  3. See favorite photos in an album

    It would be incredibly useful if I could, within an album view, filter to just the photos I've liked/favorited. I take a lot of duplicate photos, so it's hard to tell at a glance which ones are the "good" photos for a particular trip.

  4. Auto trim Trash item older the XX days

    Compared to other Web Drive providers, Proton Drive lacks a feature where items whose 'Deleted Time' exceeds a certain threshold (i.e. 30 days) get automatically deleted by the system.
    There are a number of reasons as to why this might be so. One possible reason could be that, due to data encryption on Proton's side, they cannot view certain metadata of the file, such as its 'Deleted Time'. This would then exclude any attempts by the server to perform housekeeping duties.

    The solution is to move the deletion routine into the user clients instead. All the server has to do…

  5. Do not rename photos

    Sometimes I save my android pictures with a USB cable and sometimes with Proton Drive. When I want to be sure there is no photo forgotten I paste all the proton saved photos in my Windows folders again, but since Proton changes automatically the photos' names, it becomes a mess with many duplicates. Do you really need to change the file's name? Why not keep the original name ?

  6. On-Demand file syncing for windows & synchronisation of PCs

    Trying to change from Onedrive, but it's on-demand file download is too powerful. Apps & Games being able to call for and wait for a Onedrive download automatically should be a feature of Proton Drive.

    Also ability to have all Windows PCs synced under one location in Proton drive. so they all have the same files available. Proton Drive having PCs have there own individual folders was a big let down when I was changing over.

    Similar but different post: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45727027-selective-syncing-of-files-for-mac-linux-windows

  7. Add a text file reader

    Adding a text file reader/opener to drive would allow users to open text files directly in drive, or add proton docs to drive.

  8. crop

    Crop Photos.

    Currently, editing a photo on your phone doesn’t update the version saved in Proton Drive. I often need to crop the photos.

    My case: Accidental mass changes and reversion, wanted to find the files whose changes I want to keep based on time synced. I can't get them back since I don't remember all of which files they were.

  10. Photos: make it possible to add to album and delete from within the previewer

    Pretty self-explanatory. Painstaking to go back after watching a video to add it to an album or delete it. Thank you!

  11. Integrate folder sharing with Proton Contacts on mobile

    Current Behavior: When sharing folders or albums in Proton Drive with family members, I must manually type each email address. There's no integration with Proton Contacts, making the sharing process time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Would be great to have more seamless integration between Proton Contacts and Proton Drive that would:

    • Allow users to select contacts directly from their address book when sharing
    • Support autocomplete functionality as users begin typing names

    Even more, if Contacts would support contact groups, sharing to family members as a single group.

  12. Add Conditional Sync Pause Feature for Proton Drive

    I use Proton Drive to back up certain files for a game. However, it causes significant performance issues when the game is running due to constant synchronization. Currently, I have to manually pause the syncing, which requires me to remember to manually sync the files later.

    A feature that pauses syncing based on specific conditions would be very helpful. These conditions could include:

    • When a window is in full-screen mode
    • When certain processes are running (like games)

    This feature would benefit not only gamers but also anyone who needs a stable internet connection during critical tasks.

  13. Bookmarks on phones

    Proton should add the ability to bookmark specific folders on Android and iOS devices, similar to the Quick Access feature on Windows. This would allow users to navigate to folders faster and jump between them with ease.

  15. Folder tree should autoexpand during navigation

    Similar to File Explorer on Windows, there's a setting called 'Autoexpand to folder'. When clicking a folder on the main area of File Explorer, the tree view on left panel autoexpand to that folder.

    Proton Drive is better with such feature. Currently, when double-clicking a folder on the main area, the folder tree on the left doesn't change, and sometimes it's deeply nested inside, thus clicking the tree to browse to current folder is slow.

  16. File name conflict errors should be shown on web app

    Sometimes when creating a new file, especially Proton Doc file, the file name actually conflicts with Windows but Proton Drive web app doesn't tell.

    Only until I saw it in Proton Drive desktop, I knew about naming conflict.

    For example, I made a file name similar to this with slashes on Proton Drive web app: CPU/GPU Costs

    I know that clash only happens on Windows, not Linux (limits this slash only and not other chars), but maybe a small alert on web app should be nice.

  17. Share Proton Photos Album link for collaboration without requiring Proton account

    As a user, I want to be able to create a public link to edit or view a photos album so that my friends and I can have a common album where they can share and view photos.
    Some of them won't create a proton account, thus we are currently forced to use google photos now.

  18. Simple finename search

    Currently so search files within ProtonDrive (web) you need to index the entire drive content, which can take a long time.
    I understand that local indexing is necessary for zero-access reasons.

    It would be nice to have a simpler search (only on filenames and metadata?) that could be ready in a fraction of the time.
    Searching within files content is good, but sometimes having a quick name or date search is all you need.

  19. Proton Drive App (Android,...): Search function for file names

    Please add a search button in the Proton Drive file view. For example I have a document repository stored on Proton Drive with a folder "invoices" with 765 elements where I would like to be able to search for "fridge" to see how old my current fridge ist. Or search for "paint" to find out which product I exactly used to paint my home.

  20. Revamp Docs's download feature

    When I try to export my document every single download item is lacking expected quality. I wanted to create a simple user manual for a small app with screenshots, but I can not seem to make a proper usable export from it.

    .docx have broken images and bad formatting

    .html have bad formatting as well

    .md is just an .md file without the images in the document, it should be a zip with image folder and [img] tag

    plain .txt works but it is pointless in this case

    .pdf is just "print to pdf" with browser specific headers that the…
