  1. Folder structure

    Add an option in the windows Proton Drive App, to change the folder structure from:
    "Proton Drive/username/My files/DATA I STORE"
    to
    "Proton Drive/DATA I STORE".

    the current folder structure is unnecessary and confusing, the "username/My files" folders are not necessary if you have only one Proton account.

  2. Photo backup by album should save to albums

    In the mobile app I can select which albums to backup on Proton drive. When saved to Proton drive the photos should stay sorted into those albums.

    Additionally, being able to create share links to those albums would be good as well.

  3. Proton Docs standard file format need to change

    Basically, the proton docs created on the Proton Drive Web are attached to .protondoc format. This format is exclusive and does not open with Word, Libreoffice or anyhthing else.

    I think it's urgent that we can change the standard format in a menu or even if we choose the format every time we create a new Proton Docs file.

    The protondoc file format is a problem cause if the user wants to migrate a lot of files and/or folders, he will have a huge problem with those document files that only works in Proton ecosystem, I think it doesn't aligns…

  5. A Folder's date should be the same as the NEWEST object it contains

    Please vote on reddit as well if you agree: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1di8s9s/proton_drive_a_folders_date_should_be_the_same_as/

    Whenever a file is uploaded to a folder (or a sub-folder created), the dates of all the folders up-stream ought to be updated, so that it's easy to find things if we're going by date.

    Let's suppose that I have the following folder structure:

    (Ignore the dots; they're needed for the indentation.)

    ········My files
    ········|
    ········+- Work
    ········|·····|
    ········|·····+- Project 1
    ········|·····|
    ········|·····+- Project 2
    ········|
    ········+-·Personal
    ·············|
    ·············+- Home Remodel
    ·············|
    ·············+-·Vacation photos
    ···················|
    ···················+- Italy
    ···················|
    ···················+- Spain

    If I add a file to MyFiles/Work/Project 1, the time-stamp…

  6. View only permissions for share link (no download option)

    I would love to see a feature in share link settings that would block/remove the download option. Useful in cases where you want people to be able to preview photos for example, but not be able to easily download them. This wouldn't stop tech-savvy users but would provide some friction against the average user downloading things you may not want them to.

  7. Proton Docs: Option to stop automatically converting dashes to bullet points

    I am excited for Proton Docs and I wanted to migrate my document off Google Drive and onto Proton but I haven't found an option to stop bullet points from being created from a dash followed by a space.

    Most of my documents are creative writing, which means every line of dialogue is basically being turned into a bullet point, rendering Proton Docs pretty much unusable as it is for me.

    I wish there was a way to disable this behavior or at least have a bullet point option that uses the dash symbol '-' in addtion to the circle,…

  9. Unlimited Storage

    I would like to see Unlimited Storage tier similar to Google Workspaces and Dropbox. It's one of the two blockers that prevent me from switching to Proton.

    The way Google and Dropbox implemented it is they don't just give unlimited storage up front but require users request increase when they approach their current storage limits. This works well to prevent abuse of the system, but it gives users who have a legitimate need for extensive and steadily but slowly growing data have a peace of mind that they will not face a situation where they are capped by an artificial…

  10. Increase files per folder limit beyond 30,000

    I might be an edge case, but I regularly use Cryptomator to encrypt my local files. The problem is Cryptomator creates a large number of small files within a single folder. Needless to say, I cannot change the file structure without causing issues with Cryptomator, but I've blasted well beyond the 30,000 file limit. I'm a hair under 60,000 and I have heard of people who have far more files than I do.

    This limitation makes Proton Drive significantly less useful as working with the contents of these vaults is my day to day work as I switch between my…

  11. Sync files from one computer to 1 or more others

    I often work on data or files on my desktop, and later move to my laptop to continue working. My understanding of the current sync a folder function is that files from each computer are segregated in the cloud. There's no way to sync a folder on one computer and have that folder mirrored on another. This functionality is like SugarSync.

  12. Remove local sync data from computer when user signs out of drive on the device

    When you sign out of Proton Drive on a local computer, Mac or Windows, the synced copies of the files remain unencrypted on your local disk.

    There are three simple use cases here that could be facilitated by options on the sign-out page.

    1. Securely remove all data from the local disk
    2. Encrypt the locally stored data until the user signed in again
    3. Leave the data as is, open and insecure - the current behaviour.

    This would allow the user to choose how their data is handled when signing out.

  13. Folder details and file versions

    On the Folder details, can it be distinguished between Upload folder and Created folder please? If Uploaded then the size and is it possible for Folder versioning? About the file versioning it would be helpful to capture accurate logs of the versions, even if a version is deleted and by whom IF we can't get admin approval for any deletion on company or host shared drive.

  15. Docs: Insert image from proton drive

    One can already insert images into a Proton Doc. But only uploads from the current computer are supported. One should also have the option to use an image that is already on proton drive.

  16. Improved formatting controls for Documents in Proton Drive

    When I am editing a Document in Proton Drive, I have three specific feature requests for the Document editor:

    1) Please make the "Bulleted list" button be a top-level control in the formatting bar. In other words, make it possible for me to format the current line of the document as a bulleted list using just a single click of the mouse. The current UI design requires me to first click a button that reveals a dropdown. Then, from the dropdown that appears, I must click a second time on the "Bulleted list" option. The Google Docs approach to this…

  17. Add "private link" to (sharing) Drive Document/Folder

    I'd like to be able to use "private links" to my documents in other tools. For example, Zotero is a tool to manage scientific reading material. I currently use Google Docs to store my documents and add a private link to them in my Zotero library entries. (IT is important for it to be a private link, considering that some libraries are shared or public, but I don't want to get in trouble with sharing links to copyrighted material.)

  18. Better android app PDF viewer

    Currently in the Drive android app you can read PDFs stored on your drive but the reader lacks features, mainly the ability to quickly go to a page or scroll fast. Currently, if you want to read page 100 of a PDF you will have to swipe 100 times which is quite unpractical. Adding a button to go to a specific page by entering its number or a slider that lets you scroll through the whole PDF by sliding it on the length of your phone screen (like in adobe's acrobat reader) would help a lot.

    Also making clickable links…

  19. Proton Drive Android: free up local space by deleting backed-up photos

    Make it easier to clear local storage space. Some options to add:
    Filter photos to show only those that are still on the device.
    Sort by file size.
    Select multiple photos/videos and delete local copy.

    Another possible option: auto-delete local copies of photos and videos after X days, if they have been successfully backed up. (Do not forget to check for successful backup in all of these cases. Sometimes videos are not backed up for whatever reason.)
