Proton Sheet public link with expiration and password from Proton Sheet directly.
This one is an easy one, and the title speaks by itself.
With a Proton Drive link, when I create a public link, I have the option to set a password and an expiration date. It is possible to share a Proton Sheet from Proton Drive this way, which is OK, but not from Proton Sheet, which would be even better.2 votes -

Proton Sheets - Automatic Import of Comments
Hi, I really love that Proton Sheets now exists, but I've been using the Comment function in Microsoft Excel a lot, and am desperately missing an automatic import function of all my comments in Excel. Can this feature be added, please?
The comments that I have created in Excel are far too many for inserting them manually, and I would really love to be able to seamlessly continue working with them in Proton Sheets! =)5 votes -
Powerpoint editing and preview
I have transferred across to Proton because of the privacy features. I'm struggling with the lack of preview for Powerpoint files. I use them all the time for work. My last drive provider had the ability to edit these files online. Please add this feature as a matter of urgency

Allow renaming files within MS Word
Something changed in the background and I'm no longer able to rename a file from inside MS Word for files that are stored locally (or online) on my Proton Drive. There is something wrong with permission structures between Microsoft and Proton Drive.

Easy-to-share links for shared folders and files (URL shortener)
It would be great to have an optional feature that generates short, easy-to-share links for shared folders and files. For example: pm.me/share/<share_id>. This would make sharing simpler across emails, chats, and mobile devices, while still keeping the full URL available for those who prefer it.

Proton Drive’s session management - Persistent login session
Hi Proton Team and Community,
I would like to raise a security-related suggestion regarding Proton Drive’s session management.
Currently, Proton Drive maintains a persistent login session, which is convenient from a usability standpoint. However, in certain scenarios, especially when dealing with sensitive or confidential documents, this behavior can pose a security risk.
Unlike tools such as Cryptomator, which require authentication (e.g., PIN or password) every time the application is accessed, Proton Drive does not currently offer an option for an additional local authentication layer or automatic lock on device access.
You guys already do this with proton pass.

Be able to read EML files within proton drive
Not sure if this is be asked for but when I save EML files to my drive either my files or shared folder on my pc I can read them when I try to open like a pdf. This would be very time saving. Currently on android you have to download onto your phone then either upload online to a converter like apose which I'm against due to privacy issue or one of very few apps (only 2 I can find) are available so you have to install this to the read which again not keen due to privacy. Yes…

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…

Tables on iOS are excessively narrow
Tables that look fine on other devices are shrunk to an excessively small width on iOS devices in the Proton Drive app as well as in the Browser (tested with Safari and Firefox). In a two-column table, the width is so small that line breaks are added even for short words.

I need a way to stop keep getting a Sync Issue Alert for a Lock FIle that is being used by Another App.
Since others have asked for an "Ignore Files" feature and they still haven't gotten it, I need some way to get Proton Drive to stop nagging me with ALERTS about files that WILL NOT SYNC because they are locked (or for any other reason.)
How about a way to DISMISS an ALERT? How about PERMANENTLY for a given file?
Otherwise other, more vital alerts and/or other notifications might get lost amongst all the noise.

Make it possible to move data from synced computers to "my files"
Bulk upload of files (multiple GB) to "my files" using the browser is not reliable. Very often only the folder names are uploaded but no data inside. That requires manual checking of each folder to see if the content was uploaded too or not.
When as a workaround, syncing the data using the Proton Drive app is chosen, it gets reliably uploaded and is stored in "Computers". Now the problem is that the data can't be moved to "my files" where I want it to have it stored.

Double-click to open a shared Proton Doc
Opening a shared Proton Doc – In the web UI (https://drive.proton.me), locate the shared document, double‑click the title or the blue Doc icon (or select the file and press Enter/right‑click → “Open in Docs”). This opens the file directly in the Proton Docs viewer. The three‑dot menu only offers download, details, copy, or remove; it does not contain the “open” command. Adding this step‑by‑step tip will help free‑account users who see only the three‑dot menu and prevent confusion.

Private Secure Podcast Hosting by Proton using FOSS Castopod
I realize that someone could self-host their podcast (using free hosting software from Castopod) and distribute their podcast that way, but most Netizens are not going to go that route. I propose a podcast hosting solution that is based in a more privacy-friendly country like Switzerland.
If Proton hosted Castopod software on their servers, that would create a private, podcast hosting option that could also be spun-up quite easily. Proton could also limit its support to the most basic set-up issues, with users accepting terms upfront that only initial configuration support will be provided by Proton while also clarifying that…

Show upload/download status in tray icon tooltip and left click option
When hovering over the tray icon, it would be really useful to show status information like whether something is uploading or downloading, current speed, how much is completed, and how much is left.
There’s a lot of useful info that could live there instead of the tray icon being mostly passive. This would make background activity much more transparent and actually justify having the tray icon at all.
It would be great if the tray icon had a meaningful left-click action.
For example, in OneDrive, left-click opens a small window showing recent uploads and current sync activity. In Proton apps,…

In iOS Proton Drive app, allow to upload more thant 10 photos at once
I use the feature professionnally a lot, always for more than 10 photos, and every time have to repeat the operation multiple times so I can upload everything that I need to. This limitation is extremely frustrating.

Theme Based Search (Proton drive photos)
I propose adding a theme-based search in Proton Drive, similar to Google Photos, while fully respecting privacy. The idea would be to use a local AI on the device to analyze images and generate encrypted tags or indexes, used only for searching. This way, the images would never leave the device or Proton servers.
I’m not sure if this is technically feasible at scale, but with optimized LLMs and AI recognition models, it might be possible to find a balance between privacy and intelligent search, giving users a richer experience without compromising their personal data.

pure Video Links without Download option
I'd like to share my videos without making them downloadable. The download button should be optional.
When the shared link is clicked, the video should start playing directly in full screen.
Inexperienced users, and especially older users, won't realize they need to tap the (gray) button.
It should be as simple as possible.
