Hey all, I’m thinking of moving my whole family over to Proton Family, mostly for the combination of multiple email accounts for our custom domain and shared storage.

But I have some considerations, currently we have a single account from another storage provider where we all sync upload photos to different folders. I then have a sync to PC so I always have a local backup of everything, both in case anything happens to the provider and also if I want to switch provider everything is already exported.

My question is, is it possible to have something similar with proton? Can the proton client sync both files and photos to PC? I’ve tried reading up but it’s not clear to me.

Thanks in advance edited for clarity

    I see, that’s what I was suspecting. I wonder if someone has a solution to what I want to achive. Is it even possible to export the photos in one go? (not manually downloading them I mean)

      With a quick look, it seems the only way is to click every single month, for as long as you’ve been uploading, then hit the download button. There doesn’t appear to be an “export photos” button or anything.

          Google is better at almost everything. They’ve been around way longer, have infinite money, and don’t need to worry about encryption.
