Hi everyone,

Based on some recent community feedback, we have made some improvements to the file sharing and downloading experience.

When you share files or folders via links with somebody else, the download page that is shared is now much more powerful.

Proton Drive: Improved download experience

First, it’s now easier to navigate nested shared folders. It can be challenging to find the right files when you have multiple folders and subfolders. So we’ve added new navigation features to help you find your way around more easily between your various folders.

You can also now preview files for certain types of files, including .docx, .pdf, video and image files. When someone shares a file with you, you no longer have to download it to see it. So instead of just seeing a list of files, you’ll be able to see the files themselves.

Additionally, if you’re sharing multiple files with someone, they can now see a preview of each file without having to download them individually. This feature only works for images, videos, .docx and .pdf files, but we’ll be rolling this out for more file types soon.

You can view an example of the new download experience here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/1XWCTKWXMW#nju49aet5Vkg

As always, your input is important to help us keep developing Proton Drive to meet your needs. Let us know what you think.
