Allow direct file sharing within windows file explorer similar to onedrive
In file explorer it would be nice to have the ability to right click share a file and it generates a proton drive link to share. This should function similar to how it does with OneDrive

Hiding photo albums
Allow for photo albums to be hidden, sorted, and their contents also hidden. I've got a lot of work photos in my proton drive, but I don't care browsing past all of them when I'm looking for pictures of my actual life. If I could hide them in albums, but still on hand, that would be great.

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…

Drive Mount Point
Please remove the "My files" subdirectory from the drive mount point. When setup asks where to mount the share, if I put in C:\Users[UserName]\Proton. That's where I want it. I do not want an additional subdirectory. I especially do not want one with a space in it. Just mount it where specified.

One Way Sync For Proton Drive Computer Backup
One of the primary reasons people are gravitating to Proton is for redundancy. There should be a way to set “two way sync” or “one way sync” for files and folders. Some files we would just like access to, while knowing we will not accidently move or delete them. I know that the “Trash” holds them for 30 days, but sometimes “fatal” errors can occur where files are totally lost, or corrupted. Additionally, in this vein, a new subsection of PD that functions as a read only computer or folder “backup” could solve this entirely. In conclusion, it would be…

Some way to know my work on a doc is saved
I need to know that my changes have been saved before I close out of a document. Like neat little blue or green checkmark in a corner next to the word "Saved". Thanks.

Analyze / Sort Files by Size in Proton Drive
Dear Proton Team,
I would like to request a feature that allows users to sort and filter files by size across the entire Proton Drive, not just within individual folders. Currently, it is not possible to view the size of folders or to search for large files efficiently across all folders. This feature would greatly improve the user experience by making it easier to manage storage and identify large files quickly.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards, Sebastian

Paste Markdown into Docs
You support copying from Docs as Markdown. But copying markdown into Docs doesn't convert it to formatted text—it stays in markdown, making it hard to read.
Please extend copying markdown to a two-way - copying from docs as markdown and pasting markdown to docs.
Quite useful if copying from a markdown editor like chatgpt, github or else to Proton Docs

Allow syncing to same folder location for multiple windows/macOs/linux user accounts
I am working with two different user accounts on my windows machine. One for work, one for personal stuff. I want to use the Proton Drive for both accounts. Unfortunately when I tried to set up Proton Drive on the second account to sync with the same folder I got an error message instead:
"Invalid sync folder: The folder must be empty before setting up sync"It wouldn't make any sense to choose a different folder and have everything twice on my computer
Might be related to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50135475-reconnect-desktop-app-to-existing-folder

Allow editing of photos
It would be very useful to be able to edit photos, such as cropping, rotating, and adding filters. It doesn't necessarily need to have very advanced features, just the basics.

Upload Only Sharable Link
Right now, one can create a Proton Drive folder where people can have view-only access or view and edit access.
One option I use all the time with a competitor is upload-only access. I provide a link to people where they can upload a file to me, but cannot see any other files in that folder. It's great way for people to send files to me securely, even very large files.
The interface would allow someone to select/drag files in their browser, and enter some information about themselves (name and/or email address) and then hit "Upload". This would load those…

Selecting which cloud-based directories or folders to sync to your local device
This feature allows you to select which cloud-based directories to sync to your local device. This is great for shared/office devices, as it allows you to only access specific cloud-based folders on your local device. This prevents someone from seeing the entire contents of a cloud-based directory or folder (OneDrive has this feature).
