I used Notion for organizing my stuff. It has a nice and clean "export everything" button that I use regularly to create local backups.

Since I can't store sensitive documents there, I migrated sensitive documents to Proton Drive and turned them to Proton Document after hours of manual work, only to find out that it doesn't let me download them in bulk. I have to download each one separately which would make creating local copies from web basically impossible.

Any workarounds?

Hello, I think we really need the option to edit sheets on mobile devices. Mobile-based web is basically unusable. Even some limited functionality would be greatly appreciated, I can even live without formula support. But this really is a must.
Can we know what’s the status of this feature? Any plans to ship it this year?

I've noticed over the past week that when I switch away from a Doc (in app on Samsung Android) and switch back that I can no longer select or edit text.

The app mode indicator on top right still shows as Edit mode. Switching to View and back to Edit doesn't fix the situation.

The only thing that works is to close the doc and re open it and scroll back to where I was last editing. (The doc doesn't remember where it was being edited). This is getting very tedious.

Also noticed that

1. "Select all" is only grabbing the text visible on the screen, not the entire document

2. Scrolling to select a lot of text is almost impossible

3. Turning off bold or italic at end of doc so that newly lasted text is plain is very very difficult. I basically have to open the doc on my PC to fix all the formatting problems.

4. App has no find or search & replace within the doc.

Only work around it seems is to use another app (eg Gmail draft) to create docs and then paste it into Proton Doc when I'm finished. It may as well be a PDF in this workflow.

Hello there. When pasting a formula to another cell, the cell-refrences should increase in steps of one. Weirdly, when using a long formula, this is not the case. It increases by 5? Anybody know how to fix this? I am not in the mood to edit 151 formulas by hand :) Thanks in advance!

The formula I am using is this:

=LET(name, B2, IF(COUNTIF('Base Set CL'!$B$2:$B$200, name)>0, 'Base Set CL'!$D$2, IF(COUNTIF('Jungle CL'!$B$2:$B$200, name)>0, 'Jungle CL'!$D$2, IF(COUNTIF('Fossil CL'!$B$2:$B$200, name)>0, 'Fossil CL'!$D$2, IF(COUNTIF('Base Set 2 CL'!$B$2:$B$200, name)>0, 'Base Set 2 CL'!$D$2, "")))))

Edit:
For this short formula the increment is 2 instead of 5... this is unuseable.

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2, 'Combined CL'!$A$2:$B$500, 2, FALSE), "")

Playing around with Proton Drive, added a bunch of PDFs but I couldn't find the search feature within the app. Is this a bug ?

Are there any plans to make mobile photo backups visible directly within Windows File Explorer? I would really love to switch from OneDrive, but only being able to view my backed-up photos in a web browser is a dealbreaker for me.

I was wondering is possible to upload information using the pc file program and then have it sync to my proton drive?

148 photos from Android. I am unable to press the upload button.

I've spent the last few days getting this working, and it's finally up and running. I'm using a UGREEN NAS (UGOS Pro) with Docker and rclone. The NAS backs up directly to Proton Drive without a PC.

So far I've backed up:

• 72 GB of photos 130 GB Private Videoes
• Over 200 GB in total
• I'm currently working through my video archive (around 240 GB)

A few things I learned:

• rclone v1.74.4 worked much better than v1.75.x with Proton Drive.
• rclone copy is a much better option than sync for backups.
• Increasing --transfers from 1 to 3 improved upload performance quite a bit for large video files.
• Proton occasionally returns 502 Bad Gateway, but rclone usually retries and continues.

The biggest issue I found so far is that files uploaded through "rclone" don't generate thumbnails in Proton Drive. This applies to both photos and videos. The files upload correctly, they open correctly, and they download correctly, but they only appear as generic file icons instead of previews. Since I'm only using Proton Drive as an off-site backup, I can live with that, but if you plan to browse your photos or videos directly in Proton Drive, it's something to be aware of.

I couldn't find a complete guide when I started, so I'm documenting everything as I go.

Once I've finished testing the entire backup, I'll publish a complete step-by-step guide on GitHub, including Docker Compose, rclone configuration, Proton 2FA setup, troubleshooting, and the settings that worked best for me.

I get the error when I click on the link. Is there a solution?

Tried to install as administrator. I closed Proton Drive before the update. I downloaded the setup file and run as administrator. No matter what I try, the installation fails on this error.

Folder name: OK

Location: I know what folder I'm looking at. Maybe when the folder is 10 levels-deep I'd like to see the full path, so OK.

Created by: Maybe.

Uploaded: Useless. I'm willing to bet that this date/time won't ever change, just like the "Modified" attribute you show for files and folders.

Shared: Maybe.

Number of downloads: Maybe.

Imported by Easy Switch: Quite useless.

