1. Normalize file names to NFC Unicode on sync to fix macOS–Windows compatibility with Korean characters

   [Problem]
   macOS stores Korean characters using NFD (Canonical Decomposition), while Windows and Linux use NFC (Canonical Composition). When files with Korean names are synced between platforms, the differing Unicode normalization forms cause file name conflicts, duplication, or sync errors.

   [Root cause]
   macOS HFS+/APFS decomposes characters into constituent jamo (NFD). The same Korean string has a different byte sequence on macOS vs Windows/Linux, even though it looks identical to users. This is a known OS-level behavior, not a user error.

   [Requested fix]
   Normalize all file and folder names to NFC before syncing, regardless of the originating OS. This is the approach used by Dropbox, Google Drive, and others to prevent this class of issue.

   [My story]
   - I live in Korea (a country with terrible privacy laws) and I have no local alternatives. I know i must be a minority but this would help me greatly

2. Bug - Date Selection in Proton Sheets via Calendar Selection broken

   There is a Bug with Proton Sheets (Non-US based location) where when you double-click a date cell and attempt to change it via the drop down calendar selection box, it will mix up the day and month selection and give you the wrong date (I imagine it is mixing up day/month in the order due to a mixup between US and European date formats, juggling mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy respectively).

   Example:

   I begin with a "Long Date" date format in my cell and have:

   Thursday, January 1 2026

   I then double click to bring up the calendar drop down and select the 6th of January. This updates the cell to be:

   Monday, June 1 2026

   The logic is taking the input of 6/1/2026 (Non-US format) from my calendar selection and translating it into the US format, giving me June 1st, not January 6th.

   Further when I select a date above the 12th (out of bounds month in the US format) it breaks the logic and it gives me a slash/separated non-date result.

   So from my new date of Monday, June 1 2026, I select June 18th from the calendar drop down and get:

   18/6/2026

   This result appears on the left-hand side of the cell, no longer indicated to be a date, it appears to be plain text. Double clicking does not bring up the date calendar. As such it appears to have broken the logic and ceased to be a date.

3. # 0105 Search & filter integration + “Topics” sidebar

   Hi Proton team,

   I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:

   Idea: Extend the existing search bar to filter by tag and add a permanent “Topics” sidebar that lists all user‑defined tags for quick navigation.

   Why it matters:

   • Users can instantly locate all items with a given tag without opening multiple folders.
   • The sidebar provides a visual overview of the tagging taxonomy, helping non‑technical users discover related content.
   • Complements the virtual Topic Map view and encourages consistent tagging practices.

   Suggested implementation (high‑level):

   • Index encrypted tag metadata locally and perform tag‑filtered search client‑side.
   • Add a collapsible “Topics” panel on the left side of the Drive UI, showing each tag with a count of matching items.
   • Clicking a tag opens the virtual collection view (see Feature 2).
   • Take into account later Topic Map extensions like Occurrences and Associations

   Thank you for considering this addition.

   Best,
   Mat Huppertz

   (Part of a series of related suggestions – see #0101, #0102, #0103, #0104, #0105, #0106, #0107)

5. Make indent+outdent buttons visible by default on mobile

   As a mobile Proton Drive user taking notes on a book, a podcast, or a lecture, I want to indent and dedent with a single button press so that I can efficiently take hierarchical notes. Proton Drive and Google Docs both have indent/dedent functionality. Google docs shows indent+dedent buttons by default on mobile. Proton Drive hides them in a menu on mobile.

8. Saved and existing images in the cloud

   Images that have already been uploaded to the cloud should then be clearly visible under Photos. If you have many folders with images in the cloud, they should be organized and visible as albums under Photos. Otherwise, the feature is useless for many people.

9. Upload photos as zip files, or allow one-time import from Google

   I'm in the process of switching off of Google's G-Suite, and moving my photos/videos off there, and into Proton Drive. Google Photos is nice because you can download a bunch of files into a zip file to save bandwidth. It would also be nice to upload that raw zip file into Proton Drive to save upload bandwidth. Upload speeds are usually much slower for folks too, so this would be really helpful.

   Alternatively, it would be great to do a one-time import of photos from Google Photos, and just be done with it :)

   Thanks!

11. Ability to opt out of certificate pinning

    I want to use Proton Drive on my work computer but I can't because my work computer is secured with deep packet inspection, i.e. they have set it up to be a "man-in-the-middle" and can inspect all my encrypted traffic. Proton Drive protects against this (presumably via certificate pinning) and will not sync files up or down if the certificate is not correctly coming from Proton. This is a great security feature and I'm glad it is implemented, but it means I cannot use Proton Drive here at work. It would be nice if I could go into the settings and opt out of this feature on this specific machine. I am aware that this would mean that my files would not be private from my work's IT department, and that's totally fine with me--none of the files on here need to be private from them and, in fact, some of them are directly related to work, anyway.

    Other related thoughts:
    1) It would be OK with me if I was prompted every time I reboot the computer that the certificate is not from a valid source and do I want to proceed with what may be a man-in-the-middle attack
    2) It would be cool if there was an easy way to allow the certificate from the security scanner at work, but no other "invalid" certificates (that is, we always allow the correct Proton certificate, but we can add other certificates as a whitelist to allow them as well. Anything else is automatically blocked, as it does now).
    3) It would also be cool if there was a way to mark specific files or folders as not requiring the official/valid/pinned certificate, but all others continue not to sync if the cert is invalid. Perhaps there is a special "DMZ" folder that a user could opt-in to.

15. Prompt lumo in docs (with diff view)

    I would like to make adjustments in Proton Docs with Lumo similar to ChatGpt Canvas mode. So I can prompt Lumo in Proton docs, and it makes the adjustment. Ideally, the adjustment gets highlighted as a diff, like with working with LLMs in Cursor or Windsurf, so I can accept or reject the changes.

    This would allow me to ditch Chatgpt for writing docs. Because currently I copy often Proton docs into Chatgpt, iterate there via Canvas and then copy it back.

17. Ensure I can select and upload multiple files and folders at once, without having to upload files one by one (mobile)

    Currently the mobile app on IpadOS and Android doesn’t support the upload and of an entire folder of files or photos. It also doesn’t support an easy way to multi-select files via a swipe, like the Os prescribes.

    Use case: When I export photos from Lightroom I want to upload them in bulk. Currently, on the web, I can use the OS-Level multi-select behavior to launch an upload of an entire folder. On the apps this is not possible, especially on IpadOS this functionality is very rudimentary. Without this feature, the apps are useless for me.

20. Hide identity of uploader

    Currently, a publicly shared folder in proton drive shows the address of whomever uploaded it, and this address cannot be changed to a different one than that originally tied to your account as far as I can tell.

    This can be gotten around by uploading from a private window with no login, however it would be nice if it was simply an option to change or hide the identifier, at least for those who the folder is shared to or used a public share link.
