  1. Add a setting to set additional paths for automatic photo backup

    Currently, the automatic photo backup feature on Android only looks for photos in the Camera and Screenshots folders. I'd like for there to be a setting to add additional folder paths that will be backed up, so that for example photos in my downloads folder will get backed up.

  2. Limit date range on photos backup

    Currently the photos backup feature for proton drive appears to be "all or nothing", uploading all photos on a device at once. It would be very convenient to be able to set a date range for backup (or really, set any parameters controlling which photos get backed up).

  3. File management paradigm change

    Hum... I can't edit nor delete my first post about that, so I try republishing it... 🤔

    ♻️ File management paradigm change
    This is a repost (deleted my former suggestion) as suggested by another user, to make it more clear, thank you. ❤️
    I'm a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest technologies since 40 years.

    Unfortunately, I still see very old concepts and ideas still being implemented today by default, not because they're good, but because we're suffering from operational blindness.

  4. Proton Docs: download to docx and PDF does not work properly, format is messed up

    The formatting in Proton Docs looks beautiful, however as soon as I export it to docx, the formatting is messed up.
    Also, with the download to PDF the format is changed (puts content on 2 pages even though there would be enough space on one). I would expect the format to stay exactly as I see it in the Proton Docs when I export it.
    Therefore, it's not usable for printing a doc / exporting a doc. Currently, it's not an option to completely change to Proton Docs.

  5. Ability to select a table and change the font for all of the cells

    You need to be able to select a table and change the font for all of the cells. I have had to change the font every single time. It is ridiculous that you cannot do this automatically.

  6. Add support for exFAT filesystem

    Proton Drive appears to only support NTFS, APFS. Incredibly frustrating to learn that the drive I'd like to use for backups isn't compatible with the service I've paid for due to the filesystem not being supported; exFAT is a fairly common cross-platform filesystem for external drives and is super useful for those going between operating systems and devices.

  7. Allow synch for network drives

    All my datas are on my NAS and I would like to be able to sync selected folders to proton drive. Unfortunately Network drives are not supported which doesn't make sense...

  9. Consistent Styling

    Disregarding that Docs and Sheets do not have any selectable themes like in the main Drive page, there are two inconsistencies:
    1. Tooltips in Drive show above the mouse cursor while tooltips in Docs and Sheets pop up below the cursor.
    This is actually also an accessibility issue as using a slightly larger mouse cursor will partially hide any information the tooltip was trying to show
    2. Docs and Sheets have inconsistent menus. Sheets have the conventional "File, Edit, View, ... , Help" menus while Docs lack many features to fill menus but hides everything else in an overflow menu.…

  11. View-only link access (prevent download)

    Hello,

    A drive link version with view-only access is an essential and attainable feature. This is paramount for one-time actions, such as ID verification, where a file must be marked 'verified' by the recipient, but need not be saved.

    Yes, the file may be captured as a screenshot, and processed thereafter, but this effort and lower resolution will discourage those who may absentmindedly download the file to keep 'a copy on hand', with no thought to its security.

  12. Set External Drive as main location

    My mac is the lowest spec but because of the speed of M processors it runs all my software for work better than any PC i've ever had. The cost of having a massive storage space inside my Mac is the reason I cannot use Proton Drive at the moment. I have 1TB external SSD which is my Dropbox location, if I could set Proton Drive to my external SSD as the main folder my life would instantly be better. I actually love how Proton Drive functions and am desperate to get out of the chaotic Dropbox ecosystem. Please explore…

  13. Multi account on Proton Drive PC application and access history in docs by email

    Multi accounts on Proton Drive PC application (like Proton Mail) would be very helpful for users who have more than 1 account to manage, we need to make loggout and login again on Drive creating every time a new folder in PC w/ different names to access the documments on the cloud. it makes everything confuse and impractical.

    Additionally, I suggest to implement an access history for docs by email/PC-ID and an easy buttom to download the registers (for controllers/creators) - very useful for business access control and compliance.

  15. Proton Docs: Integrate Lumo + Increase Docs file size!

    • It would be nice to ask Lumo while working inside Docs to run spellchecks or change the tone of your text etc.

    • i was working on a document that has alot of images, and suddenly i get an error that the file was getting too large and i couldnt edit anymore.
      It seems that Proton Docs has a limit per document of 25mb, seems a bit low compared to competitors? Now i have to split this thing up in multiple parts.
      I dont understand why there would be a size limit when Word is practically unlimited, especially for paying users.

  16. Add more right-click (context menu) functionality please!

    Dropbox has a robust Right-click feature set in Windows Explorer. Proton needs the following:

    • Purple P icon in every context-menu item (for quickly finding the set of commands)
    • Copy Proton Drive link
    • Sharing options of different sorts
    • View on Proton Drive Website
    • Make online-only
    • Make available offline

    Among others!

  17. Create share link for folders & files from within the desktop app

    Currently, to create a share link you have to visit drive via web browser to create a shareable link. It would be great if this feature was available either on the desktop app, or in the right-click dropdown menu like dropbox provides.

  18. 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!

  19. Webinterface Uploading: Better handling of unfinished uploads / optimize overwrite option dialog window

    Currently, when an upload fails, you probably just want to restart and continue the upload. Imagine you have 300 folders with 17.000 files inside to upload and at some point the upload fails. So you are left alone with a complete file structure but with unknown file completion status.
    But if you just try to upload to the same folder structure again (overwrite), it recognizes that the folders are already there, but you only have the option to overwrite EVERYTHING, which can take a lot of time and is not what is needed in this situation. There is no option…

  20. Add sharing of photos to other apps from Drive Mobile

    Now photos can only be looked at but nothing else.Adding option to send photos with apps as an attachment would be good.
