set print area in sheets
Great work on docs and sheets, they look great so far.
In Sheets I'd like to see a set print area function. I have many sheets where I only want to print out certain areas and I currently can't do that (unless I'm being blind?).
Many thanks.

Selectable language/region formatting in proton docs
It is very annoying that when I edit a proton doc (spreadsheet), all the numbers and dates are using a US format, despite my Proton Drive account being set to Danish language.
Please add the option for the user to select the formatting of dates and numbers that they want to use, regardless of what language their browser/account is using.5 votes -
Format currency cells according to the currency symbol entered
If I enter "£3.00" in a cell, Proton Sheets will turn it into $3. It changes the currency but also removes the decimal places I entered. This feels kind of broken. I don't see how or why this would be expected or acceptable behaviour.

Windows App fuctionality
I would like to see on all the functionality you see on the web browser access page into the windows APP. If I install the Windows app, I think is logic to have the rich sharing, moving and other functions right there without the need to open a browser, log in, etc.
I feel without all the functionality, the app defeats the purpose of installing it. Especially if my Proton folder is located into a different drive. For some reason the APP is blocked in local Windows generic folders.2 votes -
Option to make drive folders (containing photos) visible in the photos album section
While there are many similar tickets regarding this topic, i just wanted to add my specific request, ignoring the often posed usefulness question of treating the photos section completely separate to the overall file section.
With this current structure in place, I would love to have the option to mark whole folders in "files", making them visible in the Photos Album section. In my case, I store my Photo backups in Proton Drive, organized by a certain folder structure. (mostly organized by year/location/event) While i don't want to clutter my photo album section with all these photos stored in Files,…

Mobile app photos should be viewable in the proton drive desktop app
Currently the only way to see files backed up from a mobile app is to open up the proton drive web app. This is incredibly cumbersome and there should be a section in the proton drive desktop app where we can access those photos.

Activities should never clear and be openable
In the Proton Drive app, the activity section only shows files that were just uploaded and will then clear the history. You also can't click the files to quick open them up. I think Activity should be more like a "recents" tab that shows most recent edited files for quick access where you can just click to open them.

Proton Mail - Sorting custom filters
Being able to sort the custom filters based on alphabetical order like it is already possible to filter your Folder and Labels.
This would make sure the managing of multiple filters is easy and convenient.2 votes -
Photo backup over Ethernet
When backing-up photos over Ethernet (on my Android smartphone) the Drive App displays the hint "Waiting for Wi-Fi" and suggests to use cellular data instead.
Feature Request: Recognize an Ethernet connection as equally useful as Wi-Fi and don't display the hint described above.

hide "saving" rotating wheel icon in proton docs
Please have an option to remove the spinning wheel "Saving" icon next to your document title as you type. It is distracting while thinking and typing. I have "disable animations" turned on in accessibility settings and so i was surprised to see the save icon still changes ever time i start or stop typing. It would be really nice to not have a constantly moving element right in my line of sight while I am working. Thank you!

Allow realtime updating of an open file via Proton Drive.
I would REALLY love to replace Microsoft OneDrive with Proton Drive. The one thing that's preventing me from doing that, though, is as a writer, OneDrive's ability to save/backup a Word document while I have it open and am working on it is crucial. If you could figure out a way for Proton Drive to do this, I'd be all over it.

Bug - Date Selection in Proton Sheets via Calendar Selection broken
There is a Bug with Proton Sheets (Non-US based location) where when you double-click a date cell and attempt to change it via the drop down calendar selection box, it will mix up the day and month selection and give you the wrong date (I imagine it is mixing up day/month in the order due to a mixup between US and European date formats, juggling mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy respectively).
Example:
I begin with a "Long Date" date format in my cell and have:
Thursday, January 1 2026
I then double click to bring up the calendar drop down and select…

