Upload-Only “File Request” Links for Proton Drive
Hello Proton Team,
I would like to request an upload-only “File Request” feature for Proton Drive, similar to what is offered by Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive.
Current shared folders with “can edit” permissions are useful, but they still allow users to browse folder contents and potentially modify files. For privacy-sensitive workflows, this creates unnecessary exposure and administrative overhead.
A dedicated File Request feature would allow:
- upload-only access
- no browsing or downloading
- no visibility into other uploaded files
- optional password protection
- optional expiration dates
- optional one-time-use links
- per-request isolation and auditing
This would be extremely valuable for:
- healthcare offices
- legal offices
- accountants
- HR departments
- small businesses collecting sensitive customer documents
Example use cases include:
- insurance cards
- IDs
- signed forms
- credentialing documents
- tax records
- intake paperwork
A privacy-focused and encrypted upload-request workflow would fit very naturally within Proton’s ecosystem and would help businesses avoid relying on less private third-party services.
Thank you for considering this feature.
