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.

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…

Local cache
Other cloud providers have a local cache that you can set the size of, that just retains your most recently opened files so you're not having to re-download them every time you open them. I realise you can set specific files or folders to be available locally, but it's a pain having to do this when you have lots of different files (drawing files is what I'm thinking of) with large (GB) attachments. With a cache they're just available while actively working with them, and then they eventually get pushed back off the local drive when you're no longer opening…

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!

Ability to overwrite a file
Currently if editing a file in Drive with an external application (Libre Office, AndrOpen Office, etc) there is no way to save the file. I have to "Save As", delete the original and rename the new one. Contacted support and was given the usual "This is how it is, it may be fixed in a future version¨. I say this is a bug that should have been caught in alpha testing and frankly I'm shocked that I'm the first to mention this here.

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…

Proton Docs: Virtual Collection or Notebook
In the Proton Docs app, enable users to add docs to collections. A collection ...
(1) ... provides a list view of all its docs (irrespective of their actual location within the Drive folder structure), and
(2) ... can be opened and edited in a single browser tab, e.g. by displaying each doc as a page (creating something like a notebook).Use case:
I maintain individual 'Overview' documents for topics such as: bank accounts, various insurances, summer holiday each year, etc.
Obviously, these documents are in separate folders within Proton Drive (alongside related materials like invoices).
Now, I’d like the…

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

Auto suggest name for a doc based on fist line of text in the doc.
It is a tiny nit, but a really nice feature GDoc has -- open a new doc, type int he title of the doc, click on rename, it suggests the title text as the name,

Photos and videos, albums - Slideshow, preloading, without trans effect, direction
With preloading so that the next photo is displayed in full.
Without transition effects, making it easy on the eyes and allowing the photo or video to be seen immediately.
Option to choose the order so that it is not from newest to oldest, but as the photos were taken.
The order could be based on the order of photos in the album, but currently it is not possible to set an order other than newest to oldest in albums, which is usually the opposite of what is desired.6 votes -
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.

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.…

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…6 votes
