1. Allow adding photos from Proton Drive to Albums in the web interface

   Currently, there's no way to add photos that are already stored in Proton Drive to Photos when using the web interface. The only options are:

   • Use the iOS or Android app
   • Upload directly from your computer to Photos

   Requested feature: Add the ability to browse Proton Drive and select existing photos/videos to add to an album, directly from the web interface.

   Bonus: Ideally, this should work by reference rather than creating a duplicate. Adding a photo from Drive to an album shouldn't consume twice the storage quota.

   Use case:Users who have already uploaded and organized photos in Proton Drive shouldn't need to switch to a mobile device or re-upload files just to add them to an album. This is especially relevant for users who primarily use the web interface or are working with large batches of photos already in Drive.

3. Proton Docs: Convert Case

   I would like a feature to change the case of selected text. For example, change "I have a dog named Bruno" to:

   • all caps ("I HAVE A DOG NAMED BRUNO")
   • all lower case ("i have a dog named bruno")
   • title case ("I Have a Dog Named Bruno")

4. See date instead of file name

   When I view a photo inside the Proton Drive gallery, I would like to see the date of the photo rather than the file name, as I find it more useful.

5. Choose what computer backup to show in Proton Drive folder

   Would be nice to have an option to exclude backups from showing in the Proton Drive folder on other PCs. Currently I have a couple of backed up folders that goes through a lot of constant changes which makes Proton Drive on other computers take forever to mirror these changes even if it's not technically downloading anything.

6. 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.

7. 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.

9. 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!

10. 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.

11. Copy/pasting Docs files in Proton Drive

    Maybe a minor thing for some but it doesn't seem to be possible to copy/paste Docs files within Proton Drive so they work. At least mine won't sync, even though I do. I have my patients fill out questionnaires by opening a Proton Drive public link and fill out a Docs file. This problem forces me to continuously create new empty docs and paste into them.

12. Add EXIF data "CreationDate" if not exists

    Images and videos which do not have a "CreationDate" tag in its EXIF data heavily rely on the "DateLastChanged" tag in order to be sorted correctly. WhatsApp for instance does not ship that CreationDate tag with its media files.
    This leads to the problem that images without this important EXIF data entry cannot be downloaded without the loss of any date information (because all other tags are changed to todays date).

    The idea is to set the "CreationDate" EXIF data if a media file does not have it at download time. It should use the "DateLastChanged" date for that. That way all images do have the right date information for correct sorting.

14. 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.

15. Add Simple Diagram Feature in Proton Docs

    Hi Proton team,

    It would be great to have a simple built-in diagram feature in Proton Docs — something lightweight to create quick flowcharts or concept maps directly in a document. Nothing complex, just basic shapes and connections to visualize ideas easily without leaving the editor.

    And if you ever need someone to build it, I’m available! 😄

    Thanks for considering it!
    Best,

16. 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

17. 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.

18. pdf reader improvement

    If a link is to a pdf and so opens in a pdf reader embeded in a proton page, I can click the Download button and the file will download with the proper file title. However within the reader is a download arrow. If you were to click on that to download the file the file name is a garbled number and letter sequence. I've tried this with another cloud drive service which the process looks nearly identical except that clicking the download arrow retains the file name. I'm guess most people would hit the Download button but as a frequent user of pdr readers I habitually hit the download arrow, which garbles the file title in the Proton Drive's case.

19. 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.

20. 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! 😍
