1. Rsync compatibility

   Enable rsync compatibility with Proton Drive to allow Linux users to sync files and directories for cloud backup. This should be a core feature of any cloud storage solution and makes Proton an unappealing ecosystem on Linux.

2. File versioning / prompt with options before file overwrite

   Please add this feature to ProtonDrive (tested in WebBrowser). When uploading file to ProtonDrive which is already uploaded (based on path and file name) - enable user select one of three options (probably configurable and/or ask user per file/upload session on file conflict):
   1. Add file with new name (existing functionality which appends (nn) to newly uploaded file name).
   2 Overwrite existing file with newly uploaded one (without possibility to restore overwritten files, or move previous version to Trash).
   3. Add new version to existing file (previous versions can be downloaded via new UI). Enable maximum number/size of file versions to be configured in app/web.
   Third option will be usable in future when desktop synchronization app will be implemented. This will enable to restore previously uploaded versions.

3. Preview and open .odt OpenDocument Text files

   Related to being able to export Proton Docs as .odt files (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/48607370-proton-docs-download-to-odt-feature), it should be possible to preview and open .odt OpenDocument Text files in Proton Docs. Many people choose OpenDocument files as a free and open source alternative to MS Word and Google Docs files. It’s the default file format in LibreOffice, Nextcloud Office, and Collabora. It’s the option that people turn to when they’re tired of being overcharged by Microsoft to open or write a document. It’d be invaluable to have support in Proton Docs for these files.

5. Speed Improvements For Photos

   The Photos Feature is pretty cool. I don't do much with my photos, and I'm so close to just switching to it as my primary photos app (Just use it as a backup right now). However, the very slow speed of the photos loading when scrolling through is just unusable. I don't know what exactly causes it to be slow, but my guess would be the encryption. Perhaps use a faster standard like Ente does. Thank you for your time!

8. Show Shared Folders in Mac OS Finder

   Please add the shared folders to the Mac OS Finder/Proton Drive integration. When collaborating on documents, it's too tedious to have to user the native Proton Drive app and download files to work on them. We should be able to click on a shared folder/file in Proton Drive on Mac Finder like any other file and have it open in the default app.

10. Google Takeout Import Tool for Proton Drive

    Dear Proton Team,

    I’d like to propose a new feature for Proton Drive: a dedicated Google Takeout Import Tool to streamline the process of importing data from Google Photos exports while correctly respecting the photo/video timeline.

    ---

    🛠️ Issue

    When importing videos from a Google Photos Takeout archive (photos are mostly ok), Proton Drive currently sets the file’s date based on the filesystem timestamp (e.g., when the .mp4 file was downloaded), rather than using the actual creation date stored in the accompanying .json metadata files.

    This leads to incorrect chronological ordering and loss of accurate historical context—especially for older media and large libraries.

    ---

    ✅ Suggested Solution

    Introduce a Google Takeout Import Tool in Proton Drive that:

    • Detects and parses .json metadata files included with Google Photos exports
    • Extracts photoTakenTime or creationTime values
    • Applies the correct created timestamp to the corresponding media file (photo or video)

    This ensures accurate and consistent date metadata across all imported files.

    ---

    📦 Example

    Let’s say I have these two files in my Takeout folder:

    • VID_20170621_122134.mp4
    • VID_20170621_122134.json

    With the json file having the following content:

    {
      "title": "VID_20170621_122134.mp4",
      "creationTime": {
        "timestamp": "1498044094",
        "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
      },
      "photoTakenTime": {
        "timestamp": "1498044094",
        "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
      }
    }
    

    When I upload a video to Proton Drive, it should use the PhotoTakenTime from the accompanying JSON file as the creation date. Without proper handling of these JSON files, the file download date (e.g., July 2, 2025) is used instead—resulting in an inaccurate and cluttered timeline. This mainly affects videos, as photos generally retain metadata better. A dedicated import tool is especially important for users migrating years of content from Google Photos.

    ---

    🎯 Benefit

    Adding this import tool would:

    • Preserve the original timeline of a user's photo/video history
    • Improve sorting and searching by date
    • Offer a smoother transition for users migrating from Google services

    ---

    Thanks for your continued focus on privacy and usability. I hope this feature can be considered for a future update so I can fully switch my Google Photo library to Proton Drive.

11. Photo album shared link support

    Please add shared link support to Photo albums so albums can be shared with non-Proton users.

    Drive already offers shared link support for files, folders and individual photos, but shared links for albums is a feature gap.

12. Proton Docs: Formatting Limitations

    Proton Docs lacks advanced formatting capabilities compared to Google Docs, making it unsuitable for professional documents. Essential features are missing: headers/footers, multi-column layouts, footnotes, table of contents, watermarks, and customizable paragraph styles. This forces users to choose between privacy and professional presentation quality. Proton should prioritize implementing these formatting tools to become a viable alternative for privacy-conscious professionals.

13. Page Breaks!

    This has been posted before, but always bundled with other features, and I really want to stress how important this SINGLE change is for many many novelists, academics, etc.

    Page breaks are crucial to a huge number of people who use word processors/electronic documents, as is the ability to force a page break (for a new chapter, etc.)

    Right now I have to keep doing print previews just to see what page things are on, and there is absolutely no way to control where a page break occurs. I will be forced to keep using Gdocs for my novels until this is changed, and I can't tell you how much I hate having to do that.

15. Photo albums needs love!

    Photo albums currently have exactly zero options for sort customization. Please help!
    The ability to sort by name or date ascending or descending would be greatly appreciated.
    And album groups would be next level awesomeness. For example you could make a group called "Cats", but in it have different albums for each of your cats.
    Keep up the amazing work!

17. "Move to trash" option inside the album view

    At the time of writing there is no way to move to the trash photos while previewing them inside an album. This makes deleting photos very annoying because I have to scroll to the date in the timeline where the photo was taken to actually delete it. I'd strongly suggest to enable the "move to trash" function when working with album elements.

    I was super excited to hear Proton Sheets has launched and I’m keen to move over fully, but I’m missing one key feature: PDF export. Right now the only option is printing to PDF, which doesn’t offer enough control over formatting.

    Requested export options:
    • Show/hide gridlines
    • Margins
    • Page numbers
    • Scaling mode

    Use cases:
    • Reports
    • Printing
    • Simple invoices
    • Sending view-only versions
    • Archiving as PDF

19. View or Filter UNCATEGORISED Photos (those NOT in any Album).

    For those of us who like to sort all of our photos into albums as we go along and may periodically wonder "Which ones haven't I filed anywhere yet?", I propose adding a view or filter of UNCATEGORISED Photos -- meaning, those not assigned to any album.

    This could be a filter on the main Photos tab -- or it could be implemented as a "magic" Album that cannot be edited by the user and automatically provides a view of all of the photos that do not exist elsewhere.

20. Preserve Photo Metadata

    When syncing photos, it would be better if it also created the folders being synced to save having to create them in Proton Drive and move your pictures to it. Also, make it a true sync so if I delete photos from my device, it also removes them from PD.

    More importantly. Please preserve the metadata of the original file. It's really important to have your photos with the time and date stamp of when they were taken, and also the location information. This is crucial when restoring your files.
