  1. 4/5Important App, Deserves Even More Refinement

    Encryption of our data at rest is essential for privacy. Proton Drive has a lot of important potential for the broader security-minded community. To add a more seamless UX I would recommend the following: - Allow “sharing” of files, photos, and the Notes App directly to Proton Drive. If I could long press and save a file directly from my browser to Proton Drive, that would offer a more seamless experience. - Allow uploading all attachments in an email to Proton Drive. This should especially be a feature for ProtonMail. - Improve ability to bulk upload iCloud Photos to Proton Drive, or even automatically sync. I understand this is a difficult ask. - Refine the capability of creating whitelisted “groups” to view shared folders. You could add two levels of security by both requiring them to access via their Proton account and then also requiring an admin-set email to read/write. - Improved “out of Proton” sharing of files and folders. ProtonMail on desktop does this effectively. - Bulk imports and exports. - Ability to create “rules” for automatic archiving of documents. If I receive X containing to my ProtonMail email, then save attachment and email to . I have to catalog a lot of travel receipts for work travel, for example. This would help with that. Overall, love that Proton Drive is making headway on this important project and I wish the devs continued success down the stretch.

  2. 3/5Lacks critical search functionality

    There’s a tradeoff you need to accept when switching from something like Google Drive to Proton Drive. Proton Drive has end-to-end encryption, thus Proton can’t read any of your data. Google Drive, for example, grants Google almost limitless access to read your files. For the privacy-minded, Proton Drive is the obvious choice. But encryption introduces major limits on iOS. Most problematically, you cannot search for files. Not even by file name. There is currently no search at all on the Proton Drive iOS app. This is a major deficiency when comparing the app to competing services. Again, this is currently the tradeoff one has to be willing to make in order to gain privacy, but what a massive tradeoff it is. For those of you who have a lot of files and perhaps aren’t disciplined in your folder structures, you will have a very challenging time locating your files while on your mobile device. I implore the team at Proton to develop a solution to this if you want to pull users away from the competition. Search is a table stakes feature that is inexcusably omitted from the product. I so badly want to permanently move off of Google Drive, but I can’t in good conscience do so until there’s a reasonably good way of locating my files on the go.

  3. 1/5Massively disappointing, compared to the rest of the Proton Suite

    I don’t know what it is about this app specifically that the developers just can’t get to work properly, but this app has been a massive letdown since I started using it over a year ago. At the time, I figured it was just needing a patch, which I had come to trust and expect, given my excellent experience with the rest of the Proton suite, but this app specifically performs absolutely abysmally even now, using the latest version, and seemingly hasn’t made any significant progress in terms of performance since I started using it. Everything from just loading into it to tapping on the files tab to simply opening a file I’ve already downloaded (!!!) is sluggish, messy process, and I can’t recommend using this app on mobile to anyone. The desktop version on both Mac and Windows works fine, and like I said, the rest of Proton’s apps on iOS work great, but this app on this platform specifically is a performance nightmare. I’m not using a particularly old device or iOS version either. I’m running the latest version of the app on iOS 18.5 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Please do better Proton, I thoroughly enjoy using these apps, and I hope this app can be brought up to the level of quality and UX that I’ve come to expect from the rest of the apps.

  4. 2/5In a iOS / Mac world, not so good.

    I hear good things on the windows side. But in the iOS / Mac world, ProtonDrive is barely enough to upload files to an app predetermined folder and just leave them there. That is if you can get all your files up in a timely and reliable manner. Email is great, VPN is awesome, drive not so much. And waiting 9 months and not one update, doesn’t help it any. Next update must be huge. Seriously, are there any features coming to Proton drive? Since version 1.10 a whole year ago, all we’re getting is this “The latest version contains bug fixes and performance improvements.” That is one whole year without one single feature added. Edit to add, finally photo backup. And that is all it is. We now have the ability to very, very slowly, upload our pictures, while the app is open and in the foreground. And on WiFi only. 5k in pictures and tonight will be the 3rd night uploading. Oh, and you can’t see the pictures on the Mac folder. Let’s not even talk about the Mac app. Syncing for weeks and files still on the SSD instead of just the cloud as advertised.

  5. 4/5Love most proton products

    I started my phone backup for drive and MY MISTAKE was not seeing how much storage I had because I bought vpn plus and assumed I would have more storage lol but now my 2gb drive is full and while there is a "deselect all" button there is not a "select all" button nor a "undo phone backup" option so now my drive is completely full and I have to manually select each and every photo of the over 1k photos that were uploaded. Love the encrypted stuff and I realize I need to buy the drive plus specifically probably for more storage but the lack of any way to mass delete things in proton products is such a bummer when these kind of user mistakes are made. Edit: went to the desktop site version of drive instead of the app and there you can delete photos by month! Thats cool so im fixing my rating from 3 to 4 stars but Id still like more options for the app as well.

  2. 5/5

    Excellent service, secure, reliable, still feeling some of the UI and actions could be improved to be more intuitive and usable, but they're doing great!

  3. 2/5

    Photo upload is super bad! I want to see my photos as files in folders! Not as some abstract objects. Why did you do this ugly thing? Because of it I can't use camera upload and this is the main purpose of cloud app on my phone. If you won't fix if - I'll move to different provider as my subscription ends.

  5. 3/5

    Scanning utility freezes, just like Google Drive's scanning utility. Maybe this one is using Google's programming framework. Generally, unconfortable and unintuitive
