  1. Notion-Like Document Editor (including databases)

    Situation:

    Docs an Sheets are awesome, but they are quite slow and fail to capture memo-like or dynamic-structured content. Both are basically printing formats.

    Problems (some):
    - UI is slow in general. Loading time is very slow.
    - Sheets doesn't support views of a sheet. So you always have to look at all the data (yes, there are clumsy workarounds).
    - Sheets handles linebreaks, text overflow, column datatypes not well (because it's not supposed to, I think)
    - Docs always shows all

    Suggestion:
    - Provide a document (format) for a Notion-like editor.
    - Support databases like notion does (not inter-document…

  2. Automatic Substitute Feature

    A feature where we can manually add substitutions. For example, I like to use em dashes in my writing (—) but it's difficult to do on my regular keyboard, so I used the substitute feature in the other docs I use to automatically substitute "--" to "—" and use it with other things, too, like adding accented letters automatically onto names (turning eon to éon for example). I know there are keyboards out there that can do it, but I've never been able to find one that works conveniently enough for my writing, and this is a relatively minor but…

  3. make Proton Photos reachable from Mac file browser (Finder)

    It's already possible to access to the files stored in the area "My files" in the Proton Drive from the Mac file browser (finder), however the photos stored in "Photos" are not reachable from the Finder, therefore it's not possible to work on the images with an editor software without having to download the file from the drive first.

  4. Sheets - inputing parameters for formula with keyboard resets previous formula

    I input the formula, in my example it is: '=VLOOKUP('

    Then, with keyboard, I select a cell with proper key, as the syntax of the formula requires.

    Then I input ";" and start selecting the cells for the second parameter.

    However, when I do this, my next selection replaces the previous parameter instead of adding the second one. It makes keyboard-centric workflow simply impossible.

  5. Archive photos on the Library function of Proton Drive

    Is a killer feature for my use case and it's the possibility of selecting a photo and send it to a separate album called Archive that hides it from my photos timeline to keep private when I'm sharing my gallery to others.

    I could access the Archive with a separate password or also just reusing FaceID or any other authentication method.

  6. Writing @today in Proton Docs automatically includes today's date or a date picker.

    I propose a feature where writing @today automatically includes today's date. The date can then be selected and show a calendar to change dates.

    This feature helps speed up daily standup date inclusions in a doc to organize our meeting notes.

    This feature already exists for example in Google Docs and is a great time saver.

  7. Cloud-only Mode as the Default for Windows

    Hello Proton Drive team,

    Please consider making Cloud-only mode the default behavior for the Windows app, similar to the Android app.

    Files should remain only in the cloud by default and should only be downloaded when the user chooses to open or download them. Users who prefer local syncing could enable it in Settings.

    This would save disk space, improve privacy, reduce unnecessary local file copies, and provide a cleaner, more consistent experience across devices.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion.

  8. Colab

    I observed that some universities across Europe relays only on Google Colab to make, test, synch, share code during their classrooms.

    The idea is to have some kind of interface, similar to what google does, to be able to develop code, test it's functionalities, store sources at drive (text based files), and even better if Lumo can help developing code as Gemini does.

    Having such a tool can be a good argument to induce EU agents to switch from their current US based big techs providers, to a secure development platform, thinking in necessary privacy for research and investigation topics.

  9. 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.

  11. Proton Docs - Remember last position on mobile

    Whenever I open a Proton Docs document on my phone in Proton Drive, I am presented with the beginning of the document. When editing long documents, I always have to scroll down indefinitely to find the position I left off.
    It would relaay be a nice feature, if Docs could offer me a "start at last position" option like MS Word mobile does.

  13. Proton Docs: Convert footnotes from docx to Docs files and show comments on download

    1. I work in Ulysses (Markdown) and export to Word, store the docx files in Proton Drive and share with a collaborator, and we work together in Docs. While passages marked with the "::" code show as highlighted in docs, footnotes created in markdown, which show up in docx, do not show up in Docs files.

    2. There seems to be no way to download a docs file in any format and have the comments made in the docs file show up in the downloaded file. If there is, please let me know. If not, please consider adding this feature. Thanks.
      Please…

  14. Consolidated Download Notifications for Multiple Files

    When downloading files one by one, the app currently creates a separate notification for each file. This quickly clutters the notification area and makes it inconvenient to track how many files have already been downloaded.

    It would be better to group these into a single notification that updates with the current count of downloaded files, or alternatively replaces the previous notification with a new one showing the updated total.

  15. When currently editing a document when you have many documents open, it would be handy if I knew the location open document

    I am a YouTube creator, and I often have many documents open at once, and sometimes I don't recall what folder the document I'm working on is in. It would be very help full if you could include the folder structure location of any document I'm working with. For example: Production\Voiceovers\ or Product\Scripts or Production\Premiere Pro\AI Prompts\Scripts, etc. Signing up for ProtonDrive is one of the Best Decisions I've made, thank you for your work!

  17. Proton Sheets - Allow Charts to be moved to different sheets

    I would really like charts to be able to be moved/pasted to different sheets. There are extremely limited cases where I would want my charts on the same sheet the data is stored on, so this is severely limiting their usability for me.

  18. Manual data upload/download management

    Would be great to manage and control uploading tasks manually too. For example upload priority, queue order, etc. auto-pause for certain files / folders.

  19. Migration/Import tool for Google Sheets

    I am trying to de-Google but it is exceedingly difficult to migrate my Google Sheets. There is no way to import apart from exporting as xlsx files, uploading them to Drive, then within the Drive web UI, opening them in Sheets. For simple ones, I tried copying/pasting the entire sheet, but it loses all formulas and effectively pasts only values.

  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.
