  1. 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!

  2. Allow realtime updating of an open file via Proton Drive.

    I would REALLY love to replace Microsoft OneDrive with Proton Drive. The one thing that's preventing me from doing that, though, is as a writer, OneDrive's ability to save/backup a Word document while I have it open and am working on it is crucial. If you could figure out a way for Proton Drive to do this, I'd be all over it.

  3. Bug - Date Selection in Proton Sheets via Calendar Selection broken

    There is a Bug with Proton Sheets (Non-US based location) where when you double-click a date cell and attempt to change it via the drop down calendar selection box, it will mix up the day and month selection and give you the wrong date (I imagine it is mixing up day/month in the order due to a mixup between US and European date formats, juggling mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy respectively).

    Example:

    I begin with a "Long Date" date format in my cell and have:

    Thursday, January 1 2026

    I then double click to bring up the calendar drop down and select…

  4. # 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…

  5. # 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…

  6. # 0105 Search & filter integration + “Topics” sidebar

    Hi Proton team,

    I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:

    Idea: Extend the existing search bar to filter by tag and add a permanent “Topics” sidebar that lists all user‑defined tags for quick navigation.

    Why it matters:

    • Users can instantly locate all items with a given tag without opening multiple folders.
    • The sidebar provides a visual overview of the tagging taxonomy, helping non‑technical users discover related content.
    • Complements the virtual Topic Map view and encourages consistent tagging practices.

    Suggested implementation (high‑level):

    • Index encrypted tag metadata locally and perform tag‑filtered search client‑side.
    • Add a collapsible “Topics” panel on the…

  7. # 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…

  8. # 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…

  9. # 0102 Dynamic “Topic Map” collections. Virtual “Topic Map” collections that aggregate tagged items

    Hi Proton team,

    I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:

    Idea: Introduce dynamic virtual collections (called “Topic Maps”) that automatically gather all files/folders sharing a given tag, regardless of their physical location.

    Why it matters:

    • Users can view all assets related to a project or theme in one place without reorganising folders.
    • Teams can quickly audit completeness of a deliverable set (e.g., “all assets tagged ‘Game‑Launch‑Q3’”).
    • Mirrors the “smart playlist” concept many users already know from music apps.

    Suggested implementation (high‑level):

    • When a tag is created, generate a virtual folder view that pulls in every item with that…

  10. # 0101 Tag‑based grouping. Topic Map based grouping(tags)for files/folders in Proton Drive

    Hi Proton team,

    I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:

    Idea: Add free‑form tags (Topics or controlled vocabularies such as AAT) that can be attached to any file or folder. Photos included.

    Why it matters:

    • Most users and certainly the professionals often have assets spread across many project folders; tags let them locate related items without moving files.
    • Tags act as lightweight metadata, enabling better project tracking and reporting.
    • Proton Mail already uses labels; extending a similar concept to Drive creates a consistent experience across the Proton suite.

    Suggested implementation (high‑level):

    • Store tags as encrypted metadata on the…

  11. Make indent+outdent buttons visible by default on mobile

    As a mobile Proton Drive user taking notes on a book, a podcast, or a lecture, I want to indent and dedent with a single button press so that I can efficiently take hierarchical notes. Proton Drive and Google Docs both have indent/dedent functionality. Google docs shows indent+dedent buttons by default on mobile. Proton Drive hides them in a menu on mobile.

  12. photos.proton.me

    As a moving user from Google to Proton and as a android user, I frequently use the photos.google.com to quickly access the google photos web site and get on my computer pictures I took on my smartphone.
    Could you please create a entry in your dns photos.proton.me that redirects to https://drive.proton.me/photos .
    This little redirect will offer a direct link to user's photos and will bypass 2 heavy clicks...

    thanks

  13. Proton Drive Upload files while in background

    Proton Drive needs to be able to upload files in the background. When I send large number of files to proton drive to upload, I can't dedicate the use of my phone to proton drive. kind of defeats the purpose of a multi-tasking operating system. Frankly, this worked before the first of the year, so I don't know what took a step back proton drive or IOS26. Which ever it is, please get this feature implemented.

  14. 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.

  16. Locking files / Hiding files on Proton Drive

    I would like Proton Drive to support client-side locked folders that require a secondary authentication step (such as password re-entry, hardware key confirmation, or biometric verification) before file is decrypted when signed in.

    This would prevent opportunities for opportunistic individuals to get access to the most sensitive files someone has when their proton drive session is opened.

  17. .Data convert between

    348
    Hi everyone, I'd like to suggest something, though I don't know if it's technically possible: is there a way to easily convert between Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PDF, LibreOffice (.odt/.ods/.odp), etc. files in Proton Drive?

    .docx <-> .odt <-> .pdf <-> .docx ....

    .xlsx <-> .ods

    Best regards, Syrato

  18. 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.

  19. Integrate Proton Docs & Sheets into a Proton Office suite app

    Instead of these being separate apps, why not integrate them into one app and call it " Proton Office suite ", Similar to how libreoffice is. Have an icon for each app. It could be made into a web wrapper app.

  20. Proton Drive: enable configuration change to default behaviour on file upload

    So when I click configure I can choose the theme and not much else. The ability to stop Drive from "helpfully" requesting to delete my existing file version when I upload a later version would be welcome and do a little to help with my blood pressure. I won't hold my breath.
