Scheduled Photo Backup: Let users choose WHEN to upload, not just IF
The problem:
Proton Drive currently backs up photos the moment they are taken (when on Wi-Fi). This sounds convenient, but in practice it creates a real issue: photos you take and delete within minutes — screenshots, temporary reminders, blurry shots — all get permanently backed up to the cloud before you have a chance to review them.For privacy-conscious users (which is exactly Proton's audience), this is counterproductive. You end up with a cluttered photo library full of junk you never intended to keep permanently.
The request:
Add a scheduled backup option in Settings → Photo Backup, with choices such…10 votes -
Proton Docs text formatting
There is currently no option to format paragraph or line spacing, which would make Proton Docs much more useful in my personal and professional life. Because there is no option to, I find myself returning to other vendors with similar products. Please bring better text formatting to ProtonDocs!

Simple finename search
Currently so search files within ProtonDrive (web) you need to index the entire drive content, which can take a long time.
I understand that local indexing is necessary for zero-access reasons.It would be nice to have a simpler search (only on filenames and metadata?) that could be ready in a fraction of the time.
Searching within files content is good, but sometimes having a quick name or date search is all you need.8 votes -
Basic and Advanced Word Processing Functionality, rulers, formatting, menu bar, etc.
The word processor is a cornerstone to any productivity or office suite of apps. Please add basic features like rulers, standardized consistent tab settings, paragraph/line spacing/other formatting features, ability to visualize formatting characters (eg: paragraph, indent, etc...) menu bar with functions that have been around for decades, etc.. Just look at Word Processor functions that have been around for decades and implement them in a standardized yet functionally designed way. (do not copy google docs, that is a horrible example)
This is a place Proton can excel and even take over market share as a collaborative document app because Google…

Allow hiding the user email in Proton Docs to avoid leaking personal data
When sharing a document created in Proton Drive with another person, if the Proton user makes a comment, the original email of the account e.g., user@protonmail.com is leaked. This is a problem in my view, particularly when an inbox has multiple aliases and domains and the user does not want to leak their personal Proton email. Please allow users to hide this information altogether when sharing documents or at least choose which alias to display. Thanks.

Proton Drive App (Android,...): Search function for file names
Please add a search button in the Proton Drive file view. For example I have a document repository stored on Proton Drive with a folder "invoices" with 765 elements where I would like to be able to search for "fridge" to see how old my current fridge ist. Or search for "paint" to find out which product I exactly used to paint my home.

Proton Photos - Web - Hide photos in marked albums from main view
I use my "main" photos view as a way to scroll back through the memories of my life.
Some pictures, like screenshots of things or photos of receipts or "private" photos, I do not want to see these in my main list. They clutter this view and make it ugly.
I propose adding a "Hide these photos from the main view" checkbox to albums, that hides photos in these albums from the main view once they are added to it. This would allow my main view of photos to stay clean.
Additionally, hiding these from the main view would make…

Proton Brain: Zero-Knowledge Second Brain with Card UI (Like MyMind)
Made with Lumo...
Build a privacy-first PKM app that combines MyMind's frictionless card interface with Proton's zero-knowledge encryption.
THE PROBLEM:
Existing second-brain tools force you to choose between privacy and usability:
- Notion/Evernote: Great UX but no encryption, data harvested for AI
- Obsidian: Privacy-focused but DIY sync, no built-in AI
- MyMind: Beautiful card UI but opaque privacy practices
- Standard Notes: Encrypted but dated interface, no visual organizationTHE SOLUTION:
Proton Brain—a card-based knowledge system where everything you save (notes, links, images, PDFs, emails) becomes a single unified card in an infinite grid. No folders required. No manual…4 votes -

IOS 26.1 Background image upload
Apple is providing the ability to upload images in the background in 26.1, can we expect Proton Drive to finally upload pictures in the background?

"Move to trash" option inside the album view
At the time of writing there is no way to move to the trash photos while previewing them inside an album. This makes deleting photos very annoying because I have to scroll to the date in the timeline where the photo was taken to actually delete it. I'd strongly suggest to enable the "move to trash" function when working with album elements.

Proton sheets - in cell formatting
Would be great if it would be possible to apply different formatting to words in cells. For example, a cell currently is either bold or not-bold. There's not way to accentuate a few words in the cell by making those bold while leaving the rest not-bold. I assume the same applies to other formatting options.

Search should find folders in addition to files
When searching proton drive, it doesn't appear to find folders with the search word in the folder name. It would be better if search found folders as well. Its common to have downloads with unmemorable names grouped in a folder with a memorable name. If search doesn't find the folder, it can be very difficult to find the desired files.

Improve Downloading and uploading speed
i know that proton drive has robust security and i think that is why probably the download and uploading speed is very slow compared to other solutions like mega. Proton Drive would be top notch with a more robust server speed. i think that 50 MB/s would be very good starting point for example.

Ordering of Photo Albums and Creation of sub-Albums
In Proton Drive's Photos, please make it possible to order user-created Albums and to create sub-albums. Minimally, the albums should order by file name. As things stand, the user has no control over the order in which albums appear. It should also be possible to display them as a file list (not large icons). Use Apple's Photos as a model. I'm keen to abandon Apple's app (and all its irritating facial recognition and fake nostalgia), but no way, not until have have more control over my albums. Thank you

Typescript SDK that uses OAuth instead of username/password
Google Drive and Dropbox have typescript SDKs that allow me to use them as file storage backends for e.g. an "offline only" app that does not have a backend. Google Drive is messy to use because you have to reauthenticate a lot. Dropbox is really good and has worked great for me for months now. But Proton Drive doesn't have an OAuth SDK so I can't use it because having a privacy-focused offline only app means users who care about privacy will use it, and if they have to enter their proton username and password they will probably not use…

Add photo to album without opening the album
Currently, when I select photos and then add them to an album, this album is opened. So, when I want to add further photos to the album, I need to go all the way back to the photo overview and find the place I left. It would be great if there was an option to add photos to an album while staying exactly where one is in the photo library.

Mount Proton Drive as a Virtual Disk / File System Integration for Windows
I am a Proton Plus subscriber, and as a paying customer I expect a user experience and level of integration similar to what most competing cloud storage services already provide regarding backup and file synchronization.
I use Proton Drive not only as a backup tool, but also as a working storage location.
However, there is currently no option to mount Proton Drive as a standard virtual disk on Windows — for example as drive “P:\” in applications that interact directly with the file system.This feature is essential for professional and productivity-focused workflows because it would:
make the entire Drive…
