1. Allow syncing to same folder location for multiple windows/macOs/linux user accounts

   I am working with two different user accounts on my windows machine. One for work, one for personal stuff. I want to use the Proton Drive for both accounts. Unfortunately when I tried to set up Proton Drive on the second account to sync with the same folder I got an error message instead:
   "Invalid sync folder: The folder must be empty before setting up sync"

   It wouldn't make any sense to choose a different folder and have everything twice on my computer

   Might be related to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50135475-reconnect-desktop-app-to-existing-folder

5. Enable importing photos from Google Photos and Apple Photos

   I want to be able to import photos in a batch when moving from Google Photos or Apple Photos as uploading with mobile Drive takes too long with bigger amount of photos and not all photos are in mobile to be uploaded due to memory limitations.

6. Heading (chapter) navigation

   I make documents with lots of chapters, which I use headings for. There should be an outline or heading select to more easily navigate the document.
   Also, when hyperlinking text, I should be able to link to a header in that same doc so I can make my own table of contents (so people reading .pdf can also navigate easily).

   Finally, it'd be nice if we could save our own custom heading styles in some way.

7. Proton Docs Bulk Download

   There needs to be an essential feature to bulk download Proton Docs into a readable file format of your choice. Allowing the downloader to choose a default file time (Adobe, Word, etc.). For purposes of downloading multiple files at once for ease and convenience. And for purposes of being able to do a convenience manual backup to a local hard drive.

11. Proton Docs: Tables- Adding "Combine / Merge cells" & "Delete cell(s)"

    [Request for Proton Docs: Tables]

    Could you guys consider adding the ability to "combine cells / merge cells" & "delete cell(s)" for Tables in Proton Documents?

    This feature would be extremely helpful for:

    I. Notetaking- creating more customizable & legible tables that can quickly & easily be referenced again in the future.

    II. I ask Lumo a lot of "How-to" questions & found that pasting Lumo's responses directly into Proton Docs works well bc the text copy-pastes over pretty close to its source-formatting.

    To create a Header Row with only one Column Header cell intact (eg, In a 3-column table, keeping the leftmost Column Header cell intact & deleting the center & rightmost Column Header cells).

    III. To create one merged row of cells (eg, in the 4th row of a 3-column table with 10 rows).

    IV. To merge/combine two adjacent row cells together for simplification to make it easier to reference the table data in the future.

    I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you!
    And, Happy New Year, Proton! =)

12. Open/edit md/docx/odt files in Proton Drive without creating a separate Proton Docs file

    As above, it seems strange that you can open files in Proton Docs, but a new file is created (pdoc) instead of amending the original file. Google drive allows for editing of docx and excel files from the drive without creating a separate doc. Clearly outline in your documentation that a new file is created to avoid confusion. This would also help in the future with integration of proton drive clients and seamless integration with file managers like on windows. I can amend files on pdrive on my windows machine but i cannot do so on my phone or using the drive online.

13. Add support for absolute cell references (i.e. using "$")

    Steps:
    - Cell K1 contains the formula, "=$A1"
    - Click on K1 and copy with cmd+c
    - Select cell L1, and paste with cmd+v

    Expected result:
    - The formula in L1 should be "=$A1"

    Actual result:
    - The formula in L1 is "=$B1"

    So it appears the use of "$" to denote absolute cell references (e.g. "$A1", "A$1", "$A$1") is not supported. This would be hugely valuable addition, and is currently preventing me moving from Google to Proton Sheets.

14. Fix inability to copy formulas from cell to cell correctly in sheet converted from Excel

    If I enter a NEW formula in Sheets and copy it to a new cell, the formula updates automatically. But if I try to copy an EXISTING formula in a Sheet converted from an Excel file, the formula does not update. This means that my existing Excel files are mostly useless after conversion to Proton Sheets. I just can't adopt Proton when this kind of limitation exists.