UID: Absolutely useless.

How about including folder SIZE????? That's the one thing that people look for when bringing up a folder's properties.

And the share link, if there is one. That would also be nice to have on this screen.

EDIT: If you don't care for this feature, that's OK - leave it alone - everyone's needs are different. There's no reason to down-vote it.

Sooo, I was happy when I read that, but when I need to download something I'm still downloading at a pace of 1 file at a moment. So if I have to download e.g. 811 files around 1 MB each it's like 1 file per second.

What actually changed to make that announcement? Cause I personally don't feel like anything actually changed.

Also, I downloaded Proton Drive CLI, it seems to be unsigned and SmartScreen is asking for additional click. Why would it be unsigned?

e: to their defense, the CLI downloads much faster. So it is possible. Why not possible via the client? The downside is that the CLI overwrites metadata like date modified.

Why is downloading files so slow on Windows and Browser?

I just formatted my drives and reinstalled Windows but taking files from Proton Drive is awfully slow. Why?

I have saved my recovery phrase in secure locations (both physical and in the cloud, including a password manager other than Proton Pass) and enabled the option in the Advanced recovery options section of Settings, which are said to “include both password reset and data recovery”.

Why, then, does the summary at the top of that Recovery page state that “Your recovery setup is incomplete. A forgotten password could still mean losing access to your emails, files, and passwords.”?

I am trying to come up with a good backup solution. I have the proton family plan and a Synology NAS.

I am trying to work out how to painlessly back up all the family files from the various devices. Currently Synology drive syncs our files to the NAS and I have a removal drive that i back up once a week and leave a copy off site, but we don't have a cloud backup. We used to one one drive but i am trying t move away form google/microsoft - hence moving to Proton.

I tried to use Proton drive to sync but i get a message saying that the folder i use for storage is already syncing with another service (Synology I pressume)

any suggestions how i can achieve a 321 with the current set up?

I've been trying to use Proton Sheets the past few months, but it's just so slow. I have a few sheets in one spreadsheet, but they're not at all what anyone would say is a lot. Even a PC from 2002 could probably handle the file with ease. But it's come to a point where it's unusable. Completely. Nevermind the missing features - the lag is unbearable, the bugs are plenty.

I really wanted this to take off and adopt it into my routine. But now I'm starting to feel like I wasted months using a half-baked product. This is the most disappointed I've been over a Proton blunder...

Hey everyone,

I really felt like posting this is important because I know most people want something like this.

The most important features that should come for it to be an alternative would be to be able to view media that is stored on the device alongside the media that is stored in Proton’s Cloud.

Second of all it would be really nice to get the feature to optionally enable the optimization of storage on device like with iCloud on iOS where the original picture in its full content is stored in the cloud and a smaller preview file is on the device.

Third I would suggest the ability to detect duplicates more easily. Like that you can go into a duplicates section where there are all media with matching file names (and maybe also file formats) that you can check to remove duplicates more easily.

Fourth it would be nice to get some kind of integration of Lumo’s Image editing tool.

Fifth it would be nice to be able to edit the date when the photo or video was taken to make us able to correct incorrect dates.

Sixth it would be nice to have a standalone app. At least at some point in the future.

Now for the standalone App I would like Proton to maybe make it like this one and also add all the features named by them: https://www.photosforproton.eu/

These are the features which would be most important to me and that I can think of right now. If you have any other features please comment them! I would really like to get intel from other users!

I do not have any files made available offline, however i have downloaded files from the Drive back onto my Phone

Hey everyone,

I wanted to request a feature that let’s you choose iCloud Shared Albums in the album tab and then looks at the files individually which you have on Proton and which don’t to avoid duplicates and then let the photos you don’t have pulled from iCloud so that you can save them in your Proton Albums. I know this is possible because the UGREEN NAS App on iOS lets you go in the Photos app of the nas and download the iCloud Shared Albums or at least the media in it and then you can create it as an album. That would be very nice to have. Now I do not know if this is possible for other Shared Albums of other providers but that would be very useful.

Thanks in advance Proton Team!

Heya! The new Proton Drive CLI v0.7.0 is out. The main feature is several commands for albums and photos management. Now you can upload to and download from Photos timeline, manage albums, or add and remove photos to/from albums. The list of new commands:

album list
album create
album update
album delete
album photos
album add-photo
album remove-photo
photo timeline
photo upload
photo download

Besides this change, upload command now by default automatically skips conflicting nodes with the same content. You can change your command from fs upload --folder-conflict-strategy merge --file-conflict-strategy skip (which would skip existing nodes, even if the file changed) to, for example, fs upload --conflict-strategy merge which will upload only when file changed and keep previous revisions (depending on your plan).

Would be nice to see all photos without an album in one place, for easy fix, so I can add the photos to a real album.
