Ratings and Reviews
Duplicate
Each photo is imported twice. With the latest update the photo icon disappeared. Has the fonction been removed ?
Subpar app
Photos are duplicated on upload.
No background synchronization.
Slow uploads in general.
Photos not available in desktop app.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback! The app recognizes duplicates. However, if you've modified any of your photos, then the original along with the modified versions will be uploaded too. Moreover, the app does support backing up photos in the background, but Apple controls when it gets the chance to do so. You can learn more about the limitations imposed by the iOS platform at: https://proton.me/support/drive-ios-background-uploads.
So far so good
It acts like you'd expect; I've not come across any bugs. Anyone that wants a not self-hosted yet still privacy respecting alternative to Google Drive would be happy with this, and I recommend people try it if they're on the edge of getting it or not. Proton's a good company too, so paying for this supports a good cause.
One feature that would be nice, however, is to allow file compression on/pre upload. Matrix should have a lossless, stealable compression algorithm.
And I had one bug that resolved itself within 10 minutes of installing the app: being unable to save images/files from iOS.
Anyways, I'm glad to see Proton's trying to make somewhat of an ecosystem. If I get money to spare I plan to support them. I can't wait to see the Proton computer and Proton car next (have to beat Apple to the iCar).
