Theme Based Search (Proton drive photos)
I propose adding a theme-based search in Proton Drive, similar to Google Photos, while fully respecting privacy. The idea would be to use a local AI on the device to analyze images and generate encrypted tags or indexes, used only for searching. This way, the images would never leave the device or Proton servers.
I’m not sure if this is technically feasible at scale, but with optimized LLMs and AI recognition models, it might be possible to find a balance between privacy and intelligent search, giving users a richer experience without compromising their personal data.

Expand Proton Drive Search to Include Trash, PCs, and Mobile Devices
As a Visionary Plan user, I use Proton Drive a lot for storing and managing my files. It would be really helpful if the search feature could be expanded to include:
Trash Folder: Right now, finding deleted files in the Trash is hard because there's no search. Adding search here would make it much easier to recover lost files quickly.
Files on My PCs and Mobile Devices: Currently, search only works for files inside Proton Drive. If it could also search files on my linked devices, it would save me a lot of time and make managing my files much…15 votes -
Fix the Photos Sort Order Bug
(NB Photos in browser: android app seems to sort properly.)
I have many photos, mainly jpegs, that pre-date the digital revolution. I have scanned/re-photographed these old photos either from negative or print and have fixed up the "date taken" to correspond with when the original photo was taken. For people with full family collections this is probably not unusual.
I am trying my best to migrate my photo library to Proton, but the its the little things that are annoying: the main photos sort by reverse date taken, UNTIL you get to about 1970 (I have tested this) - older…

Feature request: Full Proton Drive Photos export with albums
Hello Proton Support Team,
A complete export feature for Proton Drive Photos is essential.
Users should be able to download all photos and videos in one operation while preserving original quality, metadata, album names, and album organization.
At present, exporting albums manually one by one is too restrictive and makes data portability difficult. For a privacy-focused service, users must be able to retrieve all their data easily without losing years of organization.
Please treat this feature as a priority.
Best regards,

Make Photos in "My Files" visible in the Photos section and vice versa
Make Photos in "My Files" visible in the Photos section and vice versa.
Managing Photos as a subset of Files is a fairly standard use case if you want to Synch with Desktop (which is critical to me).14 votes -
Reference cell data from another Proton Sheet
There should be a way to reference cell data from another Proton Sheet (not a different tabbed sheet)

Saving search index
I know files and photos indexing may be technically difficult because everything is encrypted, but at least it should be optional to create and persist and index to not wait every time to reconstitutes it, when it's needed to search for files and photos. This index may be incrementally updated at the next access.
It should also be useful to have an index updated in background, maybe by the mobile or desktop apps.14 votes -
Create share link for folders & files from within the desktop app
Currently, to create a share link you have to visit drive via web browser to create a shareable link. It would be great if this feature was available either on the desktop app, or in the right-click dropdown menu like dropbox provides.

Enable Syncing with external Drives
I need the feature to be able to sync not just local folders on your PC, but also from external drives attached to my PC.
I read that this can pose a safety threat. But I still very much like to have all my data stored on a cloud and a physical drive in case I lose access or have any other problems with my cloud. I am currently using pCloud, and they allow that. That is quite the essential feature for me.
So please allow syncing with external drives as well.

Standardise file and folder sorting across apps
The Proton Drive web app sorts folders in the left-hand file tree lexicographically but sorts files and folders in the right-hand folder content area numerically. Files and folders in the iOS/iPadOS app are sorted lexicographically.
Let’s assume I have a folder that itself has twenty folders, each named 1 to 20. The web app sorts them as follows in the left-hand folder tree:
1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
However, the web app sorts them as follows in the right-hand folder content area:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
This is confusing. The sorting method should be standardised across all areas of all apps. Should that standard be sorting numbers…

Integration of folders and files shared with you.
It would be really great if we could move my owned files to folders that have been shared with me. I don't need to remove from shared folders but being able to add a doc I have created in my own files and folders to a folder someone else has shared with me.

QOL for Proton Docs: Headers and text default formatting
I think it would be neat if we can set our preferred default fonts and text sizes for every NEW headers and subsequent texts.
It's a hassle having to switch them over from Arial to the other fonts I'm more comfortable with.

Add a setting to set additional paths for automatic photo backup
Currently, the automatic photo backup feature on Android only looks for photos in the Camera and Screenshots folders. I'd like for there to be a setting to add additional folder paths that will be backed up, so that for example photos in my downloads folder will get backed up.

Need the ability to add comments to photos in shared albums
I am using Google Photos to share family albums and I am trying to determine if I can replace Google Photos with Proton Drive (I am a Proton Duo user). One very useful feature for the users I am sharing the albums with is the ability to add comments. In fact, this would be a show-stopper if it is not possible. The reason is that some of the photos are pretty old (scans of standard prints) and lack details. Being able to add comments is a great and simple way of sharing and improving the information we have about some…

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.

Hide identity of uploader
Currently, a publicly shared folder in proton drive shows the address of whomever uploaded it, and this address cannot be changed to a different one than that originally tied to your account as far as I can tell.
This can be gotten around by uploading from a private window with no login, however it would be nice if it was simply an option to change or hide the identifier, at least for those who the folder is shared to or used a public share link.
