Ratings and reviews

Fine app for what it is. However, for my use case it is nearly impossible to navigate the folders. I have files syncing from my windows file explorer and all I want to do is get the share link so I can send a file to my friend. The windows app says it's synced to the cloud drive but does not show up in the browser version of the same folder. Phone app won't even load the folder so that's a non starter. I would not be having this issue if I stuck with Google or OneDrive.

This app feels basic compared to other known cloud storage solutions. It takes 30s to access a folder of 200x 10MB images. Only individual files can be download. There is no apparent option to download a folder, without sharing it, then using the share link via a web browser. No apparent option to view the status of ongoing downloads, just when they complete, if they do. I want to use Proton for more things, but Drive is sadly too lacking right now, to replace less private solutions.

Honestly, this app is a mixed bag at best. There's no search, downloading in bulk (or large downloads) does not work, offline access barely functions, and mobile photo viewing and uploading takes forever. That being said, you can at least utilize basically your entire drive, upload whatever you want, and access your drive from your files app. Honestly, at bare minimum, it **needs** search functionality. Provide this, and I might bump this to 3 stars
