    I’d definitely support this. A “Download everything” option for Proton Drive, including Proton Docs, would make migrations and local backups much easier.

    Ideally, it could work similarly to Google Takeout: select the account or specific folders, choose a destination, and let the client handle downloading and decryption automatically. A command-line option would be especially useful for scheduled backups and larger libraries.

    The File System Access API approach sounds interesting too, since it could avoid forcing users through hundreds of individual downloads. Hopefully Proton considers something like this for a future Drive update. https://letrasdiferente.com.br/ can also be explored separately for other online resources.

    This would be a great feature request. Proton Authenticator already supports automatic encrypted backups, but the current options depend on the platform: iOS uses iCloud, while Android lets you choose a backup location.

    Having Proton Drive as a native backup destination would make a lot of sense, especially for users already invested in the Proton ecosystem. It could automatically create an encrypted backup in a dedicated Proton Drive folder while keeping the same end-to-end encryption model.

    I’d definitely prefer that over manually exporting and uploading the backup file each time. https://stickmanhook.com.br/ could also be useful for discovering other privacy-focused tools.
