Manual sync on Windows
It seems that Proton Drive only syncs documents when the last change value changes, not when the file actually changed, which creates a problem. Windows has this annoying quirk where, if the file size didn't change, it won't update the meta data for the time the document was last saved, so even if you saved 10 times in 10 minutes, if the changes you made summed up to the same file size, Explorer will continue to show the change time as being 10 minutes prior, and the updated file with not be automatically synced. To bypass that you should add…

save as conversions that do not need download
Proton docs can be downloaded in various formats. But you cannot save to the drive in those formats, you have to download and then upload, risking leaving the document on an insecure drive!
Add a "save as" feature which works like download, but saves to the drive.

Improve performance when browsing large photo folders on iOS
Problem
Currently, browsing large folders containing photos in the Proton Drive iOS app is very slow.The following issues occur consistently:
- Slow thumbnail generation
- Scrolling frequently stalls or freezes
- Opening photos takes several seconds
- Recently viewed photos are not cached efficiently
- In some cases the app becomes unresponsive and has to be force-closed
Suggestion
Improve performance for large photo collections by focusing on:- Faster thumbnail generation
- Smoother scrolling
- Better caching of thumbnails and recently viewed photos
- Faster opening of photos after the first view
Why it matters
Many users store large photo archives in Proton Drive. Improving performance would make…2 votes -

Enable default auto-format of double hyphens to em dashes in Proton Docs.
As a journalist using Proton Docs for secure drafting, the lack of automatic formatting for em dashes is a significant friction point in my workflow.
In many professional text editors, typing two hyphens automatically converts them to an em dash. This is standard for long-form writing and quoting. I would love to see it in Proton Docs.

Proton Sheets - Reverse plotting order of data
In Proton sheets, introduce a new feature that allows the user change the plotting order of data in charts.
Currently we are forced to consider the way we order the source data, which makes it very difficult to accurate import data and charts from other sources. Especially tangible if a user is trying to migrate data from other services.
Core feature that is missing:
Allow for reversing order of data in both x and y axis2 votes -
Show current folder when moving files
When I select the title of my current document > move to folder, a popup showing my drive folder structure appears. I'd like to see the current file path on top of the list.
This is useful because I can't accidentally move to a wrong folder or fail to recognize that the file I'm working on is already in there.

"Incomplete" Proton Sheets viewer
A complete Proton Sheets would be nice, yet a simple viewer for sheets (.ods, .xls, etc) would be enough for me 30% of the time
An "incomplete" sheet-editor (no calc needed in the first place) might be another simple solution until we have Proton calcit spreadsheets.29 votes -
Create specific folder icons on Windows that reflect the synchronisation status of a folder. (Proton Drive Client)
On Windows, when folders are synced using the Proton Drive Client, the folder icon remains the Windows default one. It would be good to have different icons that reflect the status of the synchronisation operations.
For example, on top of the original icon
- Small green mark for "synced"
- Small blue mark for "On-going synchronisation"
- Small red mark for "Synchronisation is not active" (which could alert the user of a problem)3 votes -
Allow to import photos from a synced folder
The new landed import photos feature in Proton drive only allows importing photos that are not in a synced folder. This doesn't make sense, as photos are stored separately in Proton Drive. Therefore, not allowing the import of such folders makes it impossible to move photos from the Documents Drive folder to the photo section.

Add Japanese language support to the Windows desktop app
The Proton Drive web version supports Japanese, but the Windows desktop app (v3.0.1) has no language setting and stays in English. Unlike the web version, it can't be translated with a browser either.
As a paying subscriber, I'd love a Japanese option in the desktop app. With privacy awareness growing fast in Japan, proper Japanese support would help Proton reach more users here.2 votes -

Include Postal/Zip code as native entry for cards - Improved Autofill
Proton Pass credit card entries should natively support and autofill a postal code/zip code field in the card schema (along with name, card number, expiration date, etc.).
Reason: many sites require a postal code entry to be included along with #, name, code, etc. to help in security/billing verification.
Benefit: more seamless credit card autofill for users without having to enter the postal code manually or hope for a second step identity autofill.

drive could have an feature to name files with an algorithm for example if someone sorted all pictures of animals into folders: dog_1, dog_5
drive could have an feature to name files with an algorithm for example if someone sorted all pictures of animals into folders: dog1, dog2, ..., dog_1000, ...
Maybe it could be connected to lumo: than one could enter names of people and animals or plushies or figures and it also could sort and rename it. Maybe also with date (change-date / upload date on computer or drive or more accurate the date of the folder).

Change Color of General Proton Docs Icon
Change the general Proton Docs icon (“Recents” icon: https://docs.proton.me/u/1/recents) to a lavender-style icon so it is not the same as “Documents” and matches better with the other Proton icons.

Native Home Assistant Integration for Proton Drive Backups
Hello Proton Team,
I am writing to strongly request a native integration or official API support for Home Assistant backups to Proton Drive.
The Context: Many privacy-conscious users run Home Assistant (the leading open-source home automation platform) on devices like Raspberry ***. For these users, securing local backups in a zero-knowledge cloud is a critical security requirement. Currently, Proton Drive is the ideal target due to its end-to-end encryption, but it is inaccessible for automated backups.
The Problem:
…No Public API: Unlike Google Drive or Dropbox, Proton Drive lacks a public, documented API that allows third-party applications to authenticate and3 votes -
Travel privacy feature
A hide/un-hide feature to disconnect/hide/remove all traces of my Proton Drive files (or certain files) when I enter certain countries. Uninstalling the app on iOS still leaves a copy, if I am correct. Installing the app and re-downloading all my offline files everytime is very time consuming and tedious. Or simply allowing me to not show certain offline files and folders (I believe Dropbox features that) would be amazing. Or perhaps a dashboard that allows me to select everything on Proton I want to hide when I travel would be amazing.

Allow direct file sharing within windows file explorer similar to onedrive
In file explorer it would be nice to have the ability to right click share a file and it generates a proton drive link to share. This should function similar to how it does with OneDrive

Let Proton office software (such as Docs) open documents and spreadsheets instead of Microsoft Office.
I want Proton office software (such as Docs) to replace Microsoft Office in opening documents and spreadsheets, blocking dynamically loaded content and malicious content, and unlike Microsoft Office, it doesn't lack control over the location of temporary files. This ensures that sensitive information in documents is not leaked, and that malicious documents do not pose a security risk or leak IP/device information.

Show width and height of an image
In Proton Drive, when opening a photo, you can't see its dimensions. You could show them for example next to the timestamp under the file name. You could additionally also add them to the info popup.
