Good idea, but not very well implemented. I appreciate the security, but the lack of convenience sucks. Auto sync only works with photos, and I don't see a way to sync folders instead of just grouping all images together. I very much would like a way to have separate folders for each device, and maybe even maintain the folder structure, such as albums on device. Then have this same backup feature for files, so I can just have all ny important notes, and documents safe.

ProtonDrive is secure, and I trust Proton for privacy, but it feels too basic compared to OneDrive. Searching, navigating, and viewing files are limited, making it less usable. I expected more, so the lack of features is disappointing, aside that it's really really slow. I mostly use it as extra storage rather than a primary cloud, which is a pity since I wanted a secure alternative. If Proton wants Drive to compete, they need to improve usability and add more features.

Thank you for your feedback! We've introduced an improvement to photos just yesterday. Photos open faster as you’ll see a high-definition thumbnail of your images while it loads in the background. Search is not a straightforward task because all the file names are encrypted, so it is taking us some time to come up with a simple and secure solution.

Nice app overall. I wish that I could sync folders automatically though. For example, my phone's download folder. I wish if I added the download folder to proton drive, that proton drive would automatically upload new downloads when they're downloaded. And delete them if I delete it locally. But how it is right now, it's still a great app and helped me transfer documents to other devices wirelessly as well as back up important documents. Thanks devs 😄
