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.…2 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.…2 votes -
Allow rename of file when saving on Android app
When saving a file on Android by "sharing" from another app, you can choose the destination folder but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the name of the file before you upload it.
Suggested feature: by tapping on the current name of the file, you can change the name before tapping upload.

Add Password when exporting a ProtonSheet into xlsx
ProtonSheet is crypted, that's great. but what happens when we export the sheet?
For security reason, it could be nice to be able to add a password when exporting the sheet into xlsx (or other format if compatible)

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!

Multi-Select for make available offline
Currently the option to set photos available offline can only be done one at a time. Please make it so that you can multi-select or select all photos and make them available offline all at once.

Make cloud archiving optional
I have files that I rarely access but are critical when I do access them (e.g. manuals) and the times I need to access them are likely to coincide with my having no internet access as I sail. It would therefore be great to be able to flag folders so that a local copy is maintained even when the contents have not been accessed for a while.

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.

Improved Trash UX (Photo Previews & Bulk Selection)
Photo previews in trash: The deleted photos in trash appear like a file directory with a very small thumbnail that loads very slowly. And i can't preview them on web. I would like to see the trash folder look exactly like a media gallery and display large clear thumbnails of every photo or video that's deleted and that can be opened.
(Google photos has these features)
Multiple selection: On the mobile app you have to delete each item individually from the trash to erase it permanently which makes deleting multiple photos very time consuming. Bulk selection of photos in trash…

Bring Back Upload Rate
Proton Drive changed the UI/UX of file uploads. This change removed the MB/s indicator on the right of the file name in the upload menu on the bottom right of the page. This post requests the Proton Drive Team to re-add the indicator for the upload rate for the files.
Currently, only the total MB uploaded / total MB to be uploaded is shown for each file.6 votes -
Using Drive for Photos albums in efficient way - smart and fast uploads
Using Drive for albums efficiently means, in my opinion, this: I go to the Photos section, then to Albums in P.Drive, click on upload folder, and select one folder on my PC, for example, "July 2025 trip to London", and Drive loads all the whole album at once, including all photos and videos, to the Albums section without any problems, with the same file name I've already given it. But today it's not able to do this. What's the point of having a photo slideshow app if I can't upload them easily and efficiently?

Same folder option for copying documents
When we click to copy a document in a drive folder it brings up the pop-up menu with these options: My Files, Computers, Shared With Me. Could a fourth option be added: Same Folder? So that it would make the copy right in the same folder and we wouldn't have to click through the tree menu to get back to that folder.

Show full thumbnail in Photos preview
The photo album view is nice. It would be even nicer if it was possible to show landscape as landscape and portrait as portrait instead of having everything in portrait (cutting edges off landscape photos). With this setting the landscape photos would be equally tall as portrait photos but wider than portraits. There will probably be some white space left on the right with this view, but I think it would look nicer. Maybe have an option to show smaller thumbnails as well.

Bring back functionality with Mail
Until recently, Drive worked with Mail in the Proton ecosystem. Now, to add an attachment to iOS Mail, one needs to first transfer a file from Drive to iCloud to be able to attach it. This breaks the entire functionality between the two apps in the same ecosystem. Please bring back the ability to attach documents from Drive to Mail.

Support .tiff (Tagged Image File Format) preview in Photos
Currently there is no support for .tiff files in Proton Drive photos, adding a support for that seems important because it is very popular amongst graphic artists, the publishing industry, and photographers.

Restrict upload size for shared directory
I see as reasonable to restrict size of folder provided to someone to upload file(s) for me. I don't want to get short with space because of "my friend's" stupid idea to upload nonsenses.

Add Row/Column Groups to Proton Sheets
I track many things in my spreadsheets and grouping is a lifesaver. When I decide to track the TV series that I have watched by Season and suddenly there are 1000 rows in my spreadsheet, it would be almost impossible without grouping together first alphabetically and then by show as a secondary/subgroup. This makes it much easier to find what I am looking for and not be bombarded with however many rows in each spreadsheet.
This is one of the two main things keeping me with google sheets at the moment and I would love to fully switch over once…
