  1. Export all Drive data

    Please provide a feature like "Take Out" from Google, I constantly make backups of all my data to an offline drive, downloading everything manually is really time consuming.

  2. Linux Client

    Proton Drive really needs the ability to sync desktop files automatically. This post focuses on a Linux client for Proton Drive.

  4. linux client for debian

    Unfortunately, after years of using the Unlimited account and various services to the best of my ability, I will be forced to cancel my subscription to Proton due to the lack of a drive client for Debian. I believe it is unthinkable to have such a great and cool ecosystem but not have a drive available for Linux.

  7. View and edit docs without an account

    It would be cool if anyone with a shareable link could view and edit the document, similar to google docs for example.

    This would greatly lower the barrier for me to use it regularly, as I could share it when planning events or doing a group project with people that don't have proton accounts.

    I genuinely believe docs is a way better experience to use for most things I would usually use word/google/etc. for, and this would allow even more people to get familiar with it.

  8. Organize pictures with folders or tags

    So I just don't understand how we ended up without any way to organize the photo section of proton drive? I mean it's only organized by date essentially as close as I can tell.

    The problem comes when comparing this to Google photos which I currently pay for and have significant data there, is they allow me to take the files and put keywords in the files under the details area.

    Google also allows me to make folders of specific photos, so they can be organized. I'm just wondering if we can't put some folders in proton drive / photos…

  9. Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage

    In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.

    This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.

    My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…

  10. Proton Photos

    basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.

    As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.

    Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

  11. Table of Contents :: Proton Docs

    Thanks for making Proton Docs!

    Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?

    Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.

    Thanks again!

  12. Multiple Shared Drives / Folders

    We request the introduction of a feature in Proton Drive that allows users to create and manage multiple shared drives, each with its own set of users and permissions. These shared drives should be fully integrated into the Proton Drive ecosystem, appearing with a complete hierarchy of folders and files across all platforms (web application, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).

    Feature Details:

    Multiple Shared Drives: Users should be able to create distinct shared drives for different projects or groups. Each shared drive should operate independently, allowing for separate management of users, permissions, and storage quotas.

    User and Permission Management: Administrators of…

  13. Edit file metadata (including photos)

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  14. Proton Docs :: ASCII docs and LaTeX Support

    Proton Docs is such a welcome addition! Thank you!

    Will you please add collaborative LaTeX support with the encrypted proton flair?

    Overleaf is an existing product that enables collaborative LaTeX document editing which is great for formal documentation, but it lacks encryption that is often required by standards bodies, large organizations, or sensitive industries.

  15. Sync with QNAP NAS

    What I miss the most on Proton Drive is ability to Sync folders with QNAP NAS. It would be awesome to have Proton Drive as a secure cloud backup storage.

  16. Add Shared Folders to Proton Drive Sync

    My wife and I fully utilize the Proton sharing features across the platform. We share files in Proton Drive, but the biggest gap for us is not being able to sync shared folders/files (using Proton Drive Sync for MacOS). The only way we can access the files that have been shared is through the Proton Drive web application.

    Why is it so important that we be able to sync using MacOS?

    Because we heavily utilize the MacOS Spotlight feature to find specific files that contain specific search terms in the body of the document. For reasons we understand, this feature…

  17. Photo Sorting/Organization/Albums

    Currently the photos in proton drive feel only good for backing up. But if I want to pull up a photo and show it to someone it's unusable. There needs to be a way to filter by date or filter by location. There should be a timeline scroll bar on the side. It would be amazing to be able to create albums. If there were a collaboration with open street maps to pull the location data from the photos and map them that would be another great way to search photos.
    I am just fine with waiting for photos to…

  18. Move backed up photos to a folder

    Right now, photos backed up from a phone can't be moved around like normal files and must remain in the Photos tab.

    It would be great to treat photos like normal files and be able to sort them into different drive folders once they got backed up.

    Right now the only way to do that is to upload your photos folder manually.

  19. Ability to edit a document (text, SPREADSHEET & PRESENTATION) with a non-proton user

    I was very happy to hear about the document editing feature, it's the killer feature I've been waiting for to switch to ProtonDrive and abandon Kdrive !
    But two disappointments :
    - firstly, there's only a text document editing function and no spreadsheet (excel) or presentation (PowerPoint). I imagine this will come later, but why not rely directly on Onlyoffice?
    - Secondly, it's not possible to use the document editing function with a user who doesn't use protondrive ! This drastically reduces the number of use cases, which is a shame...
    Until at least these two functions are in place,…
