iOS duplicate better management

iOS duplicate better management

Hey everyone, 

I’m Jan, Engineering Manager for mobile on Proton Drive. But mainly I’m an iOS dev and I’ve been busy working with the team on our new SDK and related improvements.

I just wanted to share with you a small, but important update for Proton Drive on iOS. Until now, uploading a file with the same name as an existing one kept both, so you'd end up with duplicates eating into your storage and no easy way to tell them apart.

Now, when you upload, you’re prompted with three options:

  • Replace - Keep your existing file and add a new version
  • Keep Both - Save alongside the original (new file is auto-named)
  • Skip - Discard the new upload

This is just one of the improvements that the new SDK made easy to build and it’s part of the ongoing work we’re doing to improve Proton Drive. More of these to come!

Android support is coming later.

Stay safe,
Jan
