1. Proton Sheet public link with expiration and password from Proton Sheet directly.

   This one is an easy one, and the title speaks by itself.
   With a Proton Drive link, when I create a public link, I have the option to set a password and an expiration date. It is possible to share a Proton Sheet from Proton Drive this way, which is OK, but not from Proton Sheet, which would be even better.

2. Bug report to Proton Support: A shared Proton Doc with view-only permissions displays a blank page

   There's a bug in Proton Docs: sharing a Proton Doc with view-only permissions between Proton IDs (direct email invitation, NOT via public link) shows a blank page to the recipient. The only way to view the document is to open its history. This affects both free and paid Proton accounts equally.

   Additional Details:

   Browsers tested: Firefox, Vivaldi, Edge, Chrome, Mulvard — same blank page result in all
   Accounts tested: Multiple Proton accounts (3+ different sender and recipient accounts) — consistent issue
   Reproduction steps: Switching sharing permissions from Editor to Viewer in all instances produces the same result
   Mobile (Android): Same blank page issue occurs on mobile
   Critical finding: On mobile, when opening File Details for a document shared with view-only permissions, it still displays 'Permission: Editor' instead of 'Permission: Viewer' — suggesting the permission change may not be properly applied or recorded

   Workaround: Opening the document history allows viewing the content despite the blank page issue.

3. Allow renaming files within MS Word

   Something changed in the background and I'm no longer able to rename a file from inside MS Word for files that are stored locally (or online) on my Proton Drive. There is something wrong with permission structures between Microsoft and Proton Drive.

4. Proton Drive’s session management - Persistent login session

   Hi Proton Team and Community,

   I would like to raise a security-related suggestion regarding Proton Drive’s session management.

   Currently, Proton Drive maintains a persistent login session, which is convenient from a usability standpoint. However, in certain scenarios, especially when dealing with sensitive or confidential documents, this behavior can pose a security risk.

   Unlike tools such as Cryptomator, which require authentication (e.g., PIN or password) every time the application is accessed, Proton Drive does not currently offer an option for an additional local authentication layer or automatic lock on device access.

   You guys already do this with proton pass.

   Suggestion:
   It would be highly valuable to have an optional feature such as:

   A local PIN or password lock when opening Proton Drive
   An auto-lock after inactivity (configurable timeout)
   A requirement to re-authenticate on device unlock or app reopen

   This would significantly enhance security, particularly for:

   Shared or occasionally accessed devices
   Work environments handling sensitive data
   Users who prioritize stricter session control over convenience

   Importantly, this should be an optional setting, allowing users to choose between convenience and stricter access control.

   I believe this feature would align well with Proton’s strong privacy and security positioning.

   Thank you for considering this suggestion.

5. Private Secure Podcast Hosting by Proton using FOSS Castopod

   I realize that someone could self-host their podcast (using free hosting software from Castopod) and distribute their podcast that way, but most Netizens are not going to go that route. I propose a podcast hosting solution that is based in a more privacy-friendly country like Switzerland.

   If Proton hosted Castopod software on their servers, that would create a private, podcast hosting option that could also be spun-up quite easily. Proton could also limit its support to the most basic set-up issues, with users accepting terms upfront that only initial configuration support will be provided by Proton while also clarifying that Proton's role is to provide private and secure hosting for the Castopod software.

7. Ability to browse My Files added to Proton Drive in Proton Drive PC app

   After downloading the Proton Drive desktop app I have the ability to choose there which folders do I want to sync but to access My Files added to Proton Drive I have to go to File Explorer. I would love to have it in one place and not only have the ability to sync files from my PC through the Proton Drive desktop app but also to have there all My Files added to Proton Drive.

8. I frequently experience issues with input not being accepted on my iPad Air and Magic Keyboard.

   I tried inputting text into Proton Sheets using an 11-inch iPad Air M2 and the official Magic Keyboard, but the following problems frequently occur:

   • Pressing the cursor keys does not move the cell.

   • When typing text with the cursor in a cell, the typed text is not entered into the cell (the typed text does not appear anywhere on the screen, and there is no response whatsoever).

   The conditions under which these problems occur are unclear. Sometimes, tapping the screen several times will allow input to be accepted, but often this does not.

   In any case, these are basic bugs, and it seems that Sheets has not been tested with a hardware keyboard. Until these are fixed, I cannot continue to use Sheets. I hope for an immediate improvement.

9. Better aligned functions between the apps on separate devices

   For example: I can share a file/folder from my mobile phone Drive app, and get a link for this. I can even look at the shared files in the dedicated section 'Shared' and flick between 'Shared with me' and 'Shared by me'. Why can't the latter also be part of the desktop app? It would save me a lot of time.

   Also, 'Create document' would be great in the desktop Drive app, even if it opens my desktop browser to do so, but a dedicated document app would be fantastic!

