Proton Docs import/export .odt
Besides .docx, many of us who use Linux and free/open-source software like LibreOffice Writer sometimes use .odt instead. It would be wonderful to have a direct export/download to .odt within Proton Docs

Sort-option for folders and albums
Organizing files and photo's is crucial for data-storage.
It doesn't feel very complex to implement too.
So please make it high(er) priority to be able to sort folders and albums in Proton Drive (windows/ios).109 votes -
Photo deduplication feature
The Drive does not mind importing photos multiple times, even though being advertised differently.
Examples:
- exact same name, created date, but different last modified date => 2 copies.
- modified photo on iPhone => 2 copies (not 1 photo with two different states)
- importing the same photo from multiple sources => multiple copiesThis is driving me crazy, as I want to have a single version of a single photo and don't want to waste my time merging etc. The switch to Proton was supposed to be simple.

Synology NAS Cloud Sync
I miss the capability to connect my ProtonDrive with my Synology NAS by CloudSync or Hyper Backup. This would be one of the last disadvantages compared to conventional cloud providers

Photo albums needs love!
Photo albums currently have exactly zero options for sort customization. Please help!
The ability to sort by name or date ascending or descending would be greatly appreciated.
And album groups would be next level awesomeness. For example you could make a group called "Cats", but in it have different albums for each of your cats.
Keep up the amazing work!89 votes -
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?

Preserve Photo Metadata
When syncing photos, it would be better if it also created the folders being synced to save having to create them in Proton Drive and move your pictures to it. Also, make it a true sync so if I delete photos from my device, it also removes them from PD.
More importantly. Please preserve the metadata of the original file. It's really important to have your photos with the time and date stamp of when they were taken, and also the location information. This is crucial when restoring your files.

Sort files by 'File Type' in Proton Drive

sheets functionality
Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but
when i am typing in a cell, i should be able to hit the right or left arrow key and automatically move to the next cell over. I first have to hit ENTER to get out of editing, which moves the selected cell down a row, then I have to arrow right and up.
Repeating this process a multitude of times becomes time restrictive in cases of heavy data entry and both Google Sheets and Excel do not behave this way.

Lightweight notetaking/todo app
I’m looking for a lightweight notetaking/todo app like Google Keep. I want to be able to write quick notes and organize lists (groceries, chores, tasks, etc.) in one place. It should stay in sync between my computer and my phone so I can add things anywhere. Markdown support would be great so I can bring my existing notes into it.
Thanks for considering this!

View or Filter UNCATEGORISED Photos (those NOT in any Album).
For those of us who like to sort all of our photos into albums as we go along and may periodically wonder "Which ones haven't I filed anywhere yet?", I propose adding a view or filter of UNCATEGORISED Photos -- meaning, those not assigned to any album.
This could be a filter on the main Photos tab -- or it could be implemented as a "magic" Album that cannot be edited by the user and automatically provides a view of all of the photos that do not exist elsewhere.

Find and replace
I was trying Proton docs for an university's homework since a mate and I realized it wasn't possible to "find and replace all" on Proton docs. We had to download and work local

Zotero for Proton Docs
It would be great if there was a way to use Zotero with the new Docs in Proton Drive, similar to the existing Google Docs plugin.
The ability to connect one's bibliographic reference database from Zotero would greatly facilitate the management of references in scientific and other publications.
This is a well-known request from the community that uses both Proton Docs and Zotero : https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/117432/plug-in-for-proton-docs
Thank you for considering this proposal.22 votes -
Delete current photo in the web app
Add a "Delete" button to the single photo view in the Proton Drive web app.
If I have several similar photos and want to keep just one of them and delete all others, I need to close the current photo, find it again in the photo list view (which can be a hard task if the photos are very similar) and delete it from there instead of just clicking "Delete" for the specific photo.

Google Takeout Import Tool for Proton Drive
Dear Proton Team,
I’d like to propose a new feature for Proton Drive: a dedicated Google Takeout Import Tool to streamline the process of importing data from Google Photos exports while correctly respecting the photo/video timeline.
🛠️ Issue
When importing videos from a Google Photos Takeout archive (photos are mostly ok), Proton Drive currently sets the file’s date based on the filesystem timestamp (e.g., when the
.mp4file was downloaded), rather than using the actual creation date stored in the accompanying.jsonmetadata files.This leads to incorrect chronological ordering and loss of accurate historical context—especially for older media and…

Internal Tabs for Single Documents in Proton Docs
I would like to request the addition of internal tabs within a single Proton Docs document. Currently, most office suites (including Proton Docs) treat each document as a standalone file, which can make managing related content cumbersome.
Proposed Functionality:
Allow users to create and switch between multiple tabs or sections within a single document file.
Each tab would contain separate content (e.g., "Instructions," "Main Report," "Sources"), but all would be saved, shared, and version-controlled as one cohesive file.
Users should be able to navigate between tabs seamlessly, similar to how G****e Docs allows multiple sheets or sections within a single…

plain text editting
Proton Docs need the ability to edit simple, plain text files. Ideally, one should be given the option to open text files as text regardless of extension, as long as they are actual plain text files.
This will give the option to have and be able to edit a bunch of file types that can make proton drive more useful and versatile. For example, one can have a markdown notes folder in proton drive, or even a text-based database, or simply take some simple notes and sync across devices.
It does not need to have any complex features or even…

Tags or labels for files and folders
I would love to have the ability to better organize my files in Proton Drive by using labels or tags, independently from folders.
For example, being able to tag a file as both “Project A” and “Budget” would make it much easier to find and group related items across different folders.This feature already exists in Proton Mail and works wonderfully for organizing emails by topic or context — it makes daily use much more efficient.
Having a similar labeling system in Proton Drive would greatly enhance productivity, search, and overall organization, especially for users managing multiple projects or shared…38 votes
