  1. Storage optimization- flag duplicate photos to merge or delete

    When I moved my photos over from Google and my phone, I wound up with quite a few duplicates that are taking up significantly more storage than needed. I don't have time to go through and find them all manually. If I remember correctly, Google Photos would gather duplicate photos into a specific folder for you to review and merge/delete the duplicates. This feature would be super useful in the photos portion of Proton Drive.

  2. PDF reader Improvements

    1. Remember Last Page
      When reopening a PDF, automatically return to the last page I was viewing — especially useful for long documents.

    2. Jump to Page
      Add a feature to jump directly to a specific page number to avoid endless scrolling in large PDFs.

    3. Comments & Highlights
      Allow adding comments and highlights to PDF pages for better note-taking and reviewing.

  3. Dont upload edited Photos from IOS as duplicate

    Currently, if i edit a Photo on IOS it uploads to Proton 2 Photos (one original and one Edited). This should not be or be optimised (maybe ask if i want to synch the original or edited Photo). Since i personally edit a lot of Photos, i have lots of Duplicates (and therefore a lot of Space used) in ProtonDrive

  4. Some feature for app

    I hope these features will be available on iOS and Android.

    It should be possible to share files from anywhere on the phone with the app so that they can be uploaded, such as photos or other types of files.

    There should be a video player within the app that supports video quality control, as well as an audio player.

    It should be possible to upload selected photos without having to obtain permission to access all photos.

    Alternative connection options should be provided in the app to solve the problem of apps being blocked in some countries, such as Proton…

  5. Add Commenter role to allow commenting without editing

    In addition to Editor and Viewer, it would be great to have a Commenter role available at the Doc and folder level, as in Google Drive.

    I'd love to allow collaborators to comment on, but not edit, any Proton Doc in a shared folder.

  7. Create/Edit excel files in Proton Drive (EcoSystem)

    It would be nice to edit/create excel files within the Proton Drive suite.

    Same functionality as https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive, but then also for Excel instead of Word documents.

  8. Duplicate a document in Proton Drive...

    Literally, the ability to duplicate a file doesn't exist on right click.. that's just so wrong to me. The only way to do it, is to open the file itself and make a copy from there. Let me do it from folder view.

  9. Add Backup Photos solution for Graphene OS

    Add real Folder-level SAF support so that the app can be used for Photo Backup in the background. Now it has to be done fully manually.

  10. Download folders from Drive on Android

    Hi,
    I would love to be able to download a folder from Drive to my internal storage. Currently I can only download files and new to recreate the folders if needed.
    This clutters my download folder and I can't find stuff.
    Thanks

  11. Make Photos visible as a top-level folder in My files

    This might be a quick functionality win for a relatively small amount of coding...

    From an Android perspective...

    (a) Make the photos (files) created and managed by the "Photos" section of Drive visible as a special top level sub-folder of the "My Files" area.

    (b) In the "My Files" view enable copying/moving between "Photos" and "My Files".

    This keeps these actions in the cloud and allows photos uploaded to Drive "My Files" as files (ie, on android, "shared" with Drive from another app), to be later moved to "Photos". No time take downloading, uploading etc.

  13. Allow editing on Proton Sheets for Mobile

    Proton Sheets works well on Laptop/Desktop but when viewing via the Proton Drive app on mobile (I have a Google Pixel 6a) the message "Screen too small for editing"... is displayed.

    Flipping to landscape allows editing but the keyboard takes up the whole screen so it's obvious Proton Sheets was designed only only to be used on larger devices at this stage.

    Would be good if work were completed to enable editing and generally update the mobile app so that Proton Sheets is truly functional via mobile.

  14. Secure Folders (without synchronization to Windows, passwords)

    Extra folders that are not synchronized to the Windows drive via the Proton Drive app.
    For Secure Folder, have the option of password protection.

  15. Plaintext and source files editing

    It would be great to be able view and edit plaintext or source files.

    • This one feature would allow to work with dozens of file formats in different programming/scripting languages, config files etc.
    • It would allow to create quick txt/md notes, where the full blown rich text editor is not required/desired.
    • It would allow to use Markdown note vaults, like those used by Obsidian.
    • It would allow to use tabular data in CSV format, which might cover some use cases for the (currently missing) spreadsheets feature.

    In the future, it would be also nice to have some syntax highlighting for…

  17. Feedback Request: Enhanced PDF Export Feature for Proton Docs

    Dear Proton Docs Team,

    I am writing to provide feedback regarding the PDF export functionality within Proton Docs.

    My feedback pertains specifically to the current PDF export method. It appears that the "Export to PDF" option currently relies on the browser's native "Print to PDF" feature. While this offers basic functionality, it introduces an unprofessional element into the exported documents: the inclusion of the document's URL in the footer of every page.

    This behavior is particularly problematic when documents are intended for professional use, client presentations, or formal sharing. The presence of browser-generated headers and footers, especially the URL, detracts…

  18. 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.

  19. Proposal to Add Version Control System (VCS) Support to Proton Drive

    Dear Proton Drive Development Team,

    I hope this message finds you in good time. First of all, I'd like to thank Proton Drive for the excellent services it offers. Your commitment to security, privacy, and ease of use, in particular, makes your platform indispensable for many users.

    However, I have a suggestion for a feature that could be added to Proton Drive for software developers: Version Control System (VCS) Support.

    Why Would VCS Support Be an Opportunity for Proton Drive?

    Version control has become a fundamental tool in the software development process. It allows teams to efficiently manage their projects,…

  20. Allow for copying (a selection of) files from one album view to: another album or a new album

    I want to be able to make an album with all the pictures of one broad category say: Animals,
    I make an album named: Animals. And i select and add all the pictures of animals to that Album.

    Now i want to make an album named: Cats.

    Then i want to be able to navigate to the: "Animals" Album and select from there all the pictures of cats.
    That makes it so i wont have to scroll so much trough my whole library on desktop while images load slow.
    I then already have a subcollection to choose from.
