  1. Do not upload duplicate files

    When I upload a file that already exists with the same name in the same folder, it is uploaded with a sequential number added. It would be better to do as other competitors do, i.e. warn that the file already exists and ask whether to upload it as a duplicate or not.

  2. FSP (File Storage Provider) support for iOS and iPadOS

    There is support for FSP on macOS for Proton Drive, however it is missing for both iOS and iPadOS. The consequence is that I cannot add a Proton folder as location in for example iA Writer. The net effect is that any file stored on Proton Drive that I want to open, must be manually found through browsing from the root of my Proton Drive. With FSP support on iOS and iPadOS any folder should be available immediately in the interface.

    The missing part in the implementation is full folder sharing support in said protocol.

    It works flawlessly on macOS.…

  3. Scatter plots in Sheet

    Please add scatter plots as a chart option in Sheets. I use them to visualize the risk‑return profile of investment portfolios.

  5. Better photo management

    It would be great to have another layer of privacy for the 'photos' tab. When I go to the 'photos' tab, all my pictures are out in the open. Anyone behind me can easily see them. The album section is the same because it shows a thumbnail. It would be good if we could:
    1. create private folders to store photos in or make certain photos private
    2. add an additional layer before looking at pictures. (like 'My files' - you can create a folder before seeing your files)
    3. a way to activate/deactivate the picture preview

  8. Options for shared folders for uploading.

    It would be useful if, when sharing a folder, you could specify the maximum upload size and set restrictions on file types.

  9. Proton Drive , run as a service at computer start up

    Is it possible to setup Proton Drive as a service at computer startup?
    Or give the ability that it can be configured that way with a program like Firedaemon Pro ? I have a remote computer gathering weather data 24/7, I have now to login after a restart to start Proton Drive.

  10. Multi-selection for dropdown menus in Sheets

    Only one selection can be made for dropdown menus. In Google Drive, multi-selection is possible. I need this option to make the switch.

  11. Limit date range on photos backup

    Currently the photos backup feature for proton drive appears to be "all or nothing", uploading all photos on a device at once. It would be very convenient to be able to set a date range for backup (or really, set any parameters controlling which photos get backed up).

  12. Keyboard shortcuts

    I would love to see keyboard shortcut support in the web version of Proton Drive. Out of habit, I always press F2 when I want to rename a file (same as in Windows and other Microsoft products, it has also been implemented in Google Drive).

    It would also be nice if e.g. Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A on macOS) selected all files/objects in the current view.

    Using the arrow keys (up and down) to move the selection from one object to the next. Extending selection of files by using the arrow keys (up and down) while holding Shift.

    Alt+Arrow up to traverse…

  14. Add Photos tab to proton Drive sync

    Proton Drive only syncs files in the "My files" tab. I want to be able to sync the the files in the "Photos" tab to my computer, so that I can organize and edit my photos with the applications of choice on my computer, and sync them back to the Proton drive cloud, using it as a backup and for image viewing. I think this could be an alternative to making the web version of Proton Drive to a complete photo editing tool.

  16. Upload more than one file at a time

    Several files (3–5) should be uploaded at the same time.
    If there is a very large file among them, it would be helpful to upload smaller files in parallel.

  17. Add ability to free up space by deleting backed up photos from device

    The Android app (and iOS, too, probably) already has the ability to back up photos to Proton Drive. What would be really helpful, and for feature parity with Google Photos, is a "Free up space" option that would simple delete photos from the device that have already been backed up to Proton Drive. You could do Google Photos one better by having an option to do that on-the-fly, as well, instead of it being a manual process.

  18. Hide Microsoft Office temporary files from Recent Activity and Trash

    When using Microsoft Office with Proton Drive sync, temporary Office files such as ~$filename.docx appear in Recent Activity and Trash.

    These files are automatically created and deleted by Microsoft Office during normal operation, which creates unnecessary noise and clutter in activity/history/trash views — especially when working with many documents.

    Other cloud storage providers such as OneDrive or Dropbox seem to suppress them from user-facing views.

    It would greatly improve the overall UX if Proton Drive ignored or hid known Microsoft Office temporary files entirely.

    Additional thoughts:
    • If deletion/recovery notifications are enabled, they are triggered whenever Word closes a document.…

  19. Currently, when backing up photos from a smartphone

    Hello Proton Drive Team,
    I wanted to share some feedback that I hope will be useful to you.
    Currently, when backing up photos from a smartphone, the folder structure is not preserved in the cloud. All photos end up mixed together in one place (or with very limited organization), even though they are neatly sorted into thematic folders on the phone (e.g. Vacation 2025, Family, Home Projects, etc.).
    It would be really helpful if Proton Drive respected the original folder structure. This would allow us to find the folder names directly in the cloud without having to reorganize everything manually.…

  20. Support "Bring Your Own Storage" (BYOS) / Private Storage Nodes

    Dear Proton Community and Development Team,

    We, the undersigned, propose the introduction of a "Screwdriver Tier" that allows users to leverage Proton's world-class encryption and UI while hosting the physical data on their own hardware. This "Bring Your Own Storage" (BYOS) model would transform Proton into a secure bridge for private infrastructure.

    1) The "Screwdriver" (Self-Hosted) Tier:

    Private Storage Nodes: Allow users to connect local NAS (Network Attached Storage), home servers, or massive external drives to the Proton Drive ecosystem via an encrypted tunnel.

    Proton as the Interface: Use the official Proton Drive web and mobile apps to browse, share,…
