These and similar Mail-Drive attachement integration features should really be thought out well and I hope they're taking their time. It could create more, you don't want the attachements workflow to interfere with the good practices and conveniences and use cases of Drive, other users who don't rely on attchements so much should still have their Drive focused features taken care of.

There's technical questions how exactly this integration would behave, in many ways because it's probably about a wider set of functions in what would be a whole suite of them in this integration package. For one, there should be clear labeling and GUI indications as to what's a normal attachement and what's "duplicated" in Drive, etc. Sufficient amount of customizability of behavior whatever gets implemented. Sorting and folder structure is very important and if you have to go into Drive to fix and move things around then it's not much of a time saver and convenience. Then there's per-recipient address customizability, perhaps down to sender even, so there's a lot to consider in this conglomerate of integration features, I can't even freely recall everything.

Perhaps Proton can take note of methods of filesystem hardlinks where you have one single data section on disk and multiple equivalent references that function as a file and if either exists, the data will exist, so not just soft shortcuts/links.

It could be interesting to automatically "save" display attachements as files in a special folder in Proton Drive, and it shouldn't take up extra cloud space, and it wouldn't be just a link, in case of hardlink mode if you delete either the email with the attachement or the file in protondrive, the other one should remain, unless you either change options to not do hardlinking (just soft) or you choose to permanently delete both/all references.

It's also a question if deleting attachements is a thing, isn't that normally not possible without modifying email authenticity/originality / hashes? Normally you'd either delete the whole email message or nothing.

Only after some good use will it become more visible as to what kind of behavior is preferred, what's missing, what could be different. I wouldn't like a half-solution for the sake of speedy support.

As we integrate Proton more and more into the organization, this becomes an increasing challenge. So I will apple for a quick fix.

When opening attachment in Proton Mail, display an icon to link directly to Proton Drive. At present I have to either download and then upload attachment or navigate through entire device file structure to locate Proton Drive. Gmail provides a link to Google Drive. I find it useful.

Only reason why I stay with Google drive. Make this happening soon.

If this were to be implemented, an API would be brilliant: the ability to integrate other cloud service providers directly. Albeit this is against Proton's interests as a private company but very much aligns with their vision of an open internet.

It would be logical, and entirely in the interests of security, to have the option of saving email attachments directly to the Proton drive of your choice, so that the attachments are not exposed to the Internet or directly readable on the machine that receives them. Confidential attachments often "hang" in the directories of computers using Protonmail. The same space is used elsewhere.
Kind regards

This is already possible. That’s how I always save my mail attachments to proton drive.

I think it would be useful for mail to be able to save directly to drive. It’s a pain to have to save to files from email and then upload to drive. (IOS)

The number of votes for this feature is, in a way, quite worrying at over 3,100. Yes, it would be convenient and all that, but heck, how much does it take to save an attached file to disk and then upload to Drive, or D/L a file from Drive to disk and then attach to email? It's nothing. Why is it people are getting so lazy in everything these days?! Proton's resources surely would be better utilized on other, extant, genuinely important features/apps and ironing out bugs and other issues. Better to have a few, not necessarily fully featured, but (near-as-possible-)perfect apps than a bunch of buggy apps loaded with features that don't work properly and all sorts. Just my 2pence worth.

Thinking this through, and while I never accept that anything is impossible, this would require some major effort! For starters, a major obstacle could be that both Proton Mail and Drive are independently encrypted. Further, this would require some pretty complex inter-app communication. Plus there's the question, how much of a security risk could this potentially be?

All together it seems far more effort and potential risks than it would be worth. Proton's resources and efforts could be used for more important things IMO.

I would like to have an option to save attachments to Proton drive, like in Gmail to Gdrive.

In the web browser version, enable selecting files from Proton Drive to attach them to an Email.

Also, enable saving an attached file from ProtonMail to ProtonDrive by selecting the targetted folder on ProtonDrive.

I don’t know how this can be done in a security conscious way. Proton drive doesn’t know what proton mail has and vice versa.

An option to send attachments on emails directly to Proton Drive, rather than having to download them, and then head to Proton Drive to upload them.

Possibly a menu option under a right-click on the attachment? Or perhaps a button shown in that preview window when clicking on an attachment? - Something like that.

خوب خوب

An add to drive button from my inbox would be very helpful. Basically, if I were to hover over an attachment, a small box would show up in order to add it to my proton drive. This feature could also be added to the preview of files.

It would be great to allow saving attachments from Proton Mail directly to Proton Drive, without having to save them first to the local folder and then upload them - which can present a security when the local machine is not completely trusted.

Thats acciually a great point and idea i agree! thats a good idea!
