Map display for Photos (same as in IOS)
I know, metadata is deleted. But i would find it very cool, to leave the Place of the Photo and make some sort of Maps for Photos (where the Photo has been taken). Same like on IOS. Would appreciate that, since its a cool feature and the only purpose, i leave my Photos on IOS

Allow Proton Drive to use my smartphone's office app
Other drives like Onedrive and Google Drive give the option to use the smartphone's own office apps to open documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc...
I really miss that as I cannot open my sheets, for example, unless I download them. And if I make a change in them, then I have to upload it to the Proton Drive afterwards.
Sorry, but just to be clear. In those other drives like Onedrive, you do not need to download the sheet in other to open it and if you edit the sheet, then Onedrive automatically replace the older version as you save the…5 votes -
Proton Mail - Sorting custom filters
Being able to sort the custom filters based on alphabetical order like it is already possible to filter your Folder and Labels.
This would make sure the managing of multiple filters is easy and convenient.2 votes -
hide "saving" rotating wheel icon in proton docs
Please have an option to remove the spinning wheel "Saving" icon next to your document title as you type. It is distracting while thinking and typing. I have "disable animations" turned on in accessibility settings and so i was surprised to see the save icon still changes ever time i start or stop typing. It would be really nice to not have a constantly moving element right in my line of sight while I am working. Thank you!

File tags, tag views, and at-rest encryption
I'm currently a user of both Proton Drive and Standard Notes (SN). Both products serve different needs, but I can envision a world in which the best aspects of SN are merged into Proton Drive.
A big weakness of Proton Drive's local file sync functionality comes from the fact that all files must be sync'd and that there is no opportunity to keep them encrypted at-rest. While users can certainly introduce a separate encryption/decryption step to the process of manipulating files, this opens up a window of vulnerability in which any locally running application with shell access can read the…

Proton Docs: Virtual Collection or Notebook
In the Proton Docs app, enable users to add docs to collections. A collection ...
(1) ... provides a list view of all its docs (irrespective of their actual location within the Drive folder structure), and
(2) ... can be opened and edited in a single browser tab, e.g. by displaying each doc as a page (creating something like a notebook).Use case:
I maintain individual 'Overview' documents for topics such as: bank accounts, various insurances, summer holiday each year, etc.
Obviously, these documents are in separate folders within Proton Drive (alongside related materials like invoices).
Now, I’d like the…

“I’m very happy with Proton, keep it up! I know a spreadsheet app is being worked on for Proton Drive, but could you tell me when it will become available? I miss it a lot—so soon as possible would be great.”

# 0107 User‑friendly onboarding in Topic Maps for non‑technical users
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add clear onboarding tooltips, short tutorial videos, and example tag sets to help users who are not comfortable with metadata understand and adopt the new Tag/Topic Map functionality.
Why it matters:
- Reduces the learning curve for casual or non‑technical users, encouraging wider adoption.
- Prevents misuse (e.g., overly generic tags) by guiding best practices.
- Aligns with Proton’s mission to make privacy‑first tools accessible to everyone.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When the Tag button first appears, show a one‑time tooltip explaining “What is a tag?” with a “Got it” dismiss…

# 0106 Bulk‑tagging UI. Bulk‑tagging UI (multi‑select → “Add Tag”) for Proton Drive
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Provide a bulk‑tagging workflow where users can select multiple files/folders, right‑click, and choose “Add Tag” to apply one or more tags to all selected items at once.
Why it matters:
- Saves time for scientists, educators, and any power user who needs to label large asset libraries.
- Encourages consistent tagging because applying a tag to many items becomes frictionless.
- Mirrors bulk‑action patterns already present in other file‑management tools.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Extend the multi‑select toolbar with an “Add Tag” button.
- Open a modal where the user can…

# 0104 Permission inheritance for Topic Map virtual collections
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Make virtual Topic Maps inherit the most restrictive sharing permissions of the items they contain, with an optional override to set separate permissions for the collection itself.
Why it matters:
- Guarantees that a virtual collection never exposes a file to a broader audience than the file’s original sharing settings.
- Allows teams to create a “read‑only” view of a project while keeping the underlying assets private.
- Aligns with Proton’s zero‑knowledge model – permissions are enforced client‑side.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a Topic Map is rendered, compute the intersection of…

# 0103 Docs/Sheets creation from a Topic Map
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Enable users to create a new Proton Doc or Sheet from within a Topic Map, automatically inheriting the map’s tag(s) and sharing settings.
Why it matters:
- Project documentation stays logically linked to the same set of assets, reducing the chance of orphaned files.
- Teams can spin up meeting notes, design specs, or spreadsheets that are instantly discoverable via the same tag.
- Keeps the workflow inside Drive, avoiding the need to manually copy‑paste links.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Add a “New Doc from Topic” button in the Topic Map view.
- The…

I'd like to share a photoalbum.
I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

Backup macOS Photos to photos on drive
Would be great if the photos and albums in my photos app on my mac are backuped to drive photos. So then iOS phots are backup and macOS photos are backuped (I do not use icloud anymore because I do not trust Apple anymore). In this way I can have all my photos in 1 place.

Sync existing macOS folders
I miss the option to sync a folder that is not the default Proton Drive location in macOS. I think this is available in the Windows app.
Right now if I want to sync files with Proton Drive I need to copy them to the Proton Drive location in Finder.405 votes -
Make each tab remember and reopen at the last position/scroll location.
Please add a feature where each sheet/tab remembers and restores my last scroll/view position when I switch back to it, rather than resetting to the beginning every time. This would greatly improve my workflow. Thank you.

Allow saving Proton Sheets directly into locally synced Proton Drive folders
Currently, Proton Sheets documents cannot be saved into folders that are locally replicated via Proton Drive. This means any sheet created or edited in Proton Sheets remains cloud-only and is inaccessible from the local file system.
Being able to save a Proton Sheet directly into a synced folder — even as an auto-converted .xlsx — would greatly improve usability and make the ecosystem more practical for professional use.
Thank you for considering this.

Share folders and files with admin rights
Currently you can only share files with other email addresses as viewer or editor.
You should be able to share as admin with full rights: sharing, moving, deleting, ...
This goes for folders as well.7 votes -
Spreadsheet: protect cells at cell level. Just like Google Sheets.
Again a feature that I supposed to be standard in a spreadsheet. After all we don't want our customers to mess up the sheet. And they will if they can.

Offline support for documents on iOS
When I have no internet on my iPhone and I open Proton Drive, the spinner keeps going indefinitely even if I have offline documents. Having this flow defeats the purpose of having offline documents in the first place because when I am offline I cannot access them.

pictures in Proton Sheets
I know it's early, but until Proton office apps allow me to add pictures to sheets, docs, and slides I can't fully switch. Would love to see this added soon!
