1. Shared photo library

   As a family, we love the Google Photos feature of having a shared photo library that syncs instantly from our Android phones. Proton Drive should implement more of these Google Photos features, but with encryption. We need this joint photo sharing feature on Android for our photo libraries. We do not want to choose albums each time again, but an automatic sync feature among partners.

2. Make photos searchable in Photos Section

   Some recommended sorting axes:

   Date (by year, by month, by day)
   File Extension
   File Name (not as helpful as the previous 2)

   Other EXIF data (not necessary but would be nifty!)

   Location
   Camera Type

   I've recently moved all my photos from OneDrive over to ProtonDrive using the Photos section. I have thousands of photos since 2010 and it would be extremely helpful to be able to sort through my photos in some way. Even just a bar on the side of the photos when scrolling, so you can skip to a certain year or month. But ideally a search bar where I can type "2022" or "March" and get all photos taken in "2022" or in the month of "March" in any year.

3. Photos bidirectional sync

   It's great that one's photos can be "backed up". But, photos needs to have bidirectional syncing. An example: if one deletes a photo on one's phone, it should be deleted in Proton Drive/Photos. I applaud all of the wonderful improvements in Proton Drive/Photos, but to be fully functional this feature is needed. Of course, none of the features are available to Linux users as there is NO PROTON DRIVE CLIENT available for Linux.

4. Markdown support for Drive

   I like the document editor in drive (even though it misses some features). But I dont like the fact it only works online, and local representations are only links to the online document (editor).
   I like to work offline, and be able to work with simple text files. I like to write al sorts of documents as markdown in vim. Markdown is great: it can be 'rendered' as something rich-texty but it is also perfectly readable as plain text. Best of both worlds...
   I would love support for this workflow in Drive.

5. AI photo finder

   It would be great if there was a privacy friendly (read: on device) replacement for the facial recognition-based photo organization in non-privacy respecting apps.

   One thing I found useful in Google Photos for instance that I've missed is the ability to see a selection of faces of people that I know and then to find pictures I've taken of them. Currently if I know the photo I'm looking for is one of my father ... I'm often out of luck trying to find it in a sea of photos.

   Facial recognition technology does bother me for a number of reasons ... but the can of worms is already opened. It would be great to see this more benevolent and handy use case paired with a privacy respecting implementation.

6. Organize Photos

   It would be great, and frankly necessary, feature to be able to organize photos:

   1. To be able to filter and preview with different criteria (Assigned album, location, device, etc.), and not only to see them listed by date.
      E.g. Add a button/slider like - Exclude pictures assigned to Albums from Photos. So a user can easily filter "unassigned" photos. - If I assign photos to an album, I know where to find them - Current setup is confusing because I don't know if I added all of the photos I want to an album.

   2. When backing up folders from mobile device, it would be great if we could mirror the organisational structure.
      E.G. If the photos on a mobile device are already sorted in "Albums" and "Group Albums", we should be able to see the same structure in Proton Drive without re-creating it manually. (Basically just copy Samsung Gallery or similar organisation)

   3. Being able to link Albums in Proton Drive as a folder - One you can open and manage as any other, maybe add a special icon.

7. Folders in Photo Album

   I love that you can put photos from e.g. one trip in one Album. I would love it even more, if I could further sort them in different folders (i.e. Museum, Beach, trip to city XY).

8. Allow selection of email alias for Proton Drive shared downloads

   When we share a file from Proton Drive, it reveals the account primary email address. E.g. "Digital signature verified. This file was securely uploaded by email@proton.me". Allowing the use of an alias would help maintain privacy.

9. Proton Docs Improvements

   The ability to have a non-pageless design, a ruler, line spacing so it can be used for academic papers (think double space, 1.15, 1.5, etc...), ability to open PDFs in Proton Docs, word count, and the paint format feature. Also, please add the ability for the mobile versions of Proton Drive to edit Proton Docs in the app or a separate Proton Doc app. I love Proton Docs though it's amazing and the UI is beautiful.

10. Preload photos in the background for quick viewing

    Viewing photos in proton drive is quite cumbersome as it takes a several seconds for each photo to load in high quality. Preloading the next few photos - and keeping the previous few in memory - would make the experience so much more enjoyable.

11. 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 cannot be made available in Proton Drive (the web application or mobile applications). However, we use MacOS Spotlight to deliver what Proton Drive cannot. As such, it is imperative that we be able to sync shared folders to MacOS,

13. WebDAV Access for ProtonDrive (Linux)

    Dear Proton Team,

    I’d like to share my feedback regarding Lumo and using ProtonDrive on Ubuntu. Below is a summary of our discussion:

    1. WebDAV Access for ProtonDrive I attempted to use ProtonDrive via WebDAV on Ubuntu to improve usability. Despite enabling Beta access, I couldn’t find a WebDAV option in ProtonDrive settings. Efforts to use davfs2 or rclone failed because the domain dav.proton.me couldn’t be resolved.
    2. Alternative Solutions ProtonMail Bridge: Installed successfully but lacks direct ProtonDrive integration. Session Buddy: A Chrome extension to save ProtonDrive sessions, reducing frequent logins. However, I’m uncomfortable relying on this workaround due to security concerns and limited functionality compared to native integration. Rclone: While useful for cloud sync, there’s no official support for ProtonDrive. Browser Extensions: Tools like password managers help but don’t replace native integration.
    3. Feedback and Suggestions Enable WebDAV: Official WebDAV support would allow seamless Linux integration. Native Desktop App: A dedicated ProtonDrive app for Linux would significantly improve usability and reduce reliance on browser extensions. API Access: Providing an API or official integrations (e.g., for rclone) would enhance flexibility. Access and Security: The current browser-based access is cumbersome, requiring frequent logins—especially problematic when handling sensitive data. A better integration would improve both usability and security.
    4. General Experience with Lumo Lumo provided helpful guidance but could offer clearer instructions or links for ProtonDrive integration on Ubuntu. I hope this feedback helps improve ProtonDrive’s Linux compatibility. Thank you for your efforts!

14. Add ProtonDrive to the ProtonMail Linux app the same way as ProtonCalendar

    It would be nice to be able to open ProtonDrive through the Linux ProtonMail app through the "Proton applications" icon button. On Linux I currently have to open the drive in a browser and log in which is inconvenient.

16. Sync directories android/linux/windows/drive and allow backup apps like Whastapp, Signal, Threema

    This could be achieved by syncing a directory in android with proton drive.

    Syncing a folder is essential. For instance I could sync some documents, books, keepass databases and other files to have a shared directory between my computer and my phone and having all those files also OFFLINE for instance when traveling.

    An option to backup public storage data from apps such as: Whatsapp, Signal, Threema, etc is also essential to stop using Google Services (dgrive) to backup those apps. I think the private storage backup is not possible.

20. Proton Docs: documents should use odt format by default

    Even if docx is a format more used, Proton should use odt instead as it is an open and standardized format while docx is proprietary and belongs to Microsoft.
