Proton drive should remove "my computer" feature on PC and have a single default sync folder like MEGA.
When I use mega, I can upload my document on my mobile phone and it immediately gets downloaded on my PC mega folder. Vise versa.
Proton drive should do the same.
The "My computer" folder sync feature on PC is completely useless. Your ios app don't even have the "my computer" folder. It means I cannot access information on my mobile when I upload documents on my PC. You should make a default cloud drive folder like MEGA. Let users drag their documents to that folder, auto sync, and it should be available on all platforms. More user friendly.
Thank you.

Proton Drive could simplify usability by removing the “my computer” feature and adopting a single default sync folder like MEGA. This streamlined approach would enhance user efficiency, much like optimizing system performance through https://pcbottleneckcalculator.net/, where identifying weak points ensures smoother operation and a better overall experience.

So, I've been using Mega as my cloud storage provider for many years. I was waiting until Proton Drive introduced camera uploads to start using. I gave it a shot, and I realized a fundamental problem. The Drive doesn't seem to have "one space" for all my things. There are "My files", then "My computers" and then "Photos".
This makes absolutely no sense to me. In Mega, I have one space and I can select which folders I want to sync to my PC, I can select which folder I want to use for Camera uploads from my phone.
This enables me to have a folder on my PC called "Things I need backed up" and have all in that synced to the cloud. Then I can have a folder called "Photos" which contains a folder for "Camera uploads". This way when I take photos with my phone, they get synced to the cloud and then to my PC as well. And that is just a part of the whole Photos folder, where I keep other photos that didn't come from my phone.
It seems I can't replicate this structure on the Proton drive, which means that at best it will be a secondary cloud storage for me in case something went wrong with Mega.

Hi, I'm not agree, I use My Computer sync for many specifics folder on different SSD, with a single "My file" it can be a problem.
At the beginning My Compter was available on mobile app, I don't know what it disappear. But a simple option for choose folder to sync or re-link folder already sync can be -in my opinion- very us full.
I us My computer sync for archive saving and My files for current working file.
An option for choose what folder or date to force sync/download in local and what can be just online will be more interesting for me.
