  1. Proton Docs Improvements

    The ability to have a non-pageless design, a ruler, line spacing so it can be used for academic papers (think double space, 1.15, 1.5, etc...), ability to open PDFs in Proton Docs, word count, and the paint format feature. Also, please add the ability for the mobile versions of Proton Drive to edit Proton Docs in the app or a separate Proton Doc app. I love Proton Docs though it's amazing and the UI is beautiful.

    Please raise issues on Uservoice as individual requests rather than bundling them together. Also please check ahead of doing this that they haven't already been raised. Thanks.

  2. Proton Docs: Formatting Limitations

    Proton Docs lacks advanced formatting capabilities compared to Google Docs, making it unsuitable for professional documents. Essential features are missing: headers/footers, multi-column layouts, footnotes, table of contents, watermarks, and customizable paragraph styles. This forces users to choose between privacy and professional presentation quality. Proton should prioritize implementing these formatting tools to become a viable alternative for privacy-conscious professionals.

  3. sheets functionality

    Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but

    when i am typing in a cell, i should be able to hit the right or left arrow key and automatically move to the next cell over. I first have to hit ENTER to get out of editing, which moves the selected cell down a row, then I have to arrow right and up.

    Repeating this process a multitude of times becomes time restrictive in cases of heavy data entry and both Google Sheets and Excel do not behave this way.

    i have double-checked and, for the most part, Proton Sheets behaves similarly to comparable tools in regards to these kinds of interactions. i did notice some small gaps, but without a detailed description it's hard to determine what exactly you find missing. please make a report through the app if you want to share those details, and we'll take a second look at it :) - dani


    pd: i noticed that there is a difference between just typing directly into a cell, or double clicking/pressing enter first then typing. in the former, arrows do work to quickly jump to nearby cells, while in the latter the arrows will instead move the caret within the cell value. maybe that's helpful information for what you're trying to achieve! - dani

  4. Ctrl+Z shortcut is opening a new tab in Sheets

    It's a standart for Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z shortcut to undo the last action in a software.
    Proton sheets is also opening a new tab.

    I'm using Vivaldi browser on Ubuntu.

  5. Proton Sheets Suggestion

    I'm so thankful for Proton Sheets and Docs! Finally, I can leave Google Sheets and Docs. But there are a few issues I'm having: 1) when I copy/paste a URL into Sheets, it puts a ' in front of the link and it won't become a link until I remove it; 2) when I copy/paste text into a cell, there is no option to Paste and Match Style. So, if my font is set to 15, the paste shows up as 10 and I have to change it every time; 3) in Google Sheets, if I type the same words…

  6. Proton Sheets Paste as Text & Sort without Header Row

    Hello! I love that we have Proton Sheets for the first time now. This is great as another way to securely save my workbooks in the end-to-end encrypted cloud. There are two features that I would be interested in off the bat that I noticed didn't make it to the initial release.

    Past as Plain Text
    Other workbook applications have a variety of ways to paste data. I don't see any drop down for paste in either the right click or Edit menus. I would ideally like Paste as Plain Text, and maybe Paste with Formatting (but without Formulas), etc.…

  7. Sheets Cells Randomly Lose Format

    When I have a cell formatted, for time duration for instance, if I change something in a linked cell, the formatted cell will revert to a decimal number and I need to go back a reformat for the time duration to show hh:mm. Can this be addressed in the next few months? Thanks!

  8. Add a Prooton Sheet shortcut to Proton Drive.

    I only have the „Docs” shortcut and I want to use the Spreadsheets with my team.
    However, I also noticed that I cannot edit .xlsx spreadsheets from proton sheets on Mac, but on Windows this seems to work.

  9. Proton Sheets freezes when many cells are selected

    When the entire Proton Sheets document is selected (e.g. using the topmost, leftmost cell in the header region), resizing the font takes a few seconds in which the UI is practically frozen. This is most likely because all cells are actually "touched" by the code, and not just those that are marked as actually containing something.

  10. Proton Sheets

    Proton Sheets may mean nothing if a user has not used Microsoft for years.
    With the new Proton Sheets function, too few formats can (now) be imported.
    Consider that many companies and countries are leaving Microsoft for alternatives!

  11. sheets

    Allowing editors to lock the sheet (template) so that when shared with collaborators, they cannot change the template but can only make a copy of it for their needs. This is a feature already included with Google sheets (which I want to stop using altogether!).

  12. Help and Settings for Sheets

    Thanks for adding Sheets. I know it is brand-new, so hopefully you are already at work on implementing Dark Mode, a Settings panel to turn it on, and a Help menu so I don't have to refer to other spreadsheet products to learn about how to use it! Thank you!

  13. Sheets - Delete/Backspace Keys

    Pressing the Delete key in Sheets should not remove formatting of the cell, only the contents. Pressing the Backspace key in Sheets should not remove the formatting of the cell, only backspacing as needed.

  14. "Empty" conditional formatting does not work properly in Sheets

    The "Is Empty" format rule for conditional formatting in Proton Sheets is broken. It improperly applies formatting to cells that have non-formula text typed in them (meaning cells that don't start with an equals sign). It also improperly applies formatting to cells that have formulas with errors in them. It should only apply to cells that are actually empty. The only time it properly detects that a cell is not empty is when that cell has a formula in it with a valid (non-error) result.

    "Is Not Empty" is also broken in a similar way (it only works correctly when…

  15. Bug in partial column/row range selection

    The sheets supports cell ranges C2:C7, column ranges C:E and row ranges in 3:7. And it does support also partial column/row ranges like C2:E or C2:5. I love this since it's really handy when creating forms that keeps expanding overtime.

    But these partial ranges are not visualized correctly, the autocomplete tries to suggest functions and any place validating the formula (e.g. conditional formatting) fails to save it (properly).

  16. Proton Sheets - Formulas ex ods/xlsx files returns errors

    Doing a copy/paste from an ods/xlsx file returns errors where formulas where introduced (#Name!]...
    ... and it doesn't overtake the formatting (bold, underline, etc.).

    It's better to start from scratch when it goes about formulas/formatting.

  17. Sheets - Selecting And Locking Columns Bottom Values

    The behaviour of selecting the bottom values of a given column does not seem fully functional.

    SUM(A2:A) works but it does not highlight the cells to which the formula is applied and so it does not feel fully functional. Which might be the case because locking the values to SUM($A$2:$A) throws the error "#REF! Circular dependency detected".

    This functionality is available in Google Sheets.

    Thanks for raising an issue on UserVoice. As per the rules on the front page:

    • Stick to 1 idea per post for voting and discussion

    This has been removed as it goes against this rule. If you have specific ways in which Drive can be improved, please raise them individually.

    I am a paid Proton user and needed to create an account to login to protonmail.uservoice.com. This needs to be SSO and not a separate login.

  20. [Bug Report] Extended Formatting Menu Auto-Dismisses in Proton Docs (Android)

    Subject: Bug Report: Formatting Popup / More Options Menu Auto-Dismisses on Mobile
    Environment:
    * App: Proton Drive / Proton Docs (Android Mobile App)
    Description:
    When editing a document in Proton Docs on a mobile device, attempting to access extended formatting options (such as font family, font size, or text alignment) from the "More Options" (three-dot) menu causes the submenu/popup to immediately auto-close/hide before any selection can be made. Basic inline options (Bold, Italic, Underline) function normally, but advanced typography controls cannot be selected due to this UI dismissal bug.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    * Open or create a document in Proton…
