  2. Add Shared Folders to Proton Drive Sync

    My wife and I fully utilize the Proton sharing features across the platform. We share files in Proton Drive, but the biggest gap for us is not being able to sync shared folders/files (using Proton Drive Sync for MacOS). The only way we can access the files that have been shared is through the Proton Drive web application.

    Why is it so important that we be able to sync using MacOS?

    Because we heavily utilize the MacOS Spotlight feature to find specific files that contain specific search terms in the body of the document. For reasons we understand, this feature…

  3. Proton Docs: documents should use odt format by default

    Even if docx is a format more used, Proton should use odt instead as it is an open and standardized format while docx is proprietary and belongs to Microsoft.

  5. Proton Drive command line interface (CLI)

    Could Proton Drive develop a command line interface for cp, mv, rm commands, similar to aws s3 cli?

  6. Expand files types that can be previewed

    Specifically, I would like to preview Open Office files for text .odt and spreadsheets .ods. It is very helpful to view .pdf.

    Thank you for all you do to preserve privacy.

  7. Table of Contents :: Proton Docs

    Thanks for making Proton Docs!

    Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?

    Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.

    Thanks again!

  8. Linux FUSE mount

    There's currently no method to securely access Proton Drive as a filesystem on Linux.

    I request an application that can be used to mount a drive to the filesystem with on-the-fly encryption/decryption.

    The application should ensure some level of security, such as not storing the account password on the machine, and requiring 2fa at mount time.

    This is because the current mechanism people are using, rclone, is not secure: it is almost trivial for malware to copy the rclone configuration file to obtain the user's Proton password. (It is encrypted using a symmetric encryption, with a static key readily available…

  9. Offline access in Linux Proton Desktop app

    I was very pleased to see the release of the Proton desktop app for Linux. This feature may be coming along with the full release, but it would be excellent to have offline access to my mail and calendar through the app.

  10. Share Photos folder

    It's great we can finally sync our photos automatically with Proton Drive, but now, we'd like to share them.

    I would like to be able to share the whole folder with people from my family account.

    Congrats for all your great work !

  12. Edit and view .txt files in drive

    Would proton drive be better with a built in plain text editor? I think the answer is a resounding yes!

    Plain text documents are the backbone of modern computing. This feature would allow for the quick creation and storage of information like code snippets, sensitive information, journal writing, and much more.

    core features:

    • create new .txt

    • edit new .txt

    • preview/view .txt

    • rename .txt

    • password protect .txt

    eventually:

    • add in line numbers

    • attach file to email

    • group/shared edit .txt file

  13. Linux cli app for Drive

    It would be great to have a Linux app (can be CLI, I don't need a GUI) that syncs the drive with local storage. I'm using Dropbox now who have a Linux client, but it's proprietary so I cannot run it on Asahi Linux for instance. Or FreeBSD. Or any other open source OS for that matter. I think a great addition for a lot of your privacy-aware clientele.

  14. File Search

    Filename based Search functionality within Proton Drive...

    I don't necessarily mean searching for File-Content, this is difficult to achieve in a fully encrypted setting (albeit not impossible, if the indexing tool would run local or in a sand-boxed mode and the actual index database would be stored as a file on the actual encrypted proton drive account.... )

    But rather just a search for file name (even partial names etc...)

  16. Multiple Shared Drives / Folders

    We request the introduction of a feature in Proton Drive that allows users to create and manage multiple shared drives, each with its own set of users and permissions. These shared drives should be fully integrated into the Proton Drive ecosystem, appearing with a complete hierarchy of folders and files across all platforms (web application, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).

    Feature Details:

    Multiple Shared Drives: Users should be able to create distinct shared drives for different projects or groups. Each shared drive should operate independently, allowing for separate management of users, permissions, and storage quotas.

    User and Permission Management: Administrators of…

  17. drive / document editor / onlyoffice

    Hello world.

    I had to upgrade my account just to see there is nothing worthy in the PM Drive except simple file storage. I will cancel my subscription. It would be nice to only see what is available in Drive for free.

    I am considering move away from Google. But Drive with Document Editor is essential.

    Please consider adding online document editor to PM Drive, for instance OnlyOffice.

    Thanks :-)

  19. Transfer files from Dropbox

    I am excited for Proton Drive and watching its Beta progress. Most of my current cloud storage is on Dropbox. Hoping that Proton will introduce a feature that allows for transfer of files directly from Dropbox to Proton Drive, similar to the import contacts feature from other providers on Proton Mail. A feature like that will be critical to my being able to migrate my files to Proton Drive. Right now my file storage is too large to migrate via download to my desktop, without a laborious multi-step download.

  20. View and edit docs without an account

    It would be cool if anyone with a shareable link could view and edit the document, similar to google docs for example.

    This would greatly lower the barrier for me to use it regularly, as I could share it when planning events or doing a group project with people that don't have proton accounts.

    I genuinely believe docs is a way better experience to use for most things I would usually use word/google/etc. for, and this would allow even more people to get familiar with it.
