Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage
In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.
This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.
My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…

Proton Docs: documents should use odt format by default
Even if docx is a format more used, Proton should use odt instead as it is an open and standardized format while docx is proprietary and belongs to Microsoft.

Folder info (size, stats)
In details I'd like to see the number of files and folders inside a chosen folder and it's total size.
It'd be also cool to be able to see details for a number of selected folders combined, so I could check the info for a few folders placed next to each other.464 votes -
Photos bidirectional sync
It's great that one's photos can be "backed up". But, photos needs to have bidirectional syncing. An example: if one deletes a photo on one's phone, it should be deleted in Proton Drive/Photos. I applaud all of the wonderful improvements in Proton Drive/Photos, but to be fully functional this feature is needed. Of course, none of the features are available to Linux users as there is NO PROTON DRIVE CLIENT available for Linux.

Sync existing macOS folders
I miss the option to sync a folder that is not the default Proton Drive location in macOS. I think this is available in the Windows app.
Right now if I want to sync files with Proton Drive I need to copy them to the Proton Drive location in Finder.359 votes -

Include search bar for proton drive in the mobile app. Currently, the only way to search my drive is if I open a browser in desktop mode.

Markdown support for Drive
I like the document editor in drive (even though it misses some features). But I dont like the fact it only works online, and local representations are only links to the online document (editor).
I like to work offline, and be able to work with simple text files. I like to write al sorts of documents as markdown in vim. Markdown is great: it can be 'rendered' as something rich-texty but it is also perfectly readable as plain text. Best of both worlds...
I would love support for this workflow in Drive.328 votes -
Selective syncing of files for Mac/Linux/Windows
Actual syncing of files is so important, that I was considering to upgrade my plan today for getting 500GB storage. But then I realized that ProtonDrive doesn't sync files, and that it works with manual upload/download only, so it wouldn't be useful for me, and so I'll wait rather than upgrade now.
I work with Mac, Linux, and Windows computers, so I need to sync across them.
Also note that I said "selective syncing". It would be highly desirable that if you have 200GB of files and you start working with a computer you didn't sync yet, this doesn't trigger…

Organize Photos
It would be great, and frankly necessary, feature to be able to organize photos:
To be able to filter and preview with different criteria (Assigned album, location, device, etc.), and not only to see them listed by date.
E.g. Add a button/slider like - Exclude pictures assigned to Albums from Photos. So a user can easily filter "unassigned" photos. - If I assign photos to an album, I know where to find them - Current setup is confusing because I don't know if I added all of the photos I want to an album.When backing up folders from mobile…

AI photo finder
It would be great if there was a privacy friendly (read: on device) replacement for the facial recognition-based photo organization in non-privacy respecting apps.
One thing I found useful in Google Photos for instance that I've missed is the ability to see a selection of faces of people that I know and then to find pictures I've taken of them. Currently if I know the photo I'm looking for is one of my father ... I'm often out of luck trying to find it in a sea of photos.
Facial recognition technology does bother me for a number of reasons…

Open local PDF files on mobile
The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

Bring Linux app quality in line with Windows and Apple apps
The Linux apps from Proton are subpar when compared to the same apps on Windows or IOS (when they even exist).
As a paying unlimited customer I expect much better. I propose that instead of wasting resources on features which customers have not asked for (Ai, Bitcoin wallet, etc.) you allocate more time and resources to developing your Linux ecosystem. After all, Linux is the only truly private operating system, this should be closely aligned with Proton's mission.

Folders in Photo Album
I love that you can put photos from e.g. one trip in one Album. I would love it even more, if I could further sort them in different folders (i.e. Museum, Beach, trip to city XY).

Password protect specific folders if sharing account.
It would be nice to have the possibility to assign a password to a specific folder. It's a good solution if you e.g. use your Proton Drive with other family members/friends what so ever.

Proton Sheets - Additional Date Formats
Currently it appears the only possible Date format for Date types in Proton Sheets is mm/dd/yyyy, which is US centric.
Would appreciate additionally including other date arrangements, perhaps:
dd/mm/yyyy (Common globally)
dd/mm/yy
yyyy/mm/dd (ISO 8601)
dd/mmm/yyyyWould suggest dd/mm/yyyy given that it's arguably the most common format globally and yyyy-mm-dd given that it's the ISO 8601 international standard used heavily in software around the world should be priorities 👍

Table of Contents :: Proton Docs
Thanks for making Proton Docs!
Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?
Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.
Thanks again!

Add ProtonDrive to the ProtonMail Linux app the same way as ProtonCalendar
It would be nice to be able to open ProtonDrive through the Linux ProtonMail app through the "Proton applications" icon button. On Linux I currently have to open the drive in a browser and log in which is inconvenient.
