1. Automatic Substitute Feature

   A feature where we can manually add substitutions. For example, I like to use em dashes in my writing (—) but it's difficult to do on my regular keyboard, so I used the substitute feature in the other docs I use to automatically substitute "--" to "—" and use it with other things, too, like adding accented letters automatically onto names (turning eon to éon for example). I know there are keyboards out there that can do it, but I've never been able to find one that works conveniently enough for my writing, and this is a relatively minor but SUPER helpful feature.

2. Find and replace

   I was trying Proton docs for an university's homework since a mate and I realized it wasn't possible to "find and replace all" on Proton docs. We had to download and work local

3. Get memories of previous photos at same date or videos

   It would be nice to have a similar feature than pCloud that shows photos at the same date (day/month) in the previous years or memory videos as iCloud.

4. 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!

5. 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.

6. 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! 😍

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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.

11. 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.

13. Local cache

    Other cloud providers have a local cache that you can set the size of, that just retains your most recently opened files so you're not having to re-download them every time you open them. I realise you can set specific files or folders to be available locally, but it's a pain having to do this when you have lots of different files (drawing files is what I'm thinking of) with large (GB) attachments. With a cache they're just available while actively working with them, and then they eventually get pushed back off the local drive when you're no longer opening them again.

14. 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.

15. Make it easy to browse photos that are stored only in the cloud

    I can easily use Dropbox to browse photos that I've stored in the cloud. As soon as I tap on any item in a given list of images, Dropbox automatically generates a low-resolution version of that photo and serves it up to me in a preview window that is located right next to the list of images. Dropbox probably automatically starts generating previews in the background for whatever image folder I'm currently viewing, because I can quickly browse my entire photo collection just by swiping left or right in that preview window.

    The web interface (but not the Apple mobile or desktop interfaces) to Proton Drive does offer a right-click option to generate a low-res preview. But this is one file at a time; I have to right-click the next file and select the preview option for that one to move from one photo preview to the next. This makes Drive virtually useless as an online photo album viewer and has already led my wife to decide to keep her Dropbox subscription rather than migrate her photo albums to my Proton Duo subscription.

17. Add Simple Diagram Feature in Proton Docs

    Hi Proton team,

    It would be great to have a simple built-in diagram feature in Proton Docs — something lightweight to create quick flowcharts or concept maps directly in a document. Nothing complex, just basic shapes and connections to visualize ideas easily without leaving the editor.

    And if you ever need someone to build it, I’m available! 😄

    Thanks for considering it!
    Best,

18. Priority Downloads

    Similar to when updating an application on IOS it would be great when I'm already downloading multiple files at once I can select one to prioritize in the download queue.

    On example use case is the user is downloading their music library or photos but needs access to a critical document quickly but it is stuck at the end of the download queue. You just have to wait until all the other files are finished downloading before you can access that document.

19. Cloud Media Settings on Android

    You can configure cloud media settings on Android.

    Here you can specify which cloud media should be displayed when an app or website asks you to select photos or videos.

    Google Photos is listed here by default. However, you can also change it to "None."

    It would be great if Proton Drive appeared here as well.
    Could you consider this?
