1. allow syncing local folders directly to My Files

   Currently we can sync folders which get tied to specific computers. What I would like to see is the ability to set a local folder to sync directly to "My Files" instead of being bound to a specific computer.

   I hope the music player is built into Proton Drive. Currently, I have activated Proton Duo. I want to completely melt the proton into my daily life. The song player is not in the drive. I'm using it with pcloud. Please.

3. 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.

5. 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!

6. Allow rename of file when saving on Android app

   When saving a file on Android by "sharing" from another app, you can choose the destination folder but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the name of the file before you upload it.

   Suggested feature: by tapping on the current name of the file, you can change the name before tapping upload.

7. Enable 'rclone' to give you access to the Proton Drive as part of the Mac file system, or produce a Terminal app yourselves.

   I've used the command-line program 'rclone' to show my Proton Drive as part of my Mac file system, so I can backup files from a Terminal. It's dead slow, but it worked. Then, two days ago, I ran
   rclone mount proton: ~/ProtonDrive \
   --vfs-cache-mode writes \
   --tpslimit 0.3 \
   --transfers 1 \
   --checkers 1 \
   --low-level-retries 1 \
   --timeout 10s \
   --daemon --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true
   and it said
   "CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "proton:": couldn't initialize a new proton drive instance: 422 POST https://mail.proton.me/api/auth/v4: We are detecting potentially abusive traffic coming from your network and have temporarily blocked logins. If you believe this is in error, please contact us here: https://proton.me/support/appeal-abuse (Code=2028, Status=422)"
   I went to that URL and filled in the form. No response, and it still doesn't work, 48 hours later. There is no abusive traffic on my network. I'm using Proton VPN.

9. 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.

10. Delete original backup if organized into an album

    I'm wondering if it would be feasible to add a feature into proton drive, where the original videos and photos get backed up if its possible to delete it after that same photo or video gets moved into an album as I imagine for most people it would be easier to search through named albums vs a random collection of pics and videos put together.

    TL;DR - Photo/video gets backed up>Move photo/video to album>Delete original photo/video (without deleting the one in the album). Saves space and keeps things clean and organized

11. I'd like to share a photoalbum.

    I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
    The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.

    This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

12. Link sharing: Add "Request Access" Approval for Shared Links (Google Drive-style)

    Please add a "Request Access / Manual Approval" option for shared links in Proton Drive.

    How it should work:
    When someone clicks a shared link, they cannot immediately access the file / folder.
    Instead, they see a button like "Request Access."
    The owner receives a notification and can approve or deny each request, tied to the requester's email address.

    Why this matters:
    Prevents link leaks. Even if the URL is forwarded, only approved people get access.
    Gives owners more granular control, without relying only on passwords or expiry dates.
    Matches a feature users are already familiar with from Google Drive, making migration easier.

    Optional enhancements:
    Let owners revoke individual approvals later.
    Combine with existing Proton Drive features like link expiry and passwords for layered security.
    Allow domain restrictions (e.g. only @company.com accounts).

    This would give Proton Drive one of the strongest and most user-friendly access control systems in the privacy-focused cloud market.

13. API Checksum

    I keep most of my personal/project files in a folder structure that 'lives' in the cloud, but has a full offline mirror on my main devices (desktop and laptop). From my point of view this is an essential quality of life thing, and I have no idea how other people survive without doing this.

    The problem I have now is that I'm on linux, automating my mirroring with rclone. Rclone is great, but if a file gets corrupted during the sync process, it can't tell, which is A PROBLEM because over time with repeated syncs, corrupted files can potentially end up overwriting good files.

    Normally this problem can be solved by running checksums to verify integrity. A script can make sure that everything matches up correctly, and can automatically repair things instead of propagating destruction upon all my files. Unfortunately, it seems that Proton Drive hasn't exposed a system for this yet, so there is no reasonable way for me to do these integrity checks that are a key part of any healthy synchronization framework.

    The number one thing a file system should not do is destroy its files. Checksums are kind of 'the way' we make sure we don't explode things. This is really quite an essential feature.

    Edit: IMPORTANT: It seems I should mention that checksums can also MASSIVELY reduce the overhead traffic on your servers. They allow a sync engine to see if a file is the same, and its metadata just changed for some reason, so then the sync engine doesn't have to re-download the thing it already has. The users want this to speed up syncs on their end, and you guys should want this to get better performance for less server load on your end.

14. File management paradigm change?

    As a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest techologies since 40 years

    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 distiction)
    - allow the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS
    - providing labels/tags/keywords management (add, remove, batch rename)
    - integrate these labels/tags/keywords 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 funtionality to generate a folder structure based on views

    So that:
    - Merging: one environment simplifies and generalizes the file management development and usage
    - Labels, views: it doesn't matter anymore where I store files, but how I can find them easliy (consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy)
    - Optionally expose files: for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps
    - Integrate labels, generate folder structure: portability is ensured for the day I decide to move my files to another platform (export folder structure with my personal categorization system without risk of loosing years of organization)
    - Modification date: obviously the file management should't tamper with the effective file content change date

    Thank you for considering shaping a futuristic UX with an open and portable file system management post-GAFAM and service provider independent! 😍

19. Foto Sync

    Ich habe ein iOS Gerät und die Fotosynchronisation eingeschaltet. Nun werden einige Fotos doppelt in der Proton Mediathek angezeigt, da es bei einem bearbeiteten Bild das original und das neue Bild speichert, auch wenn auf dem IPhone nur das bearbeitete Exemplar vorhanden ist.

    Zusätzlich wäre es super es würde auch gelöste Fotos synchronisieren.

20. Render correct photo ratio in Photos and Album overviews

    Currently all photos are rendered with the same portrait aspect ratio, which does not correctly represent the images correctly. It would be nice if users had an option to display the original aspect ratio all scaled to the same height or some other dynamic layout which displays the full image scaled down for the overview.
