  2. 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:

    1. 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).

    2. 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!

  3. 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

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. [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,…

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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?

  16. 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 .tar archives ? This might help uploading data faster (multiple files in a tar archive). Implied is I guess an increased file size limit.

  17. 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.

  18. please make "always available on this device" the default or configurable

    To keep it short, because my previous idea was just deleted:
    Please make "always available on this device" the default, or at least configurable, so that I don't have to select "always keep on this device" for every new file on my local system (to make the light green check mark a dark green one).

    (but why has my previous idea been deleted without any notion while it was a serious effort from my side???)

  19. Would love a .gitignore-like feature for file sync

    I’d love to have a gitignore-style ignore file when syncing a folder from a computer. It would make it easy to exclude certain files or subfolders from being synced useful in cases like development folders where some content (temporary files) doesn’t need to be uploaded.

    I'm considering moving away from GitHub for my personal projects I’d prefer not to store them there anymore. But right now, I don’t have a better solution that keeps everything in sync while letting me exclude unnecessary files. That’s why a feature like this would really help.

    Apologies if this isn’t in line with the…
