An error occurred while saving the comment From a user perspective, it is currently very difficult or no longer possible to use third‑party tools or automations to upload files directly into Proton Drive. I see that there is now an SDK available on GitHub, but at the moment it still feels very limited and not yet reliable or easy enough to use for everyday automation.
The main problem is the lack of a simple, stable way to programmatically upload files to Proton Drive. This makes it hard to replace other storage providers (MinIO/S3/Wasabi/etc.) with Proton in automated workflows such as:
“Scan to cloud” from a printer or scanner (e.g., Scan → directly to Proton Drive, instead of to S3 or another third party).
Small scripts or tools that regularly send files to Proton for safekeeping.
Workflow tools such as n8n, which could create or process something and then send the result straight to Proton Drive.
Server‑side automation like:
Scan to NFS → script uploads to Proton Drive
Database dumps / backups from servers → script uploads directly to Proton Drive
Fully digital/paperless household setups where everything from everywhere (documents, scans, exports, logs) is automatically funneled into Proton Drive as the central, secure storage.
SuggestionProvide a documented, stable upload API (or significantly expand and stabilize the existing SDK) that:
Allows authenticated clients to upload files/folders to Proton Drive programmatically.
Handles the complex parts (encryption, key handling, etc.) so that users only need to integrate a simple library or CLI tool.
Ideally offer:
Official client libraries or SDKs in common languages (e.g., JS/TS, Python, Go, etc.), or
A secure CLI tool that can be used in scripts, Cron jobs, CI pipelines, home servers, and NAS devices.
This would allow users to send data directly to Proton’s secure storage without intermediate devices or untrusted third‑party services, which is exactly what many privacy‑conscious users are looking for. -

As mentioned in the previous update on this feature, it is now being edited to be a request for slides.
Please feel free to undo your vote if this is not something you want included in Proton Drive.

Take a look on Synology Photos.
You can have all in one. You can have Albums (virtual folders)
And the best thing, you can have real folders, move photo to a real folder. This moves the photo away from this (all in one) album.
That is the best thing ever.
