Photos and videos, albums - Slideshow, preloading, without trans effect, direction
With preloading so that the next photo is displayed in full.
Without transition effects, making it easy on the eyes and allowing the photo or video to be seen immediately.
Option to choose the order so that it is not from newest to oldest, but as the photos were taken.
The order could be based on the order of photos in the album, but currently it is not possible to set an order other than newest to oldest in albums, which is usually the opposite of what is desired.7 votes -
Video
Besides playing video, it’d be a big step up if the video player could play the sound that comes with it as well. Otherwise I have to download the video from Photos each time I want to re-watch it.

Keep the direction of photo viewing after deletion
When viewing photos in one direction, delete a photo, continue in the same direction (as in the Gallery on a Samsung phone).

Photos: make it possible to add to album and delete from within the previewer
Pretty self-explanatory. Painstaking to go back after watching a video to add it to an album or delete it. Thank you!

Proton Codes
Hi, could you add a separate code section to my files, like Proton Photos? Finding the code I've written in my files is really difficult and time-consuming. To avoid this, I'd like a section that only displays the code, similar to Proton Photos. This would be a good alternative to GitHub or GitLab. I'd love for ProtonDrive to be the world's first cloud storage app to support programming languages. I'd also like for the code to be displayed with a progress bar showing the usage rate for each language, just like GitHub. Trust me, Proton users will love Proton Codes…

PIN/Password (instead of a long password) in Proton Drive Windows apps (like the Proton Pass app)
The PIN feature in the Proton Drive app is great for shared devices or work use, so no one else can access my Proton Drive app.

Delete trash
Allow users to access and delete trash in the desktop app. Ideally I’d also like to have an indicator showing how much of my used space is in the trash

Windows App fuctionality
I would like to see on all the functionality you see on the web browser access page into the windows APP. If I install the Windows app, I think is logic to have the rich sharing, moving and other functions right there without the need to open a browser, log in, etc.
I feel without all the functionality, the app defeats the purpose of installing it. Especially if my Proton folder is located into a different drive. For some reason the APP is blocked in local Windows generic folders.2 votes -
worm - Write Once Read Many
I would like to request support for a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) archiving feature with integrated retention expiration management.
📌 Feature Description
The goal is to enable secure data archiving where files are immutable for a specified retention period, after which they become eligible for deletion or further processing.🎯 Key Requirements:
WORM compliance: Data should be written once and remain unmodifiable during the retention period.Configurable retention policy: Ability to define retention duration per object/file at creation time.
Automatic expiration handling:
After the retention period, the system should allow:
Automatic deletion
Manual deletion (if desired)
Archival transition to…

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…

“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…
