  1. View and edit docs without an account

    It would be cool if anyone with a shareable link could view and edit the document, similar to google docs for example.

    This would greatly lower the barrier for me to use it regularly, as I could share it when planning events or doing a group project with people that don't have proton accounts.

    I genuinely believe docs is a way better experience to use for most things I would usually use word/google/etc. for, and this would allow even more people to get familiar with it.

  4. Add a Shared Spreadsheet (like MS Excel) to Proton Drive

    It's great that you guys added a version of Word to Proton Drive, but we also really need a version of Excel. If you could make it a shared version (where more than one person can work in it/edit it at the same time) that would be even better! Please add this.

  5. Fix Proton Drive Photo backup date recognition

    Currently, when backing up or uploading photos to Proton Drive, it ignores Date Created and Last Modified dates, and instead seems to use the uploaded date as the date in the photo timeline, meaning migrating to Proton Drive for all photos results in loosing the timeline previous to the upload date, as all images are now stored on the same date.
    An improvement would be to use either the files date created or last modified dates to designate where it should be on the Proton Drive timeline
    Thanks

  6. Add an option to create a table of contents in Proton Docs

    Please add an option to create a table of contents (a summary) in Proton Docs.

    A table of contents is very useful for presenting a summary of the various elements, such as a report or specification.

    Thank you Proton for your work.
    Regards,

  7. 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.

  8. Proton Integrating existing FOSS Software (LibreOffice and others)

    Proton has started making Proton Docs and that ecosystem which is great but the FOSS world already has the likes of LibreOffice and others. Integrating them into Proton would show Proton cares about FOSS but also gives Proton Users the option to use other open-source software right into Proton's Web UI.
    Adding the option to open docs files in a web LibreOffice Editor would be amazing. I think Proton can and should build their own Docs and etc ecosystem but they should also integrate others that are FOSS, ethical and privacy minded.

  9. 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.

  10. Shared with me Folder on Mobile app (iOS/Android)

    There's no Shared with me folder on the iOS app, if it's on Web it should be on the mobile app too.

    It would be great to have it as well in the Finder on Mac, for now it just shows my own files but not the ones shared with me

  12. Auto-delete trash in Proton Drive

    Proton Drive's trash bin ought to have an automatic expiry feature similar to the one in Proton Mail. It's not even deleting the things I delete off my computer's backed up folders, I keep having to go in and manually empty trash.

  13. 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…

  14. Option to keep a local copy of synced Proton Drive files on computer ("file mirroring" rather than "file streaming")

    On MacOS, Proton Drive 'streams' files: there is no local copy, but files can be searched and downloaded on request.

    With 'mirroring', there is also a local copy on your hard drive. This is for instance useful for:

    • Backing up Proton Drive files locally
    • Accessing files if there's no internet connection

    Google Drive offers you to choose between 'streaming' and 'mirroring' for every folder in your Drive. That would help getting the best of both worlds.

  15. Folders in photos

    I would love the ability to create folders in the photos section of Proton Drive.

    Note that I'm NOT looking for the ability to create albums or tags, but to actually create folders within the photos section as a way of organizing my pictures.

    This was a feature that I used in Dropbox to manage a large amount of photos, and I was frustrated that it wasn't available in Google photos. I'm hoping that you can add it to Proton Drive (along with a smoother docs experience) to make it the best backup offering out there.

    Along with improvements to things like line spacing and line numbering pointed out by other users, an essential feature for academic purposes is the ability to use reference managers like Zotero, Mendeley, etc.
