Hide Microsoft Office temporary files from Recent Activity and Trash
When using Microsoft Office with Proton Drive sync, temporary Office files such as ~$filename.docx appear in Recent Activity and Trash.
These files are automatically created and deleted by Microsoft Office during normal operation, which creates unnecessary noise and clutter in activity/history/trash views — especially when working with many documents.
Other cloud storage providers such as OneDrive or Dropbox seem to suppress them from user-facing views.
It would greatly improve the overall UX if Proton Drive ignored or hid known Microsoft Office temporary files entirely.
Additional thoughts:
• If deletion/recovery notifications are enabled, they are triggered whenever Word closes a document.…3 votes -
Currently, when backing up photos from a smartphone
Hello Proton Drive Team,
I wanted to share some feedback that I hope will be useful to you.
Currently, when backing up photos from a smartphone, the folder structure is not preserved in the cloud. All photos end up mixed together in one place (or with very limited organization), even though they are neatly sorted into thematic folders on the phone (e.g. Vacation 2025, Family, Home Projects, etc.).
It would be really helpful if Proton Drive respected the original folder structure. This would allow us to find the folder names directly in the cloud without having to reorganize everything manually.…3 votes -
Proper Translation of Bulleted Lists from DOCX to Proton Documents
After Google Drive had scuffed and corrupted a handful of my documents, I recently decided to transfer my files onto Proton Drive. The service has been groovy so far, but I am afraid the formatting is not translating well from DOCX to Proton Documents. The primary issue is that many of my documents were organized with many dense, layered, bulleted lists. The bulleted lists, when transferred from DOCX to Proton Documents, tend to be "squished" all into a single layer.
I could manually "tab" the new documents to re-create the bulleted lists, but I am afraid that the dozens of…3 votes -
Web Client: Upload files alphabetically and by folder
Web Client: Upload files alphabetically and by folder
If you try to upload lots of files and folders in one go using the manual upload feature (My FIles), you might find that your uploads stop or need to be stopped, for any of a million possible reasons.
If a upload of numerous files needs to be "continued", for any reason, it would be helpful if the files were uploaded "in order" so there is a sane way to identify where to pick up from.
Currently, the uploads are done completely randomly across folders, making it impossible to easily select the…

Allow rename of file when saving on iOS/ipadOS
It should be possible to rename the file before saving the file from for example the web browser to proton drive.
Very annoying that after saving the file I need to open up proton drive, go to the correct location in the folder structure and then rename the file.3 votes -
Proton sheets - option to preserve formatting of origin cell when cutting
I would like the cells in my sheet to all be size 13 text with text wrap. I also have a table which has thicker border lines then the default. However when I cut and paste to move text, the original cell goes back to the default settings of size 10 text with overflow, and the cell borders go back to thin lines. I would like a cut option that leaves the original cell formatting unchanged.

Allow external apps to connect to Proton Drive for things like backups
It would be nice to be able to, on third-party apps, use Proton Drive for things like backups, if the app supports it, but in a secure way.
The way it could work is that supported apps could have a "Connect to Proton Drive" button, and then you would be redirected to Proton to login and connect.
BUT, instead of giving apps access to all your Drive, each app would have its own folder, that the user can explore and edit if needed (with a new External apps menu in Drive, next to My Files, Computers, and Photos etc), where…

More view options for shared folders with images
I really need more options on how to view images in a shared folder. I work as a real-estate photographer and deliver images through Proton Drive. The brokers are complaining about the lack of preview and I really need a grid-view and carousel or other options for previewing files. I will have to terminate the use of Proton if there is no option very soon!

Toggle date stamp on photos
Back in the day, when browsing through photo albums, all photos had the date stamp when it was taken in yellow letters in the lower left (was it) corner. It would be nice to have that feature so user can toggle this on. It is very nice to have when browsing through photos in browser especially (because of the larger screen).

Specify how many rows and columns should be the maximum in Sheets, so you can control how far the scroll goes
Currently, deleting columns in Sheets to reduce the horizontal scroll bar takes a while to delete all of the A#, B#, C# columns, so if you just want 26 columns (A-Z) it's irritating to manually delete columns. Ideally I'd love a button in the View dropdown menu where you can change how many columns and/or rows that appear in your Sheet.

restore multiple deleted files and folders
I would like restore many (deleted and non deleted) files and folders spanning multiple locations, all at once.
For example, this applies in cases where multiple files and folders on a PC have been infected by, say, a virus, and the files in the cloud have also become infected following synchronisation. Entire folders must be restored to a previous version to ensure that the files can be restored to an uninfected state.
Manually restoring files one by one to a previous version isn’t really an option; you’d want to do this for a specific folder, including any subfolders within it.3 votes -
Separation of pictures, docs, files and sheets via folder options
You data is encrypted on the device... so now let us decryp everything on the phone, or virtual machine or otherwise....
Point being: option per device to allow or NOT of what to even be loaded. It's not even "to be access" but "it never even shows".
This is very usefull if we want want max control, and max privacy. As in for phone? we can have our proton drive open, unlocked, and if we show someone some pictures from there, they simple can't access, not even realise, that other parts even exist.
This also means if we use our…

Manual sync on Windows
It seems that Proton Drive only syncs documents when the last change value changes, not when the file actually changed, which creates a problem. Windows has this annoying quirk where, if the file size didn't change, it won't update the meta data for the time the document was last saved, so even if you saved 10 times in 10 minutes, if the changes you made summed up to the same file size, Explorer will continue to show the change time as being 10 minutes prior, and the updated file with not be automatically synced. To bypass that you should add…

Create specific folder icons on Windows that reflect the synchronisation status of a folder. (Proton Drive Client)
On Windows, when folders are synced using the Proton Drive Client, the folder icon remains the Windows default one. It would be good to have different icons that reflect the status of the synchronisation operations.
For example, on top of the original icon
- Small green mark for "synced"
- Small blue mark for "On-going synchronisation"
- Small red mark for "Synchronisation is not active" (which could alert the user of a problem)3 votes
