  1. 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

  2. File tags, tag views, and at-rest encryption

    I'm currently a user of both Proton Drive and Standard Notes (SN). Both products serve different needs, but I can envision a world in which the best aspects of SN are merged into Proton Drive.

    A big weakness of Proton Drive's local file sync functionality comes from the fact that all files must be sync'd and that there is no opportunity to keep them encrypted at-rest. While users can certainly introduce a separate encryption/decryption step to the process of manipulating files, this opens up a window of vulnerability in which any locally running application with shell access can read the…

  3. 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.

  4. Fix the Disk Usage in Proton Drive

    The usage estimate in the web application of proton drive is still buggy. It shows much higher than what I have in my drive. I saw a reddit post about this that was posted 3 years ago, I don't know if it is already fixed and is an issue with my side of the application.

  5. 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…

  7. Support hard links in Drive for file access from multiple locations

    Similar to the concept of hard links on file systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link) it would be useful to have files that can be accessed from multiple locations in Drive that all point to the same underlying storage. This makes it economical to organize information hierarchically where a file might be conveniently accessed from multiple locations.

  8. PIN/Password (instead of a long password) in Proton Drive Windows apps (like the Proton Pass app)

    The PIN feature in the Proton Drive app is great for shared devices or work use, so no one else can access my Proton Drive app.

  9. Add light theme for Proton Drive desktop app

    The Proton Drive desktop app currently only supports a dark theme. Other Proton apps (Mail, Calendar, Drive web) already allow theme selection, so it would be great to have the same here.

    I realize dark themes are more trendy, but for me they have a negative effect - I feel more tired and even sleepy when using them. In bright rooms the reflections also make it harder on the eyes. A light theme helps me stay more productive and matches the rest of my system.

  12. 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 ?

  13. Photos and videos - Fullscreen display in browser

    Now the photos on the screen are displayed in a small frame.

    F11 for a larger view in the browser will only enlarge it slightly, but it is still a small frame.

  15. Keep the direction of photo viewing after deletion

    When viewing photos in one direction, delete a photo, continue in the same direction (as in the Gallery on a Samsung phone).

  16. Add speech to text functionality to Proton Docs.

    Having the ability to speak to the Proton Docs application and have it turn the speech into text would make it much easier to compose long-form written material, especially if it is sensitive by nature. I do not trust other programs to keep such things safe and private.

  18. ask to merge folders of same name during upload

    During upload to the browser interface, if I upload an updated version of a previously uploaded folder structure, the app asks me if I want to replace the previous folders of the same name, if I want to skip folders of the same name, or if I want to keep both.
    I propose a fourth option of merging folders of similar names and then if this choise is made, ask for the choice of replace, keep both or do nothing for files specifically. This behavior would be similar to the experience of moving or copying files in folders on Windows.

  19. Name, Modified, & Size Filters Specific to Each Page, w/ Memory

    I often like to sort the contents of some folders by "name", and some by "modified" date.
    1. It would be great to have a global, and folder level memory, such that you can have some folders remain sorted by "modified" date, even if you apply "name globally".
    2. Secondly, for some reason, "modified" only seems to pertain to the end item its self, instead of the contents. For instance, if I have a 5 folders and within one of them I edit a Doc., the folder order will not change even though the contents of one of them has…
