1. Add the possibility to not sync shared folders or encrypt on device

   I would like the possibility to limit the Drive synchronization on any device of the person I share a folder or a document with, based on email accounts:
   Person X can synchronize, Person Y cannot, can only access through a browser.

   It would also be nice to be able to limit the download of shared directories/files, on account bases.

   Another solution / addition would be to systematically encrypt all the synchronized files/folder.

   Since I don't know how secure the device of the person is, I believe that the current solutions put data at risk.

   Thanks for your nice job!

2. Inconsistant timelines

   I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way dates are handled in the timeline view when updated via the Web interface.
   * Photos use the "Photo taken date", while
   * Videos use the "FIle modified date".

   This results in a messy and inconsistent timeline. To work around this on our end, we’ve had to delete all the videos, unify the metadata dates, and re-upload them. However, it seems odd that a different logic would be applied to photos vs. videos, so this feels more like a bug than something intentional.

   With such approach, it is impossible to have the video correctly sorted, unless you upload the original file ever created.

   Ideally, we hope this can be resolved on your side, so we don’t need to re-upload everything again.

   Thanks in advance for looking into this!

3. [mobile] Easier selection of multiple images

   Current implementation: Currently, when dealing with albums in Proton Drive on mobile devices, users must manually tap each image to select them and add them to an album. Same applies also when selecting images in other views, regardless if intention is to add them to an album or not.

   Issue: This process can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of images spread across multiple rows. The lack of a streamlined selection method makes it time-consuming to organize photos efficiently.

   Proposal: It would be beneficial to introduce a more intuitive way to select multiple images. On mobile devices, a gesture-based selection feature such as long presses, sliding, or other, allowing quickly selecting multiples of adjacent images.

4. Add a Taskbar Flyout Window in Proton Drive when clicking the App Icon on the taskbar

   OneDrive has a flyout on the taskbar that shows it's sync status and settings without opening the full app. It would be great if Proton Drive offered something similar.

5. File syncing and versioning

   Is there file versioning already? If there is I don't see how to use it.

   I also need new versions to be uploaded from multiple devices with the same file name. My use case is to back up game data for terraria to restore if necessary.

6. Priority Downloads

   Similar to when updating an application on IOS it would be great when I'm already downloading multiple files at once I can select one to prioritize in the download queue.

   On example use case is the user is downloading their music library or photos but needs access to a critical document quickly but it is stuck at the end of the download queue. You just have to wait until all the other files are finished downloading before you can access that document.

7. Cloud Media Settings on Android

   You can configure cloud media settings on Android.

   Here you can specify which cloud media should be displayed when an app or website asks you to select photos or videos.

   Google Photos is listed here by default. However, you can also change it to "None."

   It would be great if Proton Drive appeared here as well.
   Could you consider this?

9. Longer expiration data period when sharing a Proton Drive file

   Maybe there is some technical obstacle that You do not offer longer link expiry date when sharing a file? It seems to be just a few months maximum, while I would like to set the expiry like 2 years from now. Ideally also ticking option to also delete the file once the period is over.

10. Request for Malware Scanning Feature in Proton Drive and Sync

    I've noticed that Google Drive recently introduced a feature that scans for malware and ransomware, automatically blocking the upload if any are detected. Could Proton consider adding a similar feature to Proton Drive Sync? It would be incredibly helpful to have this protection in place, scanning files as they are being uploaded. This way, if a file is infected, Proton could block the upload and pause the sync.

    I currently use Bitdefender and find it fantastic, but integrating such a feature directly into Proton Drive would enhance security for both the sync application and the cloud storage itself.

11. A thought on spreadsheet architecture (from a grateful user)

    Hi Proton Team,
    First off, I want to say that what you've built with Proton Docs is genuinely impressive. End-to-end encrypted spreadsheets that actually work is no small feat, and I really appreciate the engineering that went into making this happen.
    I've been using your spreadsheet app and thinking a lot about architecture lately. What you've accomplished is amazing—truly. But I also believe that trying to build the same thing in different ways can teach you a lot, even if you never ship it. I wish I could rewrite all my own apps in every language and framework just to see what I'd learn. But if I had to choose just one thing to rewrite, one experiment that felt like it might reveal something fundamental... I'd rewrite a spreadsheet app in SolidJS.
    I know how this sounds. It feels a bit like suggesting someone reconsider their religion, and I've been hesitant to even bring it up. And look—I could be completely wrong about this. I don't know your codebase. I don't know what you've already tried or what constraints you're working under. I'm looking at this from the outside, and I'm sure there are a hundred things I'm not seeing.
    But here's the thing that keeps nagging at me, and I could be completely wrong about this—I don't know all the facts of your architecture or the constraints you're working under—but: spreadsheet cells are literally signals.
    I mean this in the most fundamental, computer science sense. A cell holds a value. When that value changes, dependent cells recalculate. That's it. That's a signal. And React... React doesn't really think in signals. It thinks in snapshots and reconciliation.
    Right now, when I edit a cell in your spreadsheet, React has to:

    Re-run component functions
    Build a new virtual DOM tree
    Diff it against the old tree
    Figure out what changed
    Update the DOM

