    I want to explain why the current Photos implementation makes Proton Drive largely unusable for me.

    When I enable photo sync from my phone, all images are uploaded into the “Photos” section. This creates several fundamental problems:

    - No real folder structure
    Photos are stored in a flat, album-based view instead of a proper directory hierarchy. I cannot maintain a clean, year/month/event-based structure like I can in “My files”.

    - No desktop sync
    Photos uploaded via the Photos feature are not available in the Proton Drive desktop app on Windows. They exist only in the mobile app or web UI. This breaks a core expectation of a drive product: local access.

    - No practical sharing for families
    Photos cannot be used as a shared, collaborative library. For family use, I need a shared folder that multiple users can see, sync, and back up locally. Photos do not support this workflow.

    - Forced manual duplication
    To get photos into a usable state, I have to manually download them from Photos and re-upload them into “My files” — on multiple accounts. This is slow, error-prone, and defeats the purpose of sync entirely.

    Because of this, the Photos feature is not an enhancement but an obstacle. It creates a second, isolated storage system that:
    - cannot be structured properly
    - cannot be synced to desktop
    - cannot be used for shared photo libraries

    For users who want organized folders, sharing, and local access, the Photos feature is effectively useless.

    What is needed is either:
    - the ability to sync Photos into a normal Drive folder, or
    - the ability to disable Photos entirely and sync the camera directly into “My files”.

    Until then, Proton Drive cannot replace even basic photo workflows that other drive solutions handle trivially.
