Recently had to replace my phone due to an unfortunate accident on a boat. Thankfully I had I used the proton drive app to backup all of my photos, but now I can’t figure out how to restore them all back onto my device. There’s thousands of photos and proton seems to only load 24 at a time, is there a way that I can just just download all of them? On Android if it helps.

      Is it?
      I think it may only need a mindset change.
      Instead of seeing Proton as a backup of stuff that lives on my phone, it could be viewed as, the stuff lives on Proton and I have it on whatever device I need, whenever I have a need.
      I never think of my phone as the primary storage for anything. It’s too easy to loose.

        I see what you’re saying but I don’t agree with you. I want to have my data available to me offline. I’m not looking to have a cloud based phone/device. Not to mention the proton drive app kinda sucks compared to Google photos when it comes to markup and other editing. And scrolling through photos is painfully slow
