We have given this quite a bit of thought, but at the present moment, it is not clear the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.
The biggest problem is search. Encrypting all metadata would break metadata search entirely on the web client as there is still no efficient way to handle search of encrypted data within a browser.
Secondly, metadata encryption’s value from a privacy standpoint is also somewhat dubious. Because we ultimately must deliver the message to the recipient, we must know who the recipient is. At the current time, there still isn’t any proven and viable way to work around this.
Metadata encryption is an area of continued research for us, and when the opportunity arises and the technology for doing this matures, we will definitely implement it in ProtonMail.

I would much rather have ProtonMail store the data than have it stored on a 3rd party cloud service, even if that data is encrypted. With the US government's PRISM program, all files you upload to services like Google Drive or Dropbox are accessible by the FBI and NSA in real time. Also, the cost of storage space for ProtonMail likely isn't as high as you might think; most likely it's everything else like employees, hardware, and facilities that are ProtonMail's main costs. It's unlikely that storage is so extremely scarce that ProtonMail would have to integrate with 3rd party cloud providers just for storing attachments.
Ultimately, nobody should be required to sign up for a Google Drive or Dropbox account in order to send/receive email attachments in ProtonMail. Also, if you need more storage in ProtonMail, paid accounts are now available; they're not that expensive and the money supports a worthy cause.
