  1. Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage

    In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.

    This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.

    My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…

  2. 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.

  3. Proton Photos

    basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.

    As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.

    Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

  5. iOS upload photos in the background

    It is my understanding the iOS photos will upload to Proton drive only if you open the Proton drive app, but it would be much better for photos to be backed up automatically, without needing to open the Proton Drive app.

  6. Multiple Shared Drives / Folders

    We request the introduction of a feature in Proton Drive that allows users to create and manage multiple shared drives, each with its own set of users and permissions. These shared drives should be fully integrated into the Proton Drive ecosystem, appearing with a complete hierarchy of folders and files across all platforms (web application, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).

    Feature Details:

    Multiple Shared Drives: Users should be able to create distinct shared drives for different projects or groups. Each shared drive should operate independently, allowing for separate management of users, permissions, and storage quotas.

    User and Permission Management: Administrators of…

  7. Table of Contents :: Proton Docs

    Thanks for making Proton Docs!

    Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?

    Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.

    Thanks again!

  8. Edit file metadata (including photos)

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  9. Support older macOS versions

    Currently, the Proton Drive app for Mac is only compatible with version 13 of macOS (Ventura). However, many Mac users operate older versions and may be unable to upgrade due to hardware constraints (older Macs). From an environmental standpoint, it should be able to keep one's computer for as long as it works, and not be forced to trade up just to be able to access a new feature...

  10. Proton Docs :: ASCII docs and LaTeX Support

    Proton Docs is such a welcome addition! Thank you!

    Will you please add collaborative LaTeX support with the encrypted proton flair?

    Overleaf is an existing product that enables collaborative LaTeX document editing which is great for formal documentation, but it lacks encryption that is often required by standards bodies, large organizations, or sensitive industries.

  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…

  12. Sync with QNAP NAS

  13. Move backed up photos to a folder

    Right now, photos backed up from a phone can't be moved around like normal files and must remain in the Photos tab.

    It would be great to treat photos like normal files and be able to sort them into different drive folders once they got backed up.

    Right now the only way to do that is to upload your photos folder manually.

  14. Ability to edit a document (text, SPREADSHEET & PRESENTATION) with a non-proton user

    I was very happy to hear about the document editing feature, it's the killer feature I've been waiting for to switch to ProtonDrive and abandon Kdrive !
    But two disappointments :
    - firstly, there's only a text document editing function and no spreadsheet (excel) or presentation (PowerPoint). I imagine this will come later, but why not rely directly on Onlyoffice?
    - Secondly, it's not possible to use the document editing function with a user who doesn't use protondrive ! This drastically reduces the number of use cases, which is a shame...
    Until at least these two functions are in place,…

  16. Move or Copy Shared Files/Folders to "My Files" without Download and Upload.

    In Drive Web or Desktop App, Files and Folders which have been shared to one Person (Shared with me Tab), should be able to be copied or moved to "My Files" Tab without the neccessity to download and reupload to/from a local Computer.

  17. Show desktop folders on mobile app

    I'm using the beta Windows sync client and it works well to be able to sync my folders up to the Proton Drive webapp. However, while the sync client allows you to sync any folders on your machine, no folders outside of the ProtonDrive folder on the computer are showing up on the mobile app. On the web all of the folders that sit outside of the Proton Drive main folder show up under a "Computers" navigation. For those of us that have multiple folders across multiple drives can you enable the ability to see "computers" in the mobile app?

  18. Photo Sorting/Organization/Albums

    Currently the photos in proton drive feel only good for backing up. But if I want to pull up a photo and show it to someone it's unusable. There needs to be a way to filter by date or filter by location. There should be a timeline scroll bar on the side. It would be amazing to be able to create albums. If there were a collaboration with open street maps to pull the location data from the photos and map them that would be another great way to search photos.
    I am just fine with waiting for photos to…

  19. Protons Docs Increase File Size Limit

    I have some documents with a lot of images that I'd like to migrate to Proton Docs, and they far exceed the current limit. It'd be nice if the size of the docs could be only limited by how much Proton Drive storage I have left (which is hundreds of GB), instead of 25 MB per doc.

  20. Custom styles for docs

    So excited that you're in the docs space now! In order to replace Google Docs, I need custom styles (set and recall Title, Subtitle, H1, H2, normal, etc.) with keyboard shortcuts. 1 up from Google would be the ability to create global style sets that can be applied to any doc.
