1. Proton Drive in-app Editor & Viewer

   Hey everyone,
   I've just have an idea for the entire Proton Drive application for (at least) Windows.

   If you added a folder or Files, you might be already known, that you can't edit or view the staff inside the Drive App.
   So, for example; you've just added or created a .txt or somethings, you have to press on the "folder name" e.g. "My Files", and then it open the File explorer of Windows, probably as well on Linux and Mac but i don't know.

   So, it would be great to view some files like .txt or some other staffs like Pictures or else.

   Also to edit and and a better organization, to add and Delete stuff inside the app itself. At the moment (or i am just blind) can't add/Edit and really delete stuff (Moving to trash).

   Maybe, add a button for a "Create..." which give you the opportunity to create a .(proton)docs and maybe some more.

   Inside of the "Activity" tab, it should also show the user which files are deleted, or it should be deleted after deletion of inside of the cloud. Like with a symbol of a "X" or "trash can".

   Thank you for the Programs!

2. Download and Upload speed limiter

   In EU most of the countries has bad internet over ASDL, so limiting upload and download speed while syncing files is important, because to big upload can kill whole home network download and vice versa. For example on speed asdl like I have I can upload 2000Kb/s but without limit it can go up to 2300kb/s which kills my internet connection. So I can only use cloud disks which had these limiters build in. For example, Mega, Dropbox, OneDrive and Tresorit has it, but not proton.

3. Simple way to clone a template folder with subfolders in Proton Drive online

   I’m running a solo physiotherapy practice on Linux (Zorin OS) computers and Android tablets, and I rely on Proton Drive to store all patient documentation in a structured folder hierarchy.

   It would be incredibly helpful to have a built‑in “Clone Template Folder” feature that lets users duplicate a pre‑configured folder (with subfolders, permissions, and naming conventions) for each new patient and then personalize it. This capability would streamline onboarding new cases and keep the workflow consistent, especially for users who don’t have a native Linux desktop client and must work primarily through the web interface.

   Implementing such a feature—perhaps via a right‑click “Duplicate as Template” option or a simple API endpoint—would greatly improve productivity for many professionals using Proton Drive on Linux.

4. Allow Photos in Proton Drive to have their date overwritten

   Reason for this is Proton Drive sometimes gets the dates wrong from correctly dated photos. If like in google photos, we can overwrite the date if can fix the sorting of your images

5. Improve preview speed of document

   I find that Proton Drive is the best in the market in my preference. But I'm using it to deliver project to my client. The slow speed to preview, especially video and photos, makes it almost impossible to make my client happy.

   Please do something, we need Proton.

7. Download Folders or Files locally via the Proton Drive IOS App

   The ability to download folders on the Proton Drive IOS app to local storage not just available offline in the Proton Drive IOS app.. Currently I have to share the folder I want and then visit the web link and then download the folder. This really gets rid of the need for the IOS app

10. Allow rename of file when saving on Android app

    When saving a file on Android by "sharing" from another app, you can choose the destination folder but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the name of the file before you upload it.

    Suggested feature: by tapping on the current name of the file, you can change the name before tapping upload.

11. File management paradigm change

    Hum... I can't edit nor delete my first post about that, so I try republishing it... 🤔

    ♻️ File management paradigm change
    This is a repost (deleted my former suggestion) as suggested by another user, to make it more clear, thank you. ❤️
    I'm a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest technologies since 40 years.

    Unfortunately, I still see very old concepts and ideas still being implemented today by default, not because they're good, but because we're suffering from operational blindness.

    🌏 Context
    Managing files for users has not changed since 40 years: You work on a file and at some point you need to save it somewhere. You can chose drive C, D, ... then folder and subfolder A, B, C or library Documents, Music, Pictures, Photos, Videos and, oh gosh, this file should go into folder G and at the same time into the Documents library... Aaawww... 😵‍💫

    And there begins of all our data mess.

    💡 Idea
    Users shouldn't be bothered anymore to have to think of where they store their data (once of course they consciously selected a trustworthy service provider like Proton 😜), only how they can find them again. This would be consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy. 👍🏼

    They should only be offered the possibility to tag/label their files (manually, AI-automatically?) in order to find them easily later with views (flexible, not hard coded like a distinct Photo library for instance 😉).

    ✅ Reflection points
    I'd like ProtonDrive to consider:

    • merging all types of documents (office, audio, video, etc) into a single environment (as opposed to the Documents/Photos distinction)
    • allowing the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS (for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps)
    • providing labels/tags management (add, remove, batch rename)
    • integrate these labels/tags within the files metadata without changing their modification date (as opposed to libraries systems strongly linked to products and service providers)
    • providing views management (add, remove, rename) based on the aforementioned labels/tags/keywords
    • providing a functionality to generate a folder structure based on views for portability (today I'm happy with Proton, tomorrow maybe not anymore, and I wouldn't want a migration nightmare with the risk of loosing years of organization)

    Thank you for considering shaping a futuristic UX with an open and portable file system management post-GAFAM and service provider independent! 😍

12. Tags or labels for files and folders

    I would love to have the ability to better organize my files in Proton Drive by using labels or tags, independently from folders.
    For example, being able to tag a file as both “Project A” and “Budget” would make it much easier to find and group related items across different folders.

    This feature already exists in Proton Mail and works wonderfully for organizing emails by topic or context — it makes daily use much more efficient.
    Having a similar labeling system in Proton Drive would greatly enhance productivity, search, and overall organization, especially for users managing multiple projects or shared files.

    In short, tags would bring flexibility that traditional folder structures can’t provide, while staying true to Proton’s privacy-first philosophy.

13. Kindle integration

    For those with a Kindle, the only options for integrated cloud storage are Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive. Would be great to have a more secure option with Proton Drive.

    A small market of course, but thought to try by adding it here :)

14. Photos sections improvement in Mobile App

    1) Make the Photos section also include all photos that are stored in the user’s other Drive folders, not only those that have been synced from the phone.

    2) As it already works on the web version: allow users to upload photos directly from their device into the Photos section and also from the Albums section (currently you can only add to Albums photos that have already been synced).

    3) Allow users to manually add a folder path for image files to be synchronized.

15. 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…).

16. 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?

17. 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.

20. 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.
