Proton Docs / collaboration suite
(folders and docs similar to GoogleDocs)
Proton mail needs some collaborative word processor and spreadsheet in a drive where people can securely work on it but only the person who owns the files can keep them and no one can download them or copy them.

Introducing Docs in Proton Drive – collaborative document editing that’s actually private: https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive
With Docs you can:
- Write with privacy — Create and edit documents within Proton Drive, knowing your contents are only accessible to you and those you choose to share with.
- Share and invite anyone — Invite other users to view or edit your documents with a single click.
- Collaborate in real-time — Changes are reflected immediately, ensuring every contributor always sees the most up-to-date version.
- View cursors and presence indicators — See who else is viewing or editing the document, enhancing teamwork and communication.
- Leave comments and replies — Add comments to share feedback without editing the document. Comments are visible to all collaborators, keeping everyone in the loop.
- Import and export with ease — You can upload .docx documents, edit them, and download in various formats like .docx, .txt, .md, and HTML.

1. I would like to upload folders or group of folders, and not only files or group of files
2. Storage space should be 1-3 Tb and not just 5 Gb
3. I concur with the laptop synching and iOS support requests -

Automatic or scheduled uploads of selected laptop/desktop files is essential. I'd be satisfied even if I had to click a button to sync designated folders whenever I logged in.

Have the option to purchase significantly more storage.

Yes the ability to have a basic cloud based document editor that is private and end to end encrypted would be amazing. To start with it could be very basic and only allow the creator of the document to edit it. The key feature for me is the ability to view and edit on any device. I might start on my laptop, made additional edits on my Android phone, then reference it on my iPad.

I'd refine the idea to add a ProtonDrive workspace on computer that leaves "no trace" of work done on files that reside in that workspace. Anything in the workspace will NOT be backed up to DropBox, iCloud, or anything else, and anything deleted from the workspace will be "bleached" out by the app. The only remaining copy of the work product will be on the ProtonDrive.

+1.
This functionnality is quite important. We most of us are using calendar on different devices and I prefer to be really sure that the info I read or write is accurate on all devices.
Another reason is that I integrate calendars from organisation/association I work with, which avoid to write things twice and to have the latest info if an appointment, a session date is modified.

Concur: "Protondrive integration with File Explorers similar to how onedrive or Dropbox works. Allow the ability to save files in File Explorer directly to Protondrive."

And when you release macOS app, please add function like in dropbox: automatically save screenshots to protondrive and make sharable link copied to clipboard.

I concur with this request. Being able to work offline on a downloaded Protondrive folder on my laptop that syncs up with the offsite Protondrive when I reconnect to internet is a must for me as it creates the redundancy I'm looking for (similar to Egynte or Google Drive File).

After sharing a file. Can we determine if the recipientt has downloaded the file?

I too want: Sync files automatically from my laptop. This is a real critical issue and make file management and updating acceptable. For now, ProtonDrive is just a place to store data you don't need to work with...Like TimeMachine.

I definitely need to share/save files with protondrive and not gdrive. I use android and really feel the need to directly use protondrive. Thanks

The ability to share a link from ProtonDrive of a working file with contacts, for example a text file for contacts to open with an online editor like LibreOffice and edit documents live online similar to how collaborative online document editors are used in ONLYOFFICE.com and Nextcloud etc.
Keep up the great work, thanks!

Couldn't they just install and run an instance of CryptPad? Why duplicate the effort?

Totally agree with this. And even if an "online docs version is a long way"... at least being able to see a preview of an Excel spreadsheet or word document. Seriously if the file isn't an image or a PDF we have to download it to see it??!! This is the most painful thing for a cloud drive. And it's actually what makes me stay on Google for the time being. Also agree on one of the comment here... Products are really great, but really are taking wayyyyy too long to come out. The calendar on an iOS browser isn't even capable of showing a monthly layout!! Hire people... There's a lot of work to be done... If possible not in a year!

At this point the company is struggling just to get Proton Calendar out of an over-a-year-long Beta; with a mobile app barely launching, and there has been no official roll out of the year-long-plus launch of Proton Mail Beta on either desktop or mobile. I'd prefer to see them focused on getting the current products (mail, drive and calendar) up to speed.
