  1. Sharepoint Alternative

    I know this is a big request but a sharepoint alternative would be amazing, having pages, lists and document libraries would get larger organisations over.

  2. Share files on MacOS

    Being able to share files or folders directly from Finder, just as we can already refresh or view a file or folder online with a right-click.

  3. Upload Only Sharable Link

    Right now, one can create a Proton Drive folder where people can have view-only access or view and edit access.

    One option I use all the time with a competitor is upload-only access. I provide a link to people where they can upload a file to me, but cannot see any other files in that folder. It's great way for people to send files to me securely, even very large files.

    The interface would allow someone to select/drag files in their browser, and enter some information about themselves (name and/or email address) and then hit "Upload". This would load those…

  4. QOL for Proton Docs: Headers and text default formatting

    I think it would be neat if we can set our preferred default fonts and text sizes for every NEW headers and subsequent texts.

    It's a hassle having to switch them over from Arial to the other fonts I'm more comfortable with.

  5. Replacing modified files on Proton Drive Android

    Since currently the only way to modify a file on Android is to download it, modify it, and then upload it, the fact that when you upload the modified file, instead of replacing it, it duplicates it.

    This makes things difficult because after the upload, you have to delete the previous file and rename the modified file.

    It would therefore be very useful if, when you upload a file already in the cloud, it was replaced instead of being duplicated. This would make things much easier.

  6. Add a setting to set additional paths for automatic photo backup

    Currently, the automatic photo backup feature on Android only looks for photos in the Camera and Screenshots folders. I'd like for there to be a setting to add additional folder paths that will be backed up, so that for example photos in my downloads folder will get backed up.

  7. File tags, tag views, and at-rest encryption

    I'm currently a user of both Proton Drive and Standard Notes (SN). Both products serve different needs, but I can envision a world in which the best aspects of SN are merged into Proton Drive.

    A big weakness of Proton Drive's local file sync functionality comes from the fact that all files must be sync'd and that there is no opportunity to keep them encrypted at-rest. While users can certainly introduce a separate encryption/decryption step to the process of manipulating files, this opens up a window of vulnerability in which any locally running application with shell access can read the…

  8. Proton Docs: Virtual Collection or Notebook

    In the Proton Docs app, enable users to add docs to collections. A collection ...

    (1) ... provides a list view of all its docs (irrespective of their actual location within the Drive folder structure), and
    (2) ... can be opened and edited in a single browser tab, e.g. by displaying each doc as a page (creating something like a notebook).

    Use case:

    I maintain individual 'Overview' documents for topics such as: bank accounts, various insurances, summer holiday each year, etc.

    Obviously, these documents are in separate folders within Proton Drive (alongside related materials like invoices).

    Now, I’d like the…

  9. Open and edit files directly in the mobile app (Android)

    Unfortunately, the Proton Drive Android app is pretty useless.

    It's essential that you can also edit files with it.
    When a file is opened (e.g., DOCX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, etc.), a suitable installed app should open to view and edit the file. When a change is saved, it should then be synchronized with Drive.

    This is how Google Drive and Nextcloud do it. I'm actually shocked that this doesn't work with ProtonDrive.

  10. 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.

  11. I'd like to share a photoalbum.

    I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
    The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.

    This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

  12. Proton Docs: download to docx and PDF does not work properly, format is messed up

    The formatting in Proton Docs looks beautiful, however as soon as I export it to docx, the formatting is messed up.
    Also, with the download to PDF the format is changed (puts content on 2 pages even though there would be enough space on one). I would expect the format to stay exactly as I see it in the Proton Docs when I export it.
    Therefore, it's not usable for printing a doc / exporting a doc. Currently, it's not an option to completely change to Proton Docs.

  13. Link sharing: Add "Request Access" Approval for Shared Links (Google Drive-style)

    Please add a "Request Access / Manual Approval" option for shared links in Proton Drive.

    How it should work:
    When someone clicks a shared link, they cannot immediately access the file / folder.
    Instead, they see a button like "Request Access."
    The owner receives a notification and can approve or deny each request, tied to the requester's email address.

    Why this matters:
    Prevents link leaks. Even if the URL is forwarded, only approved people get access.
    Gives owners more granular control, without relying only on passwords or expiry dates.
    Matches a feature users are already familiar with from Google Drive,…

  14. Incremental backup

    It would be good if the photo backup could be set to only backup new photos rather than all photos every time. Backing up 7800+ photos every time takes forever

  15. Backup Option to Tresorit (and possible to other secure clouds)

    I am using Proton Drive and TresorIt for redundancy. I would love to have way to backup a folder on Proton Drive to TresorIt. Ideally automatically.

  16. Improvement in Proton docs and version history

    I love how Proton Docs automatically keeps a version history of every change we make to a document. It would be great to give users the option to set the time interval for creating new versions for example, after each edit, after 1 minute, after 2 minutes, and so on.

    Currently, when I start a new document, each word I type generates a separate version. This quickly becomes overwhelming, making it hard to scroll back to a useful point in the history. While frequent versioning makes sense during focused editing such as correcting a document someone else sent or making deliberate revisions, it feels unnecessary…

  17. Fix the Disk Usage in Proton Drive

    The usage estimate in the web application of proton drive is still buggy. It shows much higher than what I have in my drive. I saw a reddit post about this that was posted 3 years ago, I don't know if it is already fixed and is an issue with my side of the application.

  18. Application folder with an API

    Have something similar to the Apps folder on Onedrive. Where Proton Drive has an API for applications that can automatically sync to. But by only having the applications folder have an API it keeps the rest of the Drive secure.

  20. See favorite photos in an album

    It would be incredibly useful if I could, within an album view, filter to just the photos I've liked/favorited. I take a lot of duplicate photos, so it's hard to tell at a glance which ones are the "good" photos for a particular trip.
