  1. Search by Album Name in Mobile App

    It would be extremely helpful for users who have dozens—or even hundreds—of photo albums to be able to search by album name in the mobile app's 'Photos' section.

  2. file manager

    A file manager based on proton, the default android file manager is a mess and even google files is pretty lame and not easily navigated, on windows "files" app is a good alternative for file manager and on mac the default is pretty decent and there is eagle both for mac and windows but it is not available for android or ios, it would be good to see something like eagle for phones and computers both integrated with proton drive like icloud on ios and mac

  3. Selecting which cloud-based directories or folders to sync to your local device

    This feature allows you to select which cloud-based directories to sync to your local device. This is great for shared/office devices, as it allows you to only access specific cloud-based folders on your local device. This prevents someone from seeing the entire contents of a cloud-based directory or folder (OneDrive has this feature).

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  7. Make Photos on Drive more like a Photo Viewer over File System

    The photos viewer is nice but it would still be good to view the photos as normal files as part of the file system and makes them syncable to computers.

    This would allow the user to manipulate the photos once they're in Proton Drive and limited to the UI. Once you upload them, it's almost like they're inaccessible to anything but viewing.

    It would also allow the user to organise/rename/edit the photos on their local computer rather than them being "hidden" away and only accessible in the UI. Although there are albums for organisation, folder based organisation would also be…

  8. Notes Standard available from within Proton Drive and option within Standard Notes to save to your Proton Drive

    I am just now starting to use Standard Notes which was brought to my attention at Proton site, I would like to be able to have the option to save directly to my Proton Drive Files and be able to access Standard Notes from within my Proton Services when I'm using them.

  9. Sharing .vcf cards - Unpleasant UI experience

    • When sharing a .vcf contact file via Proton Drive, the preview page expands the entire vCard text, making it hard for non‑technical recipients to locate the download button.
    • Desired behavior: Show a generic file‑icon with a prominent “Download” button (similar to how PDFs or images are presented), or automatically trigger a download for pure data files.
    • Impact: Improves usability for sharing contacts, event invites, and other vCard‑based data with friends, family, or business partners.

  10. Command line access to the Proton Drive folder (mount point) on MacOS

  11. Music

    Proton music (I know there's one other post, but I want to add other features)

    open source cloud drive based, like Spotify, file steamer

    We have files and photos section in drive app

    Why not make an song section?

    IT would take files within specified directory and put in an player UI

    Also have hand off to remote control and sync devices, save YouTube id to import, retrieve comments and create shareable playlists with other users

    Search metadata, lyrics, track local plays for year review

    Ofc, user must own the files from CDs or whatever

    I've gone trough many players…

  12. It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first.

    It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first. This is a very important feature for your privacy-focused target audience, so it doesn't make sense to hide it in the settings and FORCE the user to make their private data public during the set up phase. It should be on the share screen and very obvious. In fact, you can make a whole separate option so that it is mutually exclusive with the publically accessible link toggle.

  13. Add light theme for Proton Drive desktop app

    The Proton Drive desktop app currently only supports a dark theme. Other Proton apps (Mail, Calendar, Drive web) already allow theme selection, so it would be great to have the same here.

    I realize dark themes are more trendy, but for me they have a negative effect - I feel more tired and even sleepy when using them. In bright rooms the reflections also make it harder on the eyes. A light theme helps me stay more productive and matches the rest of my system.

  14. My Files - Rename or Remove

    It looks like all files go into a top level directory called "My Files." Having a space in a path name can cause problems in some software tools and is more difficult to traverse on the command line. I would like to be able to rename the folder to something without a space, or eliminate it completely and manage the top level tree myself.
