Option to have PC and photos folders be a tag instead of a separate directory.
I upload photos and files from different locations/devices, and it's frustrating that when going through them, I have to check multiple locations. It would be better if proton had its own metadata that it used so that I could sort by uploader or file type, rather than having to check the photos location, files, location, PC location, and my laptop location anytime I want to find things. At the very least there should be a view all option, so that any functionality of discrete locations is not lost and files/photos could be sorted through as though they are in one…

Sending "Share" Invite/Link with one of the "second" Mail-Addresses instead of Main Mail-Address/Account for privacy reasons
When I want to share some documents on my proton drive with external People/Contractors it sends it with the alias and address of the "Main" Proton Account/Mail. I would like to have the option to send the Invite/Share with one of the second Mail-Addresses/Aliases I have access to for privacy reasons. I don't want to compromise my Main Account/Address/Alias just to share some files.

Remove local sync data from computer when user signs out of drive on the device
When you sign out of Proton Drive on a local computer, Mac or Windows, the synced copies of the files remain unencrypted on your local disk.
There are three simple use cases here that could be facilitated by options on the sign-out page.
- Securely remove all data from the local disk
- Encrypt the locally stored data until the user signed in again
- Leave the data as is, open and insecure - the current behaviour.
This would allow the user to choose how their data is handled when signing out.

Control how often a Proton document auto-saves
Editing a long Proton doc is becoming impossible because it auto-saves so much that it becomes unusable and lags.
Is it possible to control the auto-save settings so that it only autosaves every (e.g.) one minute rather than after every keystroke. It's not a problem for small documents but it is for bigger than 8-10 pages.

Share-Icons that show password protection and expiry date
Currently, an icon only lets the user know if a file or directory is currently being shared.
It would be awesome to enhance the icon a bit (e.g. with a little clock in the corner of the icon) if the user set an expiry date for the folder. This way I do not have to click on the icon and then on the settings icon in the dialogue to check if it is set.
The same can be done for password protection: Adding a little padlock quickly lets the user know that a password has been set for the shared…

Show backup status in Proton Drive App
In the "My Computer" tab of proton drive, I'd like to be able to see the progress of each folder's sync. It could be a percentage or a fraction view, showing the number of gb transferred vs gb left.
Also, having more options for syncing would be preferred as well such as the ability to pause computer sync to allow items in the sync folder to sync ("My Files") or being able to set the batch size from 4 to something larger (for example when transferring many small files)

Access trash from proton drive app
Right now, the Proton Drive app shows minimal information about the trash bin. Users have to log in to the website in order to see or delete the trash.
This could be construed as predatory to new users since the trash both takes up space (rapidly if you have computer backups) and is never deleted without manual intervention. The app makes it look like you're running out of space even if that space might be primarily made up of trash bin items.

Better android app PDF viewer
Currently in the Drive android app you can read PDFs stored on your drive but the reader lacks features, mainly the ability to quickly go to a page or scroll fast. Currently, if you want to read page 100 of a PDF you will have to swipe 100 times which is quite unpractical. Adding a button to go to a specific page by entering its number or a slider that lets you scroll through the whole PDF by sliding it on the length of your phone screen (like in adobe's acrobat reader) would help a lot.
Also making clickable links…

Buy and integrate Filen.io as a replacement for Proton Drive
Really, Proton Drive is an important idea but it's taking forever to become a viable product. Meanwhile Filen.io has been running for a while, is similarly security-focused, and already offers a sophisticated set of desktop, mobile, and web clients. Additionally Filen properly supports Linux along with other OSes, which so far Proton seems unable to accomplish. How about completing your service by boosting it with a Filen acquisition?

Pictures in Drive show on Photos
We can upload picture files to the drive and organise them according to our needs with Folders... BUT, we cannot see those pictures in the Photos tab?!
It would be great to see the Photo's tab include all photos whether in the 'My Files' section or uploaded onto 'Photos'. That being said, a 'Photos' folder in 'My Files' would be a better solution to letting us create Folders/Albums and also see all the pictures in the same place.

