  1. Thumbnail support for modern formats, like WebP, HEIF and HEVC

    Newer smartphones make use of modern formats for storage of photos and videos. These formats include WebP and HEIF for photos and HEVC and WebM for video. Adding thumbnail and metadata support for these formats allows us to make better use of the albums feature, without having to convert these files before storage.

  2. Make Proton Drive folder a 'proper' folder on Mac

    I was trying to work out whether the files in my Proton Drive folder were being backed up to my cloud-based Backblaze backup. Trying to find out where Proton Drive files are actually stored on Mac was a bit of a nightmare. I was unable to clearly see whether these files were included in my backup because they're effectively hidden deep within the user Library. This obfuscation means that I don't trust Proton Drive to hold my files because I can't easily locate and access them, which can be a critical task when setting up things like a cloud backup…

  3. Proton Doc links should continue to work, even when moved out of Proton Drive's folder

    I moved a Proton Doc 'file' (link) out of the Proton Drive folder on my Mac, which seems to have the same effect as deleting the document.

    Trying to open the link from outside the Proton Drive folder gives an error: "This file type can only be opened from within Proton Drive." The link still won't work even if I put it back inside the Proton Drive folder. After doing this, trying to open the file throws up the same error but also creates a "Revision is currently not enabled" sync error in the menu bar icon.

    This is jarring…

  5. Proper Translation of Bulleted Lists from DOCX to Proton Documents

    After Google Drive had scuffed and corrupted a handful of my documents, I recently decided to transfer my files onto Proton Drive. The service has been groovy so far, but I am afraid the formatting is not translating well from DOCX to Proton Documents. The primary issue is that many of my documents were organized with many dense, layered, bulleted lists. The bulleted lists, when transferred from DOCX to Proton Documents, tend to be "squished" all into a single layer.
    I could manually "tab" the new documents to re-create the bulleted lists, but I am afraid that the dozens of…

  6. Web Client: Upload files alphabetically and by folder

    Web Client: Upload files alphabetically and by folder

    If you try to upload lots of files and folders in one go using the manual upload feature (My FIles), you might find that your uploads stop or need to be stopped, for any of a million possible reasons.

    If a upload of numerous files needs to be "continued", for any reason, it would be helpful if the files were uploaded "in order" so there is a sane way to identify where to pick up from.

    Currently, the uploads are done completely randomly across folders, making it impossible to easily select the…

  7. Need the ability to add comments to photos in shared albums

    I am using Google Photos to share family albums and I am trying to determine if I can replace Google Photos with Proton Drive (I am a Proton Duo user). One very useful feature for the users I am sharing the albums with is the ability to add comments. In fact, this would be a show-stopper if it is not possible. The reason is that some of the photos are pretty old (scans of standard prints) and lack details. Being able to add comments is a great and simple way of sharing and improving the information we have about some…

  8. Add Password when exporting a ProtonSheet into xlsx

    ProtonSheet is crypted, that's great. but what happens when we export the sheet?

    For security reason, it could be nice to be able to add a password when exporting the sheet into xlsx (or other format if compatible)

  10. First-class support for XLSX files in

    CURRENT SITUATION
    Currently, when opening an Excel file from Proton Drive in Proton Sheets, a conversion takes place that makes a copy of the file with filetype 'application/vnd.proton.sheet'.
    That means you now have two different versions of the same file, one of which can only be edited in Proton Sheets and one of which can be used in any other spreadsheet application.

    SUGGESTION
    I am aware that Proton Sheets can be exported back to the XLSX format, but I want to request first-class support for XLSX files without conversion. Reasons include:
    - Being able to edit my XLSX files locally…

  11. Video support for most formats e.g. mts files.

    Video support for most formats e.g. mts files and others.
    I have all photos and videos backed up in Proton Drive.
    Would love to see support for viewing all if not most in Proton drive without downloading.

    If you are inside a directory and click on “Files” in the navigation bar on the left bottom corner, it should take you back to the main Files page. Currently, nothing happens when you tap on it.

  13. Allow rename of file when saving on iOS/ipadOS

    It should be possible to rename the file before saving the file from for example the web browser to proton drive.
    Very annoying that after saving the file I need to open up proton drive, go to the correct location in the folder structure and then rename the file.

  14. Backup

    I just think, today we have more devices, mobile, tables, computer, notebook. And when enabled backup options on all of this devices all connected has been storage inside one Photos. When you won’t to check, or review you need long time. My suggestion is to have option to credited folder like Mobile inside Files, and inside application settings to have options to set directories where to storage files for that device.

  15. View-only link access (prevent download)

    Hello,

    A drive link version with view-only access is an essential and attainable feature. This is paramount for one-time actions, such as ID verification, where a file must be marked 'verified' by the recipient, but need not be saved.

    Yes, the file may be captured as a screenshot, and processed thereafter, but this effort and lower resolution will discourage those who may absentmindedly download the file to keep 'a copy on hand', with no thought to its security.

  16. Proton Sheets - Editing Cells with multiple lines

    When trying to add multiple lines in the cell edit dialog box, while the bar at the top (fx bar?) has up and down arrows to scroll between lines. This can be a little cumbersome. Please allow for vertical expansion of the edit bar.

    Web based spreadsheets Excel and Google Sheets support this. As well as client install Excel and Libre calc all allow this. I would say this is fair justification of the utility of this feature and a request for feature parity.

  17. Make cloud archiving optional

    I have files that I rarely access but are critical when I do access them (e.g. manuals) and the times I need to access them are likely to coincide with my having no internet access as I sail. It would therefore be great to be able to flag folders so that a local copy is maintained even when the contents have not been accessed for a while.

  18. Proton sheets - option to preserve formatting of origin cell when cutting

    I would like the cells in my sheet to all be size 13 text with text wrap. I also have a table which has thicker border lines then the default. However when I cut and paste to move text, the original cell goes back to the default settings of size 10 text with overflow, and the cell borders go back to thin lines. I would like a cut option that leaves the original cell formatting unchanged.

  19. Allow adding photos from Proton Drive to Albums in the web interface

    Currently, there's no way to add photos that are already stored in Proton Drive to Photos when using the web interface. The only options are:

    • Use the iOS or Android app
    • Upload directly from your computer to Photos

    Requested feature: Add the ability to browse Proton Drive and select existing photos/videos to add to an album, directly from the web interface.

    Bonus: Ideally, this should work by reference rather than creating a duplicate. Adding a photo from Drive to an album shouldn't consume twice the storage quota.

    Use case:Users who have already uploaded and organized photos in Proton Drive…

  20. Auto‑create albums in Proton Drive Android backup

    When the Android Gallery backs up photos to Proton Drive, the app currently uploads all images into a flat folder structure. It would be very helpful to have an option that automatically creates albums in Proton Drive that mirror the albums (folders) already defined in the device’s Gallery.

    • Detect each existing Gallery album at backup time.
    • Create a matching album (folder) in Proton Drive.
    • Place the corresponding photos inside that album, preserving the original organization.

    This would make it easier for users to locate and share grouped photos without having to manually recreate the album hierarchy after the backup.
