Hide Microsoft Office temporary files from Recent Activity and Trash
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.…3 votes -
Currently, when backing up photos from a smartphone
Hello Proton Drive Team,
I wanted to share some feedback that I hope will be useful to you.
Currently, when backing up photos from a smartphone, the folder structure is not preserved in the cloud. All photos end up mixed together in one place (or with very limited organization), even though they are neatly sorted into thematic folders on the phone (e.g. Vacation 2025, Family, Home Projects, etc.).
It would be really helpful if Proton Drive respected the original folder structure. This would allow us to find the folder names directly in the cloud without having to reorganize everything manually.…3 votes -

Proper Translation of Bulleted Lists from DOCX to Proton Documents
After Google Drive had scuffed and corrupted a handful of my documents, I recently decided to transfer my files onto Proton Drive. The service has been groovy so far, but I am afraid the formatting is not translating well from DOCX to Proton Documents. The primary issue is that many of my documents were organized with many dense, layered, bulleted lists. The bulleted lists, when transferred from DOCX to Proton Documents, tend to be "squished" all into a single layer.
I could manually "tab" the new documents to re-create the bulleted lists, but I am afraid that the dozens of…3 votes -
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…7 votes -
sheet + wrap
When wrapping a column in sheets, it should adjust the height of all rows to fit the content of that column without the need of manually adjusting it.

Maintain version history for XLSX documents
Currently Proton Drive does not appear to maintain a version history for XLSX documents. That is a serious risk for anyone who stores information in this format, because all it takes is one erroneous save (or a ransomware attack) successfully syncing, and the data is gone for good. One major argument for cloud drive use is exactly the prevention of such a scenario and frankly, when you promote a product with a 10 year version history then it adds a bitter aftertaste when that version history does not cover one of the file types where one will most need it.

Proton sheets - option to preserve formatting of origin cell when cutting
I would like the cells in my sheet to all be size 13 text with text wrap. I also have a table which has thicker border lines then the default. However when I cut and paste to move text, the original cell goes back to the default settings of size 10 text with overflow, and the cell borders go back to thin lines. I would like a cut option that leaves the original cell formatting unchanged.

Sheet: Choose encoding when import
We cannot choose file encoding when importing CSV file.
Because of I'm Japanese user, I often use Shift JIS encoding for CSV file.
There are many services that issues CSV as Shift JIS encoding in Japan.

Cloud-only Mode as the Default for Windows
Hello Proton Drive team,
Please consider making Cloud-only mode the default behavior for the Windows app, similar to the Android app.
Files should remain only in the cloud by default and should only be downloaded when the user chooses to open or download them. Users who prefer local syncing could enable it in Settings.
This would save disk space, improve privacy, reduce unnecessary local file copies, and provide a cleaner, more consistent experience across devices.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Allow users to switch to a paginated display instead of the dreadful endless scroll in photos.

Drive Mount Point
Please remove the "My files" subdirectory from the drive mount point. When setup asks where to mount the share, if I put in C:\Users[UserName]\Proton. That's where I want it. I do not want an additional subdirectory. I especially do not want one with a space in it. Just mount it where specified.

Proton Drive - merge/sync the Photos and Drive content
Right now, files uploaded through the Photos interface don't automatically appear in a dedicated folder within my main Drive structure. Similarly, photos I store manually in specific Drive directories aren't fully recognized by the Photos tab. This forces users to choose between two parallel workflows instead of having one unified experience.

Auto‑create albums in Proton Drive Android backup
When the Android Gallery backs up photos to Proton Drive, the app currently uploads all images into a flat folder structure. It would be very helpful to have an option that automatically creates albums in Proton Drive that mirror the albums (folders) already defined in the device’s Gallery.
• Detect each existing Gallery album at backup time.
• Create a matching album (folder) in Proton Drive.
• Place the corresponding photos inside that album, preserving the original organization.This would make it easier for users to locate and share grouped photos without having to manually recreate the album hierarchy after the backup.

Proton Sheets charts should support open notation
Imagine you have a sheet with two columns: dates and values. You want to create a chart with this data, so you do. You intend to add to this data over time and would like the chart to automatically change with it, so you set the following for the Axis Title (=Data!A2:A) and the Value (=Data!B2:B)
The problem is that the chart's horizontal axis will not adapt to when the data ends. Instead it appears to default to 1000 rows. For time series data, this means that the chart will reach it's end, but only fill up a portion of…

Specify how many rows and columns should be the maximum in Sheets, so you can control how far the scroll goes
Currently, deleting columns in Sheets to reduce the horizontal scroll bar takes a while to delete all of the A#, B#, C# columns, so if you just want 26 columns (A-Z) it's irritating to manually delete columns. Ideally I'd love a button in the View dropdown menu where you can change how many columns and/or rows that appear in your Sheet.

Cannot Share Multiple Photos at Once
Today we can share photos one by one.
When I pick a single photo and tap the three little dots in the lower‑right corner, a “Share” button shows up. This lets me send the photo to other apps such as WhatsApp, SMS, etc.
But when I select several photos, there is no way to share them to other apps. That’s really disappointing.9 votes -
Move to folder function on Proton drive web interface should allow moves between personal and shared folders
When I move a file using the Move to Folder function on the Proton Drive web interface, it only allows files to be moved within their current folders...personal files stay within 'my files' and shared files must stay within their shared folder. Files should be able to be moved between any directory that the user has access to. Or there should be administrative settings to configure these 'Move to Folder' behaviors.