15. Delete photos from within albums

    Currently, there is no way to delete a photo completely from within an album, you have to hunt the photo down in "all" to delete it. Would be nice if we didn't have to do this :)

16. Mount Proton Drive as a Virtual Disk / File System Integration for Windows

    I am a Proton Plus subscriber, and as a paying customer I expect a user experience and level of integration similar to what most competing cloud storage services already provide regarding backup and file synchronization.

    I use Proton Drive not only as a backup tool, but also as a working storage location.
    However, there is currently no option to mount Proton Drive as a standard virtual disk on Windows — for example as drive “P:\” in applications that interact directly with the file system.

    This feature is essential for professional and productivity-focused workflows because it would:

    make the entire Drive accessible through the native Windows file system and 3rd-party apps (Total Commander, IDEs, CAD, office software, etc.)

    improve handling and organization of large amounts of files

    provide a clearer overview of storage usage, i.e. folder and sub-folder sizes, which is crucial to verify that all intended files and folders have been synchronized correctly, improving control and speed of work

    remove current workflow limitations associated with selective sync

    Expected capabilities of this feature

    ✔ Visible as a regular drive letter in Windows
    ✔ Full compatibility with standard file operations
    ✔ Optional enable/disable by user preference
    ✔ Security preserved (end-to-end encryption)
    ✔ On-Demand Sync remains available as a complementary feature

    Summary

    This feature would provide Proton Drive with full usability and accessibility —
    a natural, intuitive way to work with data → fewer clicks, more productivity.

    It would bring Proton Drive to the same level as major cloud drive services
    that already support virtual disk mounting.

    Thank you for considering this feature request!

18. app specific password for programatic drive access

    I am using MFA to access Proton services.
    I am testing Proton Drive as a backup solution, using rclone to send nightly deltas of a folder to the drive. This needs MFA, though, so it breaks after a while.
    Could you add app-specific--passwords so that this can be achieved, without using MFA for this, but still keeping MFA for normal access?

    Thank you.

19. 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.

20. Proposal to Add Version Control System (VCS) Support to Proton Drive

    Dear Proton Drive Development Team,

    I hope this message finds you in good time. First of all, I'd like to thank Proton Drive for the excellent services it offers. Your commitment to security, privacy, and ease of use, in particular, makes your platform indispensable for many users.

    However, I have a suggestion for a feature that could be added to Proton Drive for software developers: Version Control System (VCS) Support.

    Why Would VCS Support Be an Opportunity for Proton Drive?

    Version control has become a fundamental tool in the software development process. It allows teams to efficiently manage their projects, track changes, and collaborate. Platforms like Git, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket are widely used in the software development world, but the strong security features and user-friendly architecture offered by Proton Drive create a significant opportunity to offer a unique solution in this area.

    Proton Drive provides a secure and scalable work environment by providing a centralized version control system for software developers, while ensuring efficient file sharing with high security and privacy standards.

    Key Features Offered with VCS Integration

    Adding VCS support to Proton Drive can offer the following powerful features:

    Version History: By storing each version of files, it will be possible to track past changes and revert to older versions if necessary.

    Branching & Merging: Enables teams to work in parallel and ensures seamless integration of changes into the main project.

    Upload and Push Operations: Users upload their changes to a central repository and track change history, ensuring a streamlined workflow.

    Team Collaboration and Security: Integrating with Proton Drive's existing security features, you can manage team file access permissions and ensure sensitive data is shared only with authorized individuals.

    Tagging and Release Notes: Tags, comments, and release notes can be added to specific versions, simplifying project development tracking and version transitions.

    Benefits of VCS Support

    Adding VCS support to Proton Drive offers the following benefits:

    Secure and Centralized Storage for Developers: Proton Drive allows software developers to store their projects in a secure environment, further strengthening the platform's already robust security infrastructure.

    Efficient Collaboration: It makes it easier for teams to work securely on the same projects, enabling efficient collaboration on large and complex projects.

    Competitive Advantage: Proton Drive offers not only file storage but also version control support, making it a comprehensive collaboration tool for software development teams.
