Spring 2024 on Proton Drive
Spring 2024 on Proton Drive
from the team:
Hi everyone,
If you haven’t visited our blog recently, here’s an overview of the main Proton Drive announcements from the past three months:
Improvements: ✉️ A new sharing feature provides more security and control. It allows you to share files and folders with a specific email user together with a message for the recipient.
📷 Photo backup is now available on iOS too.
✍️ Last week, we introduced Docs in Proton Drive, making it possible to collaborate in real-time, leave comments, add photos, and store your documents, all in a private environment.
Speaking of sharing, many people use WeTransfer to share files when they are large, as well as WhatsApp when they are small. Here are some things you need to consider if you’re using these two services:

We’ll keep rounding up top blog articles each month for you to make sure you’re all caught up on the latest news and tips. You can follow our blog here(we have an RSS feed, too), and we welcome all your suggestions about what we should write about next! Let us know in the comments.
Any update on the Linux implementation on Drive ?
I backed up my photos from ios yesterday. Over 400, took awhile but it worked. I noticed the app itself needs to be open, doesn’t seem to work when running in the background.
I had the same experience. Though I strongly suspect this is an IOS limitation rather than an issue with the proton app. Just an fyi for optics
It is. Every app has to be open. Sync.com can sync in the background tho. They do this to trigger your location service.
The app even says so itself:
Must’ve missed it when it popped up. At least I can confirm it’s true lol
App needs to be on screen? That’s a huge limitation.
