  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. Speed up downloads from Proton Drive using shared links

    I've shared a folder that was about 337 MB using a share link. The downloads are abysmally slow at 47.83 KB/s to 185.54 KB/s. Then the download fails at less than a third of the way through.

    I'm on a paid plan. Replicated with the person whom I shared the folder. Both of us can't download it.

    Both of us are on different high bandwidth fiber internet plans and have no issues with other content.

  8. Share folders and files with admin rights

    Currently you can only share files with other email addresses as viewer or editor.
    You should be able to share as admin with full rights: sharing, moving, deleting, ...
    This goes for folders as well.

  9. 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 ?

  10. 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

  13. 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.

  14. Proton Docs: Convert footnotes from docx to Docs files and show comments on download

    1. I work in Ulysses (Markdown) and export to Word, store the docx files in Proton Drive and share with a collaborator, and we work together in Docs. While passages marked with the "::" code show as highlighted in docs, footnotes created in markdown, which show up in docx, do not show up in Docs files.

    2. There seems to be no way to download a docs file in any format and have the comments made in the docs file show up in the downloaded file. If there is, please let me know. If not, please consider adding this feature. Thanks.
      Please…

  15. Select AND view photos

    Weeding out a bunch of photos is easily done be selecting multiple photos and clicking delete. Nice.
    But as you are selecting, it would be really nice to be able to open a photo for viewing. Currently you cannot view a photo if any are selected.
    I would very much like to be able to open a photo for viewing while having a selection, and having the selection retained while viewing the photo. Maybe even having the option to add/remove the currently viewed photo to the selection.
    This would also be very helpful when selecting for an album.

  17. worm - Write Once Read Many

    I would like to request support for a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) archiving feature with integrated retention expiration management.

    📌 Feature Description
    The goal is to enable secure data archiving where files are immutable for a specified retention period, after which they become eligible for deletion or further processing.

    🎯 Key Requirements:
    WORM compliance: Data should be written once and remain unmodifiable during the retention period.

    Configurable retention policy: Ability to define retention duration per object/file at creation time.

    Automatic expiration handling:

    After the retention period, the system should allow:

    Automatic deletion

    Manual deletion (if desired)

    Archival transition to…

  18. Inconsistant timelines

    I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way dates are handled in the timeline view when updated via the Web interface.
    * Photos use the "Photo taken date", while
    * Videos use the "FIle modified date".

    This results in a messy and inconsistent timeline. To work around this on our end, we’ve had to delete all the videos, unify the metadata dates, and re-upload them. However, it seems odd that a different logic would be applied to photos vs. videos, so this feels more like a bug than something intentional.

    With such approach, it is impossible to have the video correctly…

  19. [mobile] Easier selection of multiple images

    Current implementation: Currently, when dealing with albums in Proton Drive on mobile devices, users must manually tap each image to select them and add them to an album. Same applies also when selecting images in other views, regardless if intention is to add them to an album or not.

    Issue: This process can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of images spread across multiple rows. The lack of a streamlined selection method makes it time-consuming to organize photos efficiently.

    Proposal: It would be beneficial to introduce a more intuitive way to select multiple images. On mobile devices,…

  20. Render Photo Captions/Titles from the Photo's metatdata

    (a) When viewing the photo gallery, optionally, display the photo's caption/title.

    This would have to be done carefully as there are many candidate places in a photo that a "caption" of sorts is stored: jpeg caption, jpeg title, etc..

    (b) The ability to edit the "caption" metadata and then modify the source file.

    This means that all the effort that goes into captioning photos would not be lost as the edits would "stick" with the photo. If completed, this would make Proton Photos better than any other cloud Photo applications - as all the other store the caption away fro…
