  1. New doc type: Notion-like database

    In addition to the existing text-based documents and spreadsheets (which I hope will be implemented soon), I would like to see another type of document: a customisable database view, similar to the one found in Notion.

    I.e.
    (1) a list / table view of items, that can be sorted, filtered and grouped,
    (2) customisable items (I can add fields of type text, number, date, selection, checkbox, linked items, etc.),
    (3) basic summation functionality (add up the value of a given field across all items).

    Even better: two different databases in one doc (think: two pages or tabs) where an item…

  2. Storage

    I think it is better to upgrade the free plan from 5gb to 15gb like google drive so it can catch more attention for newer users who used google drive and wanted a better alternative with more privacy.

  3. music streaming

    I see this has already been suggested, but music streaming like pCloud has. I'll likely go with pCloud for now, at least, but would prefer going with your company if the streaming were available. If encrypting music streams is too processor-intensive, you could give us the option to opt out of it for listening to music, maybe?
    Thanks.

  4. Allow Comments on File Timeline (audio/video)

    I’d love to see Proton Drive support timeline-based comments on audio and video files—similar to what Dropbox (paid tiers) and SoundCloud offer.

    Many professionals in media, post-production, and creative fields use file-sharing services to review drafts and exchange feedback. With timeline comments, collaborators could leave notes like:

    • “Adjust volume here (2:15)”
• “This transition at 0:42 feels too abrupt”
• “Love the tone at 1:05!”

    Use cases:
    • Music producers sharing mix drafts
    • Filmmakers reviewing cuts
    • Voice actors receiving client direction
    • Creative agencies gathering feedback on promos or reels

    There’s no privacy-first, end-to-end encrypted platform that…

  6. Keep playing audio when locking screen on Android.

    Today on my walk I was listening to demo's I made with my collaborator (I'm a music producer). I started the track and locked my phone so I can put it in my pocket. Upon locking the screen the track stops playing and I cannot launch it again from my start window (while phone is still locked).

  7. Strip All Metadata from Files Upon Upload to ProtonDrive

    For enhanced privacy, please consider adding a setting in ProtonDrive that allows users to automatically strip metadata from all files at the time of upload — not just during sharing. This would include EXIF data in images, as well as metadata in PDFs, Word docs, and other file types.

    The idea is to ensure that all files stored in ProtonDrive are clean of any potentially sensitive metadata (such as GPS coordinates, author info, device type, etc.) right from the moment they are uploaded — minimizing the risk of accidental exposure later.

    Having this as an optional privacy setting in the…

  8. Option to Strip Metadata from Shared Files

    When sharing files through ProtonDrive, it would be helpful to have a privacy setting that removes metadata from documents or files (such as author names, editing history, etc.). This would give users greater control over what information is exposed when sharing.

  9. Multi-select version history versions.

    When operating on specific versions of a file, it would be convenient to be able to select multiple versions to delete, download or restore.

  10. Automatic upload of files to Drive in the mobile app

    I have a folder on my phone, and I sync it with Drive, and all the files that have been synced are in that folder, and when I download new files to that folder on my phone, is it possible for those files to go directly to the Drive folder? An automatic upload to backup

    EDITED: Sorry, this may be misplaced, but here goes: I cannot get Proton Drive to install on my HP ENVY x2 - 12-e011nr laptop. It's an ARM 64 bit laptop (running Windows 10 for ARM), but when I try to run the official installer for ARM (1.10.1), Windows says "This app can't run on your PC"

    I've tried to run it as a local user, and an administrator, and I also ran the compatibility troubleshooter. No-go. Really disappointed with this

  16. Dynamic Chunk Sizing

    Many cloud storage services, including Proton Drive, already implement chunked file uploads to enable resumable transfers. However, a static chunk size may not always be optimal, especially for users dealing with fluctuating bandwidth, mobile networks, or satellite internet.

    To address this, I suggest the introduction of an initial network assessment upon first use of the app, which would:
    * Run a speed test to evaluate latency, upload/download speed, and packet loss.
    * Set a default chunk size appropriate for the detected network conditions.
    * Offer a manual override option for users to customize chunk sizes based on their preferences, or…

  17. More attention to Linux

    I really like Proton's solutions, but you're clearly failing to give Linux users their due! I currently use MEGA because it has a Linux client.

  19. Proton Photo +Proton Notes with duplicate/ similar photo cleaner app within

    What could really up the game here is a Proton photo app for Photos and Videos that automatically has a duplicate - cleaner service in it. The ability to tag/ like/ photos according to user face recognition/ gps location I am not sure how that could work with the privacy encryption but could be an optional section within the app. Just to make it easier to find/ catalog and tag pictures and remove duplicate pictures all in one. I can't think of anyone having implemented a duplicate/ similar picture- video cleaner in app.
