One Way Sync For Proton Drive Computer Backup
One of the primary reasons people are gravitating to Proton is for redundancy. There should be a way to set “two way sync” or “one way sync” for files and folders. Some files we would just like access to, while knowing we will not accidently move or delete them. I know that the “Trash” holds them for 30 days, but sometimes “fatal” errors can occur where files are totally lost, or corrupted. Additionally, in this vein, a new subsection of PD that functions as a read only computer or folder “backup” could solve this entirely. In conclusion, it would be…

Recent files list in browser interface

My case: Accidental mass changes and reversion, wanted to find the files whose changes I want to keep based on time synced. I can't get them back since I don't remember all of which files they were.

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!

Add delay + alert after failed password attempts on shared links
Problem description:
When sharing a file or folder with a password, there's currently no rate limiting – anyone can keep guessing the password without any delay.
Proposed solution:
I’d suggest two improvements:
Introduce a delay or cooldown after a few failed password attempts (e.g. 10–30 seconds after 3 wrong tries, or temporary lockout after repeated failures).
Send a notification (email or in-app) to the file owner when there are multiple failed access attempts. This would help users detect suspicious activity early.
These changes would greatly improve the security of password-protected shared content.
Thanks!

Proton drive mobile application for Mac
It would be nice if on Macs with apple silicon you could install the proton drive app directly from the app store. I am writing this because the current Mac app is completely different from the mobile app and I don't like the way it works. I prefer the app designed for mobile (iPad) and use it on Mac without having to use external apps for forced compatibility

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…

Integrate folder sharing with Proton Contacts on mobile
Current Behavior: When sharing folders or albums in Proton Drive with family members, I must manually type each email address. There's no integration with Proton Contacts, making the sharing process time-consuming and prone to errors.
Would be great to have more seamless integration between Proton Contacts and Proton Drive that would:
- Allow users to select contacts directly from their address book when sharing
- Support autocomplete functionality as users begin typing names
Even more, if Contacts would support contact groups, sharing to family members as a single group.

Create/Edit excel files in Proton Drive (EcoSystem)
It would be nice to edit/create excel files within the Proton Drive suite.
Same functionality as https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive, but then also for Excel instead of Word documents.

Inconsistant timelines
I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way dates are handled in the timeline view when updated via the Web interface.
* Photos use the "Photo taken date", while
* Videos use the "FIle modified date".This results in a messy and inconsistent timeline. To work around this on our end, we’ve had to delete all the videos, unify the metadata dates, and re-upload them. However, it seems odd that a different logic would be applied to photos vs. videos, so this feels more like a bug than something intentional.
With such approach, it is impossible to have the video correctly…

While in album: option to delete photo from album OR from drive.
It's much more convenient to select a photo in an album instead of in your complete photo collection.
So while selecting a photo in an album give te option to delete from album or delete completely.31 votes -
[mobile] Easier selection of multiple images
Current implementation: Currently, when dealing with albums in Proton Drive on mobile devices, users must manually tap each image to select them and add them to an album. Same applies also when selecting images in other views, regardless if intention is to add them to an album or not.
Issue: This process can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of images spread across multiple rows. The lack of a streamlined selection method makes it time-consuming to organize photos efficiently.
Proposal: It would be beneficial to introduce a more intuitive way to select multiple images. On mobile devices,…

Make "Stop sharing" available for more than 1 File. So you can mark all files you don't want to share anymore.

Photo albums needs love!
Photo albums currently have exactly zero options for sort customization. Please help!
The ability to sort by name or date ascending or descending would be greatly appreciated.
And album groups would be next level awesomeness. For example you could make a group called "Cats", but in it have different albums for each of your cats.
Keep up the amazing work!35 votes -
Pause Photo Backup Proton Drive
Pause Photo Backup
Proton Drive Android
Sometimes instant backup is inconvenient because:
I want to delete some photos and videos in a moment (deleting them on my phone and then on the cloud is imprecise and time-consuming)
I want to save battery power when I don't have anywhere to charge my phone right away.5 votes -
Speed Improvements For Photos
The Photos Feature is pretty cool. I don't do much with my photos, and I'm so close to just switching to it as my primary photos app (Just use it as a backup right now). However, the very slow speed of the photos loading when scrolling through is just unusable. I don't know what exactly causes it to be slow, but my guess would be the encryption. Perhaps use a faster standard like Ente does. Thank you for your time!

Ich möchte Fotos in einem Album direkt mit einer Whatsapp-Gruppe teilen.
Für Alben einen Link zum Teilen generieren, der auch über Messanger verteilt werden kann. Die Einzeleinladung per Mail ist nicht zufriedenstellend. Zusätzlich sollten die Rollen (Betrachter und Bearbeiter) genauer definiert werden. Kann der Betrachter herunterladen?

Enable option to untar/decompress tar[.gz] archives
Uploading a lot of files is not efficient. At least in my experience, it might take days to upload 10K+ small files distributed in multiple directories.
Would it be possible to allow the user to decompress/untar uploaded single/multiple
.tararchives ? This might help uploading data faster (multiple files in a tar archive). Implied is I guess an increased file size limit.3 votes -
Proton Drive meets Git
HiDrive allows turning folders into Git repositories, which is very helpful. It would be great to see a similar feature in Proton Drive — the ability to initialise Git repositories inside folders, with basic access via HTTPS/SSH. This would make Proton Drive even more useful for developers and advanced users.
