1. Proton Docs Desktop App

   Alongside the desktop Proton Drive app should be the option to have a desktop Proton Docs capability so that you can edit, create, or delete your Docs from the desktop without it having to be in the browser. Syncing across devices accordingly and the ability to work offline on the desktop. This would allow for easier use of functioning on an ongoing basis without having to do it on the web every time.

2. 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.

3. Download/export as PDF for Proton Spreadsheet

   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

7. 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!

8. Photo deduplication feature

   The Drive does not mind importing photos multiple times, even though being advertised differently.
   Examples:
   - exact same name, created date, but different last modified date => 2 copies.
   - modified photo on iPhone => 2 copies (not 1 photo with two different states)
   - importing the same photo from multiple sources => multiple copies

   This is driving me crazy, as I want to have a single version of a single photo and don't want to waste my time merging etc. The switch to Proton was supposed to be simple.

9. Proton Sheets - Conditional Formatting

   I'm really enjoying the new Proton Sheets, great work!
   The Conditional Formatting manager could use a couple of quality-of-life improvements to make it easier to work with multiple rules:
   Currently, the Conditional Formatting sidebar lists every rule in the entire sheet, regardless of which cells are selected. This can make the list very long and hard to navigate in larger spreadsheets. Google Sheets only displays the rules that apply to the currently selected cells, which makes it much faster to find, edit, or reorder the relevant rules. Adopting the same behavior would be a big usability win.
   Also, when editing an existing rule, it would be helpful to have a button or option to "Add new rule" that duplicates the current rule as a starting point. This is especially useful when you need several similar rules (e.g., different color scales or thresholds for similar conditions). Google Sheets offers this functionality, and it saves a lot of time compared to building each rule from scratch.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Use a more widely known document format (.docx, .odt…) instead of .protondoc

    I recently tried to edit a document offline with OnlyOffice from my Proton Drive folder (synced with my account), and to my surprise I found that the document wasn’t supported because its format was .protondoc !

    Moreover, when I save a Word document as .docx on my computer and then edit it online, a second document is created in the .protondoc format, and again it can’t be edited with OnlyOffice because the format isn’t recognized !

    Why doesn’t Proton use a more common format? Is this a constraint of end‑to‑end encryption?

13. Pivot Table and Pivot Chart support in Proton Sheets

    Proton Sheets should include support for Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts to help summarise large datasets. It should be easy to modify the data source, filters, columns, rows, data points and their underlying calculations, etc. Make them as powerful as they are in Excel and easy to style or format with well designed and attractive default themes (maybe include a Proton theme as well!).

14. 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.

15. 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.

17. Team Folder

    Hello Proton team,

    I’d like to share a feature request regarding Proton Drive, specifically for use within families or small groups (Duo/Family plans).

    Currently, when someone shares a folder with me, it only appears under “Shared with me.” This is inconvenient for family collaboration, because:

    1. Shared folders do not appear under “My files,” so they feel separate from my main file structure.
    2. On mobile, I cannot directly save new files into a shared folder. I first have to save files into my own storage and then manually import each file into the shared folder. This is time‑consuming and not user‑friendly.

    Suggestion

    For Proton Drive within Duo/Family plans (or groups in general), it would be very helpful to have an option for shared folders to behave like “team folders,” for example:

    Allow a shared folder to be mounted/visible directly under “My files” (optionally instead of, or in addition to, “Shared with me”).
    Let users save or upload files directly into these shared folders on all platforms (including mobile), without having to store them first in their personal space and then import them.
    Optionally, introduce a dedicated concept like “Team Folders” (similar to Dropbox), which are shared among all members of a family or group and appear in their main folder structure.
    This would be extremely useful for families who want to manage their household digitally and paperless as far as possible: for example, storing shared documents like bills, insurance documents, school papers, etc., in a single common space, without sharing accounts.

    Thank you for considering this improvement and for your work on privacy‑focused tools.

19. Non-Pageless Design for Proton Docs

    I really want to switch from Google to Proton for everything, as I am concerned about the surveillance of the modern tech era and would like to be more privacy-driven. Unfortunately, I can’t use Proton Docs for very much, though, because the professional writing features are severely limited. Personally, my priority would be adding Page Breaks to Proton Docs. This is for a few reasons:

    1) It would help students/professionals who have page requirements in their work, or anyone who wants to know how much they’ve written

    2) It would show a clear separation between distinct ideas, chapters, etc.

    3) It would allow for easier printing, since we would be able to see exactly how many pages we have. This is especially helpful for students or others who may need to pay a certain amount per printed page

    4) It would improve legibility and comprehension by breaking up the text. This is a really important accessibility feature for anyone with vision impairments who use screen readers, or whose brains get overwhelmed by lots of text at once (including myself, which is why I space everything out like this)

    5) Bonus: It would break up the computer screen. I have a hard time looking at Proton Docs because it’s just a big, landscape, white screen with zero indicators of where your cursor or text will appear or stop. This is frustrating on an aesthetic level and gives me anxiety for some reason.

    As someone who would regularly spend hours of extra time on their writing assignments making the formatting perfect with clean page breaks for new topics, headers/footers, and spacing, a page break in Proton Docs would allow me to actually use the program. Thank you for your consideration in adding a non-pageless design :).

20. Lightweight notetaking/todo app

    I’m looking for a lightweight notetaking/todo app like Google Keep. I want to be able to write quick notes and organize lists (groceries, chores, tasks, etc.) in one place. It should stay in sync between my computer and my phone so I can add things anywhere. Markdown support would be great so I can bring my existing notes into it.

    Thanks for considering this!
