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.

Proton Docs Desktop App
Alongside the desktop Proton Drive app should be the option to have a desktop Proton Docs capability so that you can edit, create, or delete your Docs from the desktop without it having to be in the browser. Syncing across devices accordingly and the ability to work offline on the desktop. This would allow for easier use of functioning on an ongoing basis without having to do it on the web every time.

Pivot Table and Pivot Chart support in Proton Sheets
Proton Sheets should include support for Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts to help summarise large datasets. It should be easy to modify the data source, filters, columns, rows, data points and their underlying calculations, etc. Make them as powerful as they are in Excel and easy to style or format with well designed and attractive default themes (maybe include a Proton theme as well!).

Proton Sheets - Conditional Formatting
I'm really enjoying the new Proton Sheets, great work!
The Conditional Formatting manager could use a couple of quality-of-life improvements to make it easier to work with multiple rules:
Currently, the Conditional Formatting sidebar lists every rule in the entire sheet, regardless of which cells are selected. This can make the list very long and hard to navigate in larger spreadsheets. Google Sheets only displays the rules that apply to the currently selected cells, which makes it much faster to find, edit, or reorder the relevant rules. Adopting the same behavior would be a big usability win.

Speed Improvements For Photos
The Photos Feature is pretty cool. I don't do much with my photos, and I'm so close to just switching to it as my primary photos app (Just use it as a backup right now). However, the very slow speed of the photos loading when scrolling through is just unusable. I don't know what exactly causes it to be slow, but my guess would be the encryption. Perhaps use a faster standard like Ente does. Thank you for your time!

Drive: Search within files
The search should be able to search within files. Make that optional because it will take much longer - and probably add a small progress bar for this.

Team Folder
Hello Proton team,
I’d like to share a feature request regarding Proton Drive, specifically for use within families or small groups (Duo/Family plans).
Currently, when someone shares a folder with me, it only appears under “Shared with me.” This is inconvenient for family collaboration, because:
- Shared folders do not appear under “My files,” so they feel separate from my main file structure.
- On mobile, I cannot directly save new files into a shared folder. I first have to save files into my own storage and then manually import each file into the shared folder. This is time‑consuming and not user‑friendly.

Multi Account Sync
A multi-account sync like InSync (multi-account sync software, because even Google hasn't managed to implement it) would be fantastic. I use a personal Proton account and a Proton business account, and I'd create another business account for a future project, but the deal-breaker is: I can only sync one account at a time.
I always have to switch between accounts with logout and login, and that gets annoying after a while.

Photo album shared link support
Please add shared link support to Photo albums so albums can be shared with non-Proton users.
Drive already offers shared link support for files, folders and individual photos, but shared links for albums is a feature gap.

Support for the ODF file format when exporting and importing files to Docs
If you support and live open source, you should also support ODF and not just Microsoft's docx.
This makes the ecosystem even larger and allows for more flexible exchange.

Proton Drive on iOS Files app
I would like to request that Proton Drive appears in the 'Locations' sidebar of the iOS Files app, similar to Google Drive and OneDrive. Currently, it only appears in the Share Sheet.

Support for syncing multiple Proton Drive accounts on same machine
Having multiple proton accounts, ie personal and business, currently only allows one of those accounts to sync Proton Drive to folders on a single machine. Need to have the ability for Proton Drive to handle different accounts with different syncing structure.

Use a more widely known document format (.docx, .odt…) instead of .protondoc
I recently tried to edit a document offline with OnlyOffice from my Proton Drive folder (synced with my account), and to my surprise I found that the document wasn’t supported because its format was .protondoc !
Moreover, when I save a Word document as .docx on my computer and then edit it online, a second document is created in the .protondoc format, and again it can’t be edited with OnlyOffice because the format isn’t recognized !
Why doesn’t Proton use a more common format? Is this a constraint of end‑to‑end encryption?

More storage capacity with Proton Unlimited
500GB storage capacity for Proton Unlimited is nowadays quite limited. Since Proton Duo offers 2TB storage, it would be reasonable for Proton Unlimited to have 1TB storage capacity.

Sortable Albums in Proton Photos
Proton Photos needs the ability to sort albums. As the number of albums grows, the current fixed order becomes confusing and hard to navigate.
Requested features
- Alphabetical sorting
- Sorting by creation or modification date
- Manual sorting (drag & drop)Adding album sorting would greatly improve usability and long‑term organization.

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…