    Or at least, that's how I understand it works. I could be missing optimizations you've implemented that I can't see from the outside. But in principle, a spreadsheet cell doesn't need a diff. It knows exactly what changed—its value. And it knows exactly who needs to know—the cells that reference it.
    This is where signal-based reactivity (like what SolidJS uses) becomes almost eerily perfect for spreadsheets. Not because SolidJS is "better" (I know how loaded that word is), but because the mental model matches the problem domain exactly:
    A1 = 5 // This is a signal
    A2 = A1 * 2 // This is a computed signal
    When A1 changes, only A2 updates. No diffing. No reconciliation. No re-rendering parent components. Just: "A1 changed, tell A2." That's it.
    I realize I'm oversimplifying massively, and maybe I'm missing something fundamental about why this wouldn't work in practice. I know you've got virtualization, you've got workers handling crypto, you've got complex state management for collaboration, and you've got a whole ecosystem built on React. There are probably architectural decisions I'm completely unaware of that make this harder—or maybe even impossible—than I'm imagining.
    But I also can't shake this feeling that you're fighting React's fundamental architecture every time a cell updates. You've done an amazing job making it work (seriously, the fact that it works as well as it does is a testament to your engineering), but it's like... you've built a beautiful house with the wrong foundation for the soil type, you know?
    Or maybe I'm completely off base. Maybe React is actually perfect for this and I'm just not seeing it.
    Here's what I'm actually suggesting (and please feel free to ignore this):
    Maybe it's worth experimenting with a signal-based approach for just the grid layer? Not a full rewrite. Not even for production. Just... to see. To learn what happens when the mental model aligns so perfectly with the problem. It could be SolidJS, or Preact Signals, or even a custom implementation. The framework doesn't matter as much as the fundamental reactivity model.
    Because I genuinely believe you'd learn something valuable, even if you never ship it. Sometimes the act of building the same thing differently reveals insights about the original that you couldn't see any other way.
    And if the theory holds—if signals really could be 5-10x faster for spreadsheet operations (which the benchmarks suggest, though I know benchmarks lie), and if they use significantly less memory—then for something like Proton Docs, which people use for work, where performance and reliability matter, those insights might be worth exploring. Even if it just confirms that React was the right choice all along.
    I know this is a big ask, even as an experiment. I know you have a roadmap. I know React works and has a huge ecosystem and hiring is easier and a million other practical reasons to stick with what you have. And I'm not saying you're wrong for using React—it was probably the right choice when you started.
    But if I could rewrite just one of my apps to learn something fundamental about architecture, it would be this. A spreadsheet in signals. Because it just... fits.
    I'm just saying... spreadsheet cells are signals. And sometimes when something just makes sense at that fundamental level, it's worth exploring. Even just as an experiment.
    Or maybe it's not worth it. Maybe you've already run these numbers and they don't add up. Maybe there's something about signals that breaks with encryption, or collaboration, or some other piece I can't see from here. I genuinely don't know.
    Again, I love what you've built. I'm rooting for you. And if you've already considered this and decided against it—or if I'm just fundamentally misunderstanding the problem—I completely understand.
    Thanks for listening to my rambling.

    Hi Proton Team,

13. Photo Sync - Customizable time table

    Currently, Proton Drive (Photos) allows users to back up their photos, including over mobile data, and specifically select where they are uploaded from. But, daily, many users take pictures or screenshots to send to friends and family only to delete them minutes later. Or, take multiple pictures of a single event just to pick out what they like the most and delete the rest. If users don't go into their photo backup regularly, it can be swamped with tons of pictures that users need to parse through and get rid of.

    Would it be possible to allow users to select a timetable/schedule to upload their pictures and reduce clutter and constant maintenance?

    Example:

    Settings menu > Photo backup > Enable photo backup.
    A grayed-out dropdown menu underneath is enabled with the following options:
    - Automatic (default)
    - Every 1 hour
    - Every 24 hours
    - Every 7 days
    - Every 30 days

15. Render Photo Captions/Titles from the Photo's metatdata

    (a) When viewing the photo gallery, optionally, display the photo's caption/title.

    This would have to be done carefully as there are many candidate places in a photo that a "caption" of sorts is stored: jpeg caption, jpeg title, etc..

    (b) The ability to edit the "caption" metadata and then modify the source file.

    This means that all the effort that goes into captioning photos would not be lost as the edits would "stick" with the photo. If completed, this would make Proton Photos better than any other cloud Photo applications - as all the other store the caption away fro the photo and it gets lost when you want to later download the photo which locks you into that platform forever. So much so, that people often don't bother with captions.

    (Because of the encryption at rest, This may have to be done by the client app and the modified file then re-uploaded.)

16. Next/Previous on photos

    Could you change the "next/previous" controls for viewing photos so they are on the left and right edges of the image (like in Google Photos and other services), instead of having the arrows at the top?

    I honestly can't get used to Proton's top arrows. It breaks my usual behavior pattern and logic, and I constantly feel lost. And on a tablet, it's just painful to use.

17. Enable automatic resolution adjustment of photos to save space

    The automatic sync of photos from a phone to Proton Drive is very useful. The Drive space fills up fast though because the photos resolution is kept unchanged when backing up a photo to Drive.
    It would be very useful to add a feature (allowing the user to activate or deactivate it) to automatically adjust the resolution of the back-up to save space. In the vast majority of cases, a much lower resolution than the original photo is more than enough, so this would save many users a lot of space.

19. Replacing modified files on Proton Drive Android

    Since currently the only way to modify a file on Android is to download it, modify it, and then upload it, the fact that when you upload the modified file, instead of replacing it, it duplicates it.

    This makes things difficult because after the upload, you have to delete the previous file and rename the modified file.

    It would therefore be very useful if, when you upload a file already in the cloud, it was replaced instead of being duplicated. This would make things much easier.