# 0107 User‑friendly onboarding in Topic Maps for non‑technical users
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add clear onboarding tooltips, short tutorial videos, and example tag sets to help users who are not comfortable with metadata understand and adopt the new Tag/Topic Map functionality.
Why it matters:
- Reduces the learning curve for casual or non‑technical users, encouraging wider adoption.
- Prevents misuse (e.g., overly generic tags) by guiding best practices.
- Aligns with Proton’s mission to make privacy‑first tools accessible to everyone.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When the Tag button first appears, show a one‑time tooltip explaining “What is a tag?” with a “Got it” dismiss…

# 0106 Bulk‑tagging UI. Bulk‑tagging UI (multi‑select → “Add Tag”) for Proton Drive
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Provide a bulk‑tagging workflow where users can select multiple files/folders, right‑click, and choose “Add Tag” to apply one or more tags to all selected items at once.
Why it matters:
- Saves time for scientists, educators, and any power user who needs to label large asset libraries.
- Encourages consistent tagging because applying a tag to many items becomes frictionless.
- Mirrors bulk‑action patterns already present in other file‑management tools.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Extend the multi‑select toolbar with an “Add Tag” button.
- Open a modal where the user can…

# 0105 Search & filter integration + “Topics” sidebar
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Extend the existing search bar to filter by tag and add a permanent “Topics” sidebar that lists all user‑defined tags for quick navigation.
Why it matters:
- Users can instantly locate all items with a given tag without opening multiple folders.
- The sidebar provides a visual overview of the tagging taxonomy, helping non‑technical users discover related content.
- Complements the virtual Topic Map view and encourages consistent tagging practices.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Index encrypted tag metadata locally and perform tag‑filtered search client‑side.
- Add a collapsible “Topics” panel on the…

# 0104 Permission inheritance for Topic Map virtual collections
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Make virtual Topic Maps inherit the most restrictive sharing permissions of the items they contain, with an optional override to set separate permissions for the collection itself.
Why it matters:
- Guarantees that a virtual collection never exposes a file to a broader audience than the file’s original sharing settings.
- Allows teams to create a “read‑only” view of a project while keeping the underlying assets private.
- Aligns with Proton’s zero‑knowledge model – permissions are enforced client‑side.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a Topic Map is rendered, compute the intersection of…

# 0103 Docs/Sheets creation from a Topic Map
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Enable users to create a new Proton Doc or Sheet from within a Topic Map, automatically inheriting the map’s tag(s) and sharing settings.
Why it matters:
- Project documentation stays logically linked to the same set of assets, reducing the chance of orphaned files.
- Teams can spin up meeting notes, design specs, or spreadsheets that are instantly discoverable via the same tag.
- Keeps the workflow inside Drive, avoiding the need to manually copy‑paste links.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Add a “New Doc from Topic” button in the Topic Map view.
- The…

# 0102 Dynamic “Topic Map” collections. Virtual “Topic Map” collections that aggregate tagged items
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Introduce dynamic virtual collections (called “Topic Maps”) that automatically gather all files/folders sharing a given tag, regardless of their physical location.
Why it matters:
- Users can view all assets related to a project or theme in one place without reorganising folders.
- Teams can quickly audit completeness of a deliverable set (e.g., “all assets tagged ‘Game‑Launch‑Q3’”).
- Mirrors the “smart playlist” concept many users already know from music apps.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a tag is created, generate a virtual folder view that pulls in every item with that…

# 0101 Tag‑based grouping. Topic Map based grouping(tags)for files/folders in Proton Drive
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add free‑form tags (Topics or controlled vocabularies such as AAT) that can be attached to any file or folder. Photos included.
Why it matters:
- Most users and certainly the professionals often have assets spread across many project folders; tags let them locate related items without moving files.
- Tags act as lightweight metadata, enabling better project tracking and reporting.
- Proton Mail already uses labels; extending a similar concept to Drive creates a consistent experience across the Proton suite.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Store tags as encrypted metadata on the…
