1. Organize Photos

   It would be great, and frankly necessary, feature to be able to organize photos:

   1. 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.

   2. When backing up folders from mobile device, it would be great if we could mirror the organisational structure.
      E.G. If the photos on a mobile device are already sorted in "Albums" and "Group Albums", we should be able to see the same structure in Proton Drive without re-creating it manually. (Basically just copy Samsung Gallery or similar organisation)

   3. Being able to link Albums in Proton Drive as a folder - One you can open and manage as any other, maybe add a special icon.

2. 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.

3. 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 a file from your cloud, its local copy would be deleted too. And another one that would allow the user to choose whether the cloud copy of a file should be removed when the local version of this file is deleted.

   This feature would improve the user experience by avoiding confusion and duplication of files, as well as saving storage space and bandwidth. It would also enhance the security and privacy of the users by ensuring that their files are deleted from both locations when they want to. Users would have the option to enable or disable this feature according to their preferences and needs.

4. 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.

6. 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 ... but the can of worms is already opened. It would be great to see this more benevolent and handy use case paired with a privacy respecting implementation.

8. 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.

9. 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).

11. 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.

12. Allow editing on Proton Sheets for Mobile

    Proton Sheets works well on Laptop/Desktop but when viewing via the Proton Drive app on mobile (I have a Google Pixel 6a) the message "Screen too small for editing"... is displayed.

    Flipping to landscape allows editing but the keyboard takes up the whole screen so it's obvious Proton Sheets was designed only only to be used on larger devices at this stage.

    Would be good if work were completed to enable editing and generally update the mobile app so that Proton Sheets is truly functional via mobile.

13. Create dedicated photo app

    I know that the current plan is to fully integrate the photos feature into the Proton Drive app.
    However, I think it would be more logical to have a dedicated app for photos and one for documents in general. With combined apps, I fear that the app either gets overloaded or features will be missing because it would get too crowded otherwise. The photos app also needs wayy better performance than the current app (at least on android, the photos feature is very slow and misses a lot of crucial features, like face detection, editing or a map to show where photos were taken).

14. WebDAV Access for ProtonDrive (Linux)

    Dear Proton Team,

    I’d like to share my feedback regarding Lumo and using ProtonDrive on Ubuntu. Below is a summary of our discussion:

    1. WebDAV Access for ProtonDrive I attempted to use ProtonDrive via WebDAV on Ubuntu to improve usability. Despite enabling Beta access, I couldn’t find a WebDAV option in ProtonDrive settings. Efforts to use davfs2 or rclone failed because the domain dav.proton.me couldn’t be resolved.
    2. Alternative Solutions ProtonMail Bridge: Installed successfully but lacks direct ProtonDrive integration. Session Buddy: A Chrome extension to save ProtonDrive sessions, reducing frequent logins. However, I’m uncomfortable relying on this workaround due to security concerns and limited functionality compared to native integration. Rclone: While useful for cloud sync, there’s no official support for ProtonDrive. Browser Extensions: Tools like password managers help but don’t replace native integration.
    3. Feedback and Suggestions Enable WebDAV: Official WebDAV support would allow seamless Linux integration. Native Desktop App: A dedicated ProtonDrive app for Linux would significantly improve usability and reduce reliance on browser extensions. API Access: Providing an API or official integrations (e.g., for rclone) would enhance flexibility. Access and Security: The current browser-based access is cumbersome, requiring frequent logins—especially problematic when handling sensitive data. A better integration would improve both usability and security.
    4. General Experience with Lumo Lumo provided helpful guidance but could offer clearer instructions or links for ProtonDrive integration on Ubuntu. I hope this feedback helps improve ProtonDrive’s Linux compatibility. Thank you for your efforts!

15. 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!

16. 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 a 200GB download, but just a download of the files you really need in that moment. I realize that doing this automatically would be technically challenging (specially if you support Mac, Linux, and Windows), because it would require low-level integration with the filesystem, which is a hard thing, but... I tend to believe there could be some manual workaround (like manually limiting the synced folders/files for a computer) that could offer almost the same functionality without a technically difficult solution.

    Selective syncing is not just about avoiding unnecessary huge downloads, but to be able to work in computers whose free disk space is not enough for storing all your files: if you could choose to sync only a part of the folders tree in that limited space computer, it would be perfect.

    By the way, being able to bypass network-based syncing in some situations, by copying the files with a physical hard disk, would be a plus. Just imagine: You get a new laptop, and you want to sync on it your 200GB of files. Rather than doing it with the network, if you have your files in another computer and you can copy them with a physical disk or local network, you would save lots of unnecesary network traffic. Then, after such big copy is done, the new laptop will continue working with network-based syncing as usual.

17. Sync directories android/linux/windows/drive and allow backup apps like Whastapp, Signal, Threema

    This could be achieved by syncing a directory in android with proton drive.

    Syncing a folder is essential. For instance I could sync some documents, books, keepass databases and other files to have a shared directory between my computer and my phone and having all those files also OFFLINE for instance when traveling.

    An option to backup public storage data from apps such as: Whatsapp, Signal, Threema, etc is also essential to stop using Google Services (dgrive) to backup those apps. I think the private storage backup is not possible.

18. Allow selection of email alias for Proton Drive shared downloads

    When we share a file from Proton Drive, it reveals the account primary email address. E.g. "Digital signature verified. This file was securely uploaded by email@proton.me". Allowing the use of an alias would help maintain privacy.

19. 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.

20. Preview and open .odt OpenDocument Text files

    Related to being able to export Proton Docs as .odt files (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/48607370-proton-docs-download-to-odt-feature), it should be possible to preview and open .odt OpenDocument Text files in Proton Docs. Many people choose OpenDocument files as a free and open source alternative to MS Word and Google Docs files. It’s the default file format in LibreOffice, Nextcloud Office, and Collabora. It’s the option that people turn to when they’re tired of being overcharged by Microsoft to open or write a document. It’d be invaluable to have support in Proton Docs for these files.