A true synchronisation of all files and folders designated to Proton Drive. Not just photos
A true synchronisation of all files and folders designated to Proton Drive. Not just photos. For example the Documents folder, the downloads folder or the Desktop. Or any other folder on your device you want synced with Proton Drive.

Color Indicators for Prioritizing and Organizing Folders
I use drive to work with employees who are remote. It would be helpful to have a way to color code folders/contents for what I'd like them to work on first.

Make shift-clicking selection boxes allow multiple non-continuous selections like gmail.
Most software that has selection boxes (eg gmail) allow you to shift click one sequence of files, then shift click another sequence of files and create a non-continuous selection like this: [X][X][X][X][ ][ ][ ][X][X][X].
It protondrive though, trying to do this causes your first sequence to be replaced by your second. This is a major quality of life issue when sorting a large volume of files

Fixed-Size Progress Window in Proton Drive
In Proton Drive when uploading a folder, the progress window jumps up and down wildly as it shows more or fewer active or completed files being transferred. Can you make the window stay one size, so it doesn't look so chaotic?
Better yet, can Proton Drive just show a progress bar next to the folder, instead of a detailed window. Maybe the window with file-by-file info can be hidden in an info button next to the progress bar.
Thank you!

Checklists in Proton Docs - allow to bulk check or bulk uncheck items
Sometimes a long checklist is meant to be reused regularly.
You go through the checklist the first time, marking items one by one until all are checked.
Then next time, it's time to go through the checklist again. You have to refresh the checklist to make them all unchecked by clicking the box next to each item one at a time. In long checklists, this can be very tedious and time wasting.
There should be a way to bulk select a number of checklist items, and then bulk check / uncheck them in a single click.
Thanks for reading! Love…

Offline decrypted stored files mobile (iOS)
It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option or an adjustment to an existing feature that allows (offline) stored files to be already decrypted. Similar to how files are stored on a PC.
In the mobile app (iOS), it is currently impractical to scroll through a folder of images. This means having to manually download each image, open it, view it, close it, and then open the next one.
I am migrating from a dedicated self-hosted Nextcloud environment, where all files were also stored encrypted. However, within the app, it was possible to scroll through files in a…

Do not modify video files when uploading to/from Proton Drive from iPhone
Situation:
1. Open Proton Drive on my iPhone 15 and let it upload my camera album (both photo's and videos).
2. Open drive.proton.me in a browser and download all uploaded photo's and video's to my Windows pc.
3. Extract the archive.
4. Some of the videos have "_modified" added to the file name. This means that Proton Drive had modified them somewhere in the process, what I don't like. I want the original files for the best possible quality.There seem to be different scenarios:
1. Slowmotion video's are downloaded twice: once in the original version (eg. IMG1234.MOV) and…1 vote -
Propagate HEIC preview from "photos" to "my files" & "computers"
Currently, the photo backup option in iOS works correctly and backed up photos are previewed just fine in the web portal. But, for some reason, when this same photos are uploaded to "my files" or "computers", the HEIC preview is not available. I guess it's a pretty quick fix to enable that preview in those sections too, since it's already working on the photos section. Thanks!

Customizable Storage Quota Thresholds
It'd really cool to be able to set your own storage quota capacity used thresholds at an account level to dictate what is "warning" or critical" so everyone could decide the color coding of storage usage based on their own workflows. Currently, everything except the windows protondrive app show 3TB of 6TB (50% usage) as orange. A couple slide bars for warning/critical levels would be much more helpful.

Accessing ProtonDrive through DuckDuckGo (bugfix)
[suspected bug] Downloads from PD through DuckDuckGo could not be located anywhere on my Galaxy device. Reported to support, who recommended I try another browser. Indeed: no such problem with Chrome. But may still be worth looking into.
