I support this emphatically!
At the very least, we need to be able to pick which e-mail alias owns individual folders, if not individual files.
Proton Team, please consider:
1. For most of us, our Proton Drive was created under our primary username, and MANY of us follow the practice of not revealing that username to anyone. This puts us between a rock and a hard place when wanting to share things from Drive.
2. The whole point of multiple e-mail aliases is to separate different aspects of your life. If you're sharing something with a business colleague, you might not want him to know your personal alias, or vice-versa. And for the other guy, seeing files shared by an e-mail address that he's never seen before is confusing.
Number 2 is the reason why a request to Support to wipe your Drive and re-create it using a different alias doesn't actually solve the problem. It still boils down to one particular e-mail address that has to be revealed to absolutely everyone you share anything with, even if that isn't the one that you want them to know or use!

The tier restructuring that I'd really like to see is a Lumo discount for paid Proton users -- making it cheaper as an "addon" than as a standalone product.
Right now Lumo costs just as much as a Proton Unlimited subscription! I see value in Lumo, but not so much as to entice an existing customer to DOUBLE his monthly bill for an AI assistant.
Lumo Plus does advertise "access to advanced AI models" as a distinguishing feature. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to try them out and see what value they add before buying. If they are truly stellar, perhaps the OP's suggestion of giving free users a taste of what they can do would help increase sales.

Proton needs to embrace Flatpak in general.
Having to manually download and install DEB and RPM packages for software that should be a one-click install and then automatically update itself is unnecessarily inconvenient. It's enough of a deterrent to make me avoid the apps and just stick with a web browser on Linux.

Official VERIFIED Flatpaks should happen ASAP for Proton Pass and Proton Authenticator.
The average user who has just switched to a Linux desktop is going to rely entirely on his distribution's app centre to find and install software, not start manually updating DEB or RPM packages.
These products are NOT going to be able to compete for his attention as standalone apps unless they are one-click installs and update automatically. Even as a more experienced user, I also want those conveniences. Flatpak provides both of those things on a wide variety of distributions.
Right now the UNVERIFIED warnings for Proton Pass on Flathub instill avoidance rather than confidence in something as sensitive as a password manager.

Publishing a VERIFIED FLATPAK is the way to go for:
- Wider distribution support.
- Automatic updates.
- Easy one-click install.The competition (Ente Auth) has long since been on Flathub, and Proton Authenticator needs to be there too if it wants to catch up and compete for the average user who has just switched to a Linux desktop and relies solely upon his distribution's app store to find and install software.

Perhaps the status of this suggestion should be updated to "STARTED".
On Lumo for Web today I noticed the front page prominently stating right below the chat box "Whatever you ask me is: Treated with respect - Our conversations are never used for training."

I'm sure there's a story behind why you can't pet the cat -- but I'll bet it's a long tail.

The status of this idea should probably be changed to PLANNED.
The help document at https://proton.me/support/drive-album-share-manage says:
"*At the moment, you can only share albums with other Proton users. Public link sharing is coming soon."

1. Click checkbox on the first photo to select it.
2. Scroll ALL the way to the bottom.
3. Hold SHIFT while clicking the checkbox on the last photo.This selects all photos, in the same manner as you would use the shift key in File Explorer.

Right now, previewing photos in Proton Drive is like watching paint dry!
Waiting for each one to load while browsing through them with the arrow keys gets extremely frustrating by the 3rd or 4th photo.
Beginning to preload the next photo while viewing the current one, as suggested by the OP, is one potential way of speeding things up.

Being able to recognise persons in photos would be a cool feature.
It would probably require some sort of client-side, on-device AI, since Proton themselves cannot see -- and therefore cannot scan -- the photos.

In FREE and PLUS plans you are LOGGED IN to Lumo using your Proton account, and chats are saved in your history -- UNLESS you chat in "Ghost Mode".
The OTHER mode is GUEST mode, which means you are not logged in to Lumo at all. In that mode, chats are never saved because there's no associated account to save them in.

Not having Drive for Linux is a gaping hole in the current Proton ecosystem.
However, the recent announcement that Proton is building a Drive SDK is promising.
Please at least focus on getting the API released ASAP, so that others can write their own solutions to interface with Drive in an officially supported manner.

This should probably be moved to PLANNED or STARTED status (as appropriate), since it was announced in the November 2024 roadmap that Proton is building a Drive SDK.
Presently I'm giving this a "Critical" vote, due to the complete lack of a Drive app for Linux.

I agree there is far too much whitespace between folders/labels in the left-hand column in Compact view.
This should be reduced in the EXISTING Compact setting (regardless of whether a 3rd view is added as the OP suggests), because at present the label/folder spacing in the Compact view is exactly the same as in Comfortable!

There is far too much whitespace between FOLDERS AND LABELS in the "Compact" view!
At present, the density of the list of folders and labels in "Compact" is exactly the same as it is in "Comfortable".
This seems like a design oversight, and also means that far too few folders or labels can be created before it becomes necessary to vertically scroll the leftmost column.
Switching to "Compact" should reduce the row height of folders and labels, not just e-mails. One can assume that if someone is switching to compact mode because he has many e-mails, then it is likely that he also has many folders and labels.

I don't mind a more spartan interface, but Profiles and Split Tunnelling are definite omissions of functionality in the present Linux app.

I commented previously about why this feature is CRITICAL, but I've been thinking further about the best way to implement it.
I propose that there should be an alias picker at the top of the left-hand column above the "NEW" button.
When you select an alias, you see all of the files/folders that belong to THAT alias.
It's simple, straightforward, and removes any concerns or confusion about which e-mail address will show up when you share something.
It would ALSO add great flexibility to user file organisation -- because the files that pertain to my-work@proton.me get compartmentalised separately from the files that pertain to my-personal@proton.me.
Furthermore, this COULD apply to the Photos section as well, to achieve similar compartmentalisation. The Proton Drive smartphone app could ask which alias you want to back up photos to. Thus if you don't want photos from multiple devices jumbled all together in the same reel, you could have the photos from your personal phone backing up to my-personal@proton.me and the photos from your work phone backing up to my-work@proton.me.
Proton Team, please consider!
