File Integration between Mail and Drive ( Attach / save )
It would be amazing to be able to do the following:
- Attach files to Proton Mail directly from Proton Drive (as link or as file)
- Save files from emails to Proton Drive
- Mass save attachments to Proto Drive

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.

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!

Would love the ability to select, embed, and send Proton Drive file links directly from Proton Mail. Also to save attachments directly into Drive

Improve the integration between ProtonMail and Proton Drive, enabling users to send files stored in Proton Drive as email attachments.

When I add a file larger that 25mb in Proton Mail it just says 'na sorry' it should say it cant attached a file over 25mb, upload to Proton Drive and generate a link for the email.
Seemless and automatic. All the user should do is press yes and carry on typing. I keep getting drawn back to having top use GDrive due to less time it takes -

I would love to create a photo app that gives control back to the person. It would protect people's privacy through blockchain and encryption but also has plan B if privacy was breached for any reason. For example, i gave some nudes to my ex after breaking up with him he shared them to get back at me. In this idea of mine, users have the power to delete their photos from the entire digital world. It is also going to be very popular with parents who understand the dangers lurking in these unstable times with the current devices. We need to make this mainstream and mandatory. I have even named this app MYNE

It would be good if we could have a 'proton workspace' where we have an encrypted notepad 'Proton Pad'. Notes need to be protected as much as possible. I'd certainly invest in an encrypted Notepad app. Easy sell.
