When using Microsoft Office with Proton Drive sync, temporary Office files such as ~$filename.docx appear in Recent Activity and Trash.

These files are automatically created and deleted by Microsoft Office during normal operation, which creates unnecessary noise and clutter in activity/history/trash views — especially when working with many documents.

Other cloud storage providers such as OneDrive or Dropbox seem to suppress them from user-facing views.

It would greatly improve the overall UX if Proton Drive ignored or hid known Microsoft Office temporary files entirely.

Additional thoughts:
• If deletion/recovery notifications are enabled, they are triggered whenever Word closes a document.
• While these temporary files may still serve internal Microsoft Office purposes, they are not meaningful user documents and do not need to be surfaced prominently in Proton Drive.