10. Native DLP Capabilities for Business/Visionary Plans

    As an Information Security Consultant currently advising small and mid-sized organizations on migrating from legacy suites (specifically Microsoft 365 E3/E5) to privacy-first, sovereign European alternatives. While Proton’s zero-knowledge architecture is the gold standard for data confidentiality, my risk assessments consistently identify a significant gap in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities for Business and Visionary tiers.

    Current compliance frameworks (GDPR Article 32, ISO 27001, SOC 2) require not just encryption at rest/in transit, but active controls against accidental or malicious exfiltration of sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI-DSS).

    Proton excels at preventing external interception. However, it lacks the ability to inspect outbound content for sensitive patterns before encryption or during the sharing workflow. Without native DLP, organizations cannot enforce policies to block the accidental sharing of unencrypted sensitive data via email or Drive links, nor can they generate audit logs for compliance reporting regarding data movement.

    To make Proton a viable "drop-in" replacement for M365 Enterprise in regulated sectors, I recommend implementing:
    - Pattern-Based Detection: Regex matching for sensitive data types (e.g., IBANs, SSNs, Passport IDs) on outbound emails and file uploads.
    - Policy Engine: Granular admin controls to "Block," "Quarantine," or "Warn" users based on data classification.
    - Audit & Reporting: Detailed DLP event logging in the Admin Console to satisfy compliance auditors.
    - Contextual Awareness: Ability to apply policies based on recipient domain (e.g., block external sharing of "Confidential" tagged files).

    DLP is the missing link between Proton's privacy excellence and enterprise readiness. Adding this capability would unlock immediate demand from regulated industries and eliminate the need for a hybrid M365/Proton deployment. I strongly encourage prioritizing this on the roadmap..

11. Normalize file names to NFC Unicode on sync to fix macOS–Windows compatibility with Korean characters

    [Problem]
    macOS stores Korean characters using NFD (Canonical Decomposition), while Windows and Linux use NFC (Canonical Composition). When files with Korean names are synced between platforms, the differing Unicode normalization forms cause file name conflicts, duplication, or sync errors.

    [Root cause]
    macOS HFS+/APFS decomposes characters into constituent jamo (NFD). The same Korean string has a different byte sequence on macOS vs Windows/Linux, even though it looks identical to users. This is a known OS-level behavior, not a user error.

    [Requested fix]
    Normalize all file and folder names to NFC before syncing, regardless of the originating OS. This is the approach used by Dropbox, Google Drive, and others to prevent this class of issue.

    [My story]
    - I live in Korea (a country with terrible privacy laws) and I have no local alternatives. I know i must be a minority but this would help me greatly

14. Ability to opt out of certificate pinning

    I want to use Proton Drive on my work computer but I can't because my work computer is secured with deep packet inspection, i.e. they have set it up to be a "man-in-the-middle" and can inspect all my encrypted traffic. Proton Drive protects against this (presumably via certificate pinning) and will not sync files up or down if the certificate is not correctly coming from Proton. This is a great security feature and I'm glad it is implemented, but it means I cannot use Proton Drive here at work. It would be nice if I could go into the settings and opt out of this feature on this specific machine. I am aware that this would mean that my files would not be private from my work's IT department, and that's totally fine with me--none of the files on here need to be private from them and, in fact, some of them are directly related to work, anyway.

    Other related thoughts:
    1) It would be OK with me if I was prompted every time I reboot the computer that the certificate is not from a valid source and do I want to proceed with what may be a man-in-the-middle attack
    2) It would be cool if there was an easy way to allow the certificate from the security scanner at work, but no other "invalid" certificates (that is, we always allow the correct Proton certificate, but we can add other certificates as a whitelist to allow them as well. Anything else is automatically blocked, as it does now).
    3) It would also be cool if there was a way to mark specific files or folders as not requiring the official/valid/pinned certificate, but all others continue not to sync if the cert is invalid. Perhaps there is a special "DMZ" folder that a user could opt-in to.

16. Using Drive for Photos albums in efficient way - smart and fast uploads

    Using Drive for albums efficiently means, in my opinion, this: I go to the Photos section, then to Albums in P.Drive, click on upload folder, and select one folder on my PC, for example, "July 2025 trip to London", and Drive loads all the whole album at once, including all photos and videos, to the Albums section without any problems, with the same file name I've already given it. But today it's not able to do this. What's the point of having a photo slideshow app if I can't upload them easily and efficiently?

18. enable creation of file & folder aliases (or other multi-instance localization of folders and files)

    I come from mac, so I'm used to creating aliases.

    Example: I have a folder with reference images. In a painting project, I select reference images from that folder. I want to only add an alias to the project file, so the reference images remain accessible when I look for them in the original reference images folder.
