  1. superscript/subscript in docs

    I really like proton docs, but one of the things I am really missing is the ability to superscript/subscript in documents. It's especially important for inline citations and I think it would be a very good idea to add them. Others have already mentioned a lot of feedback like dark mode and .odt export, which are also important.

  2. Add "private link" to (sharing) Drive Document/Folder

    I'd like to be able to use "private links" to my documents in other tools. For example, Zotero is a tool to manage scientific reading material. I currently use Google Docs to store my documents and add a private link to them in my Zotero library entries. (IT is important for it to be a private link, considering that some libraries are shared or public, but I don't want to get in trouble with sharing links to copyrighted material.)

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Unlimited Storage

    I would like to see Unlimited Storage tier similar to Google Workspaces and Dropbox. It's one of the two blockers that prevent me from switching to Proton.

    The way Google and Dropbox implemented it is they don't just give unlimited storage up front but require users request increase when they approach their current storage limits. This works well to prevent abuse of the system, but it gives users who have a legitimate need for extensive and steadily but slowly growing data have a peace of mind that they will not face a situation where they are capped by an artificial…

  6. Allow to view docs while the phone is placed horizontaly

    On iOS, (haven't tested Android), I'd like to view content in horizontal mode, especially tables.

  7. View only permissions for share link (no download option)

    I would love to see a feature in share link settings that would block/remove the download option. Useful in cases where you want people to be able to preview photos for example, but not be able to easily download them. This wouldn't stop tech-savvy users but would provide some friction against the average user downloading things you may not want them to.

  8. Allow user to manually clear sync errors

    It would be great if there was a way to manually clear sync errors in Proton Drive on OSX. Like if I don't need/want Proton Drive to automatically retry a sync, say, if I've removed the file.

  9. Folder details and file versions

    On the Folder details, can it be distinguished between Upload folder and Created folder please? If Uploaded then the size and is it possible for Folder versioning? About the file versioning it would be helpful to capture accurate logs of the versions, even if a version is deleted and by whom IF we can't get admin approval for any deletion on company or host shared drive.

  10. Improve drive sync algorithm to greatly improve performance

    Proton Drive is extremely slow to upload my files, it's going at around ~200 Kbps, whereas speedtest.net shows I can do 3.62 Mbps upload.

    This is especially noticeable when there is a large number of small files to sync (eg, photo collection).

    I suspect that a potential cause is that new threads might be created to upload each individual file, resulting in the unnecessary opening and closing of many connections. Perhaps a better solution would be for each upload thread to establish a continuous connection and then pipe multiple files through that connection as raw data, which can be split…

  12. Folder structure

    Add an option in the windows Proton Drive App, to change the folder structure from:
    "Proton Drive/username/My files/DATA I STORE"
    to
    "Proton Drive/DATA I STORE".

    the current folder structure is unnecessary and confusing, the "username/My files" folders are not necessary if you have only one Proton account.

  14. Single Environment For All Proton Apps.

    With the proper vision and effort, Proton’s industry-leading encryption and great reputation could change the world of computing. Let me explain.

    Proton could be like a desktop (for PCs) and a Home Screen (for mobile devices). This "Desktop" is a file manager and a browser (automatic VPN).

    Native (one click/tap) apps: Contacts, Email, Messenger, Notes, and Calendar. All seamlessly integrated.

    No more need to keep swapping apps and environments. Inside the "Proton Desktop", the user can look up or save a document (PDF, MP3, MP4, MKV, etc...) either locally (his/her own computer/phone) or Proton Drive.

    This Proton which I envision,…

  16. Enable syncing from external drives that are Exfat formatted

    Make it possible to sync files from external SSD's/ HDD's that are formatted in Exfat. Exfat is commonly used to use the external drive on Windows and Mac together. At this point this isn't supported by Proton Drive.

  17. A Proton Drive that actually works

    I would like a Proton Drive that actually works on Windows 11.

    Issues with current Proton Drive:

    -It takes a week to synchronize 1 TB of data, this is absolutely unacceptable. Why is it not able to fully utilize my available internet bandwidth/speed or hard drive speed? Why can't it sync multiple files at a time until these limits are met? It's often faster to simply download the file from the website, but even then, it appears downloads of larger (~100gb) files get throttled or fail entirely.

    -Proton Drive says "synced" and doesn't display any additional data while it is…

  20. Allow "Change Layout" when not logged in.

    Currently when I'm logged in and viewing a folder of pictures in Drive, the default view is tiled thumbnails, which is great. And I can toggled to a list view by clicking "Change Layout" in the top right.

    However, when I create a public link and view the page when not logged in, the default view is a list and there is no option to "Change Layout." So the only way to see what the pictures are is to individually preview them.

    This is a showstopper for me using drive as my current primary use case is sharing pictures with…
