I highly recommend this app, I understand some bugs are still being ironed out however you can't dismiss the fact that it's a cloud service that uses strong encryption methods that ensure protection over your files. I put complete trust in this app due to the zero knowledge encryption and other strong encryption methods. 10/10 recommend even though it's still under heavy development.

Need a SEARCH or FIND function to locate the file(s) so badly…

File management is good. Photo backup needs developed more. Look at PhotoSync for inspiration. To backup photos on iOS means backing up potentially 5 files+. Photo, edited version, live .mov, edited live .mov, and the AEE file which’s I believe tracks the changes.
On top of that there needs to be delta detection to backup edits and metadata changes that happen after upload.
Maybe Proton and PhotoSync can collaborate to add Proton drive support into Proton photo backup.

Switched to this from Google drive. After spending the better part of a day backing up all my photos the app is trying to backup all 4400 photos again??

Tried it out for photo backup.
Would love it if proton could perfect this.
But the app, absent any other files stored in proton drive single-handedly chewed thru the remaining storage space on the phone. Almost 10 GB of storage space on the phone used by drive and for what, just to upload to the cloud? Makes no sense and makes it unusable.

Doesn’t work at all

I keep getting a pop up saying"waiting for WiFi to continue backup" ... what is this ? I do not use WiFi....

This review only concerns the new photos backup feature. The initial sync was very slow and even subsequent syncs with just a handful of additions is slow. A couple of photos were noted as ‘failed to backup’ and retry doesn’t fix. Also, I noticed duplicates of photos that I had edited in the Apple photos app. Proton is showing the pre-edit version and the edit version despite the fact that the Apple photos app only shows the final edit version as it should. Even videos were being duplicated. Lastly, the playback of content (esp video) takes a long time to load before playing although if use the web version, it loads much faster. So overall, slow and buggy but hoping fixes will come out soon to make it more useable.

Amen!!!

Photo backup disappeared today, 6/27/24, and appeared back again the day after. A few days ago the feature was announced for iOS. It looks like it’s still a little risky to delete the photos from iCloud and from the device.
