Add the ability to download a .protondoc document from the mobile app
Currently, in the mobile version it’s impossible to download a .protondoc file (why such an odd format in the first place?). I’m forced to go online (and even use the desktop version) to download the document. It would be great to be able to do this directly within the app.
It seems surprising that such basic features aren’t already implemented (just like the search function, which still doesn’t exist in the mobile app…).

Use a more widely known document format (.docx, .odt…) instead of .protondoc
I recently tried to edit a document offline with OnlyOffice from my Proton Drive folder (synced with my account), and to my surprise I found that the document wasn’t supported because its format was .protondoc !
Moreover, when I save a Word document as .docx on my computer and then edit it online, a second document is created in the .protondoc format, and again it can’t be edited with OnlyOffice because the format isn’t recognized !
Why doesn’t Proton use a more common format? Is this a constraint of end‑to‑end encryption?

Allow photo album ordering based on actual photo EXIF date or by album title
Right now I cant reorder my albums. Now they are in LIFO mode (last in first out) which means that If I have album from year 2024 an then I upload photos from 2007 (takeout from Google Photos) this album from 2007 will be in my list higher then the 2024. Enable order by title names (so I can put into title name year) or by photo EXIFs to do it automatically for me.
Thx

Allow for altering Documents inside Drive app
Right now I'm having to go to the web page to access Proton Docs to edit them. Strange there's no way to edit Docs from within Proton Drive, and there's no download for a Proton Docs app.

Copy/pasting Docs files in Proton Drive
Maybe a minor thing for some but it doesn't seem to be possible to copy/paste Docs files within Proton Drive so they work. At least mine won't sync, even though I do. I have my patients fill out questionnaires by opening a Proton Drive public link and fill out a Docs file. This problem forces me to continuously create new empty docs and paste into them.

Access photo as any other directory of the Drive
Photos and usual Drive seems to be orthogonal, it would be awesome to be able to have the Photos as any other directory in the Drive.
So far, I have my automatic backup of photos from the phone that lands in the Photos part and my legacy photos that are well organized altogether in a directory on my Drive. It would be great to have everything accessible as a directory.

Mutual proton drive
I have a Proton Duo subscription shared with my wife, and I’d like to know if it’s possible to have a single, mutual Proton Drive that both of us can access and manage — rather than using shared folders between two separate Drives.
In other words, can we have a truly common Drive space for both accounts within the Duo plan, where we both have equal ownership and access rights?25 votes -

An option to lock down Drive access on computer
In addition to Proton Drive, I have a premium pCloud account with their encryption option.
If Proton Drive provides a secured online storage with encrypted transfers and encryption at rest, pCloud Encryption provides in addition a mechanism which allows locking the local vault on the computer for sensitive documents.
Sure the computer session has a password but it would be nice to see such a complimentary option for Drive. I believe pCloud opens up some sort of virtual network drive. I don't know if Proton Drive does the same thing and if the current implementation would enable this.The Proton…

Paste Markdown into Docs
You support copying from Docs as Markdown. But copying markdown into Docs doesn't convert it to formatted text—it stays in markdown, making it hard to read.
Please extend copying markdown to a two-way - copying from docs as markdown and pasting markdown to docs.
Quite useful if copying from a markdown editor like chatgpt, github or else to Proton Docs

Manual sync
It would be great e.g. for photo/video backup on phones, if we could manually trigger syncing of data from the phone to Drive. It's not everything I need synced; could be I take a funny photo to send to a loved one, but it's not something I want to waste drive storage on.

chromebook
Please add Chromebook's to the list of available devices that can sync files. I don't want to have to sit and upload every folder/file from the web interface or app as it is very time consuming. Having PD sync with Chromebooks would be very beneficial, especially to those of us who are trying to DeGoogle and only have access to a Chromebook.

Multi account on Proton Drive PC application and access history in docs by email
Multi accounts on Proton Drive PC application (like Proton Mail) would be very helpful for users who have more than 1 account to manage, we need to make loggout and login again on Drive creating every time a new folder in PC w/ different names to access the documments on the cloud. it makes everything confuse and impractical.
Additionally, I suggest to implement an access history for docs by email/PC-ID and an easy buttom to download the registers (for controllers/creators) - very useful for business access control and compliance.

Photos section - let us choose what types of files will be backed up
When some photos in my iPhone gallery has been for example color corrected or copped the backup tends to include unmodified original as well as modified version and it is quite annoying when I’m interested to have only modified version, if you would give us some settings menu with checkboxes where we can choose if unmodified originals should be backed up it would be nice, and there is room for more settings like live photos or maybe someone would want to exclude screenshots or videos,..and cool setting might be to backup only photos older than XY days because I tend…

Allow Proton Drive to use my smartphone's office app
Other drives like Onedrive and Google Drive give the option to use the smartphone's own office apps to open documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc...
I really miss that as I cannot open my sheets, for example, unless I download them. And if I make a change in them, then I have to upload it to the Proton Drive afterwards.
Sorry, but just to be clear. In those other drives like Onedrive, you do not need to download the sheet in other to open it and if you edit the sheet, then Onedrive automatically replace the older version as you save the…5 votes
