybe we can pay a monthly fee"... you don't?

Guys do you realize in your wishful thinking that we will never get proton apps like photos, contacts, calendar integrated within our mobiles like Google or Microsoft simply because they have exclusivity in Android API integration like Samsung with Microsoft. And that's because till now there is no other third-party company ever did this photos synchronization app with functionalities like OneDrive on Samsung phones and unfortunately probably the same will be with contacts.

Proton Photos app separately is needed. +1

I would like to be able to automatically share my photos with family, like I do on Google Photos.
I also need the ability to do some basic editing like I can with Google Photos.

Can we get the same feature but for any folder we decide to sync?

JuBu commented
It would be great to have the same edit features for the pictures as Google Photos (crop, ajust luminosity, contrast, etc)

A client similar to Google Photo but made by Proton

Now that photo sync is implemented, it would be great to be able to choose which albums from my gallery I want to sync.

The most important features for me are face recognition, a nice handling of geolocation (presenting it on a map) and a migration tool from Google Photos. ente.io makes a great impression how and that all these great features can be done securely. I will wait a couple of months if Proton manages to bring up an alternative solution. I would be glad not to migrate twice.

I'm so glad this has been made available as I'm switching to Proton from Google and this will help the transition. Two requests: Can there be an option to also backup RAW images? It looks like it just syncs the jpgs currently. Also, would there be way to link to a google account and import all the photos already uploaded and stored there to help with the transition?

The automatic camera backup portion of this feature was just completed.

I care alot about privacy, but my wife loves google photos. Convincing her to use proton for everything would need this feature.
