Do not upload duplicate files
When I upload a file that already exists with the same name in the same folder, it is uploaded with a sequential number added. It would be better to do as other competitors do, i.e. warn that the file already exists and ask whether to upload it as a duplicate or not.

Better photo management
It would be great to have another layer of privacy for the 'photos' tab. When I go to the 'photos' tab, all my pictures are out in the open. Anyone behind me can easily see them. The album section is the same because it shows a thumbnail. It would be good if we could:
1. create private folders to store photos in or make certain photos private
2. add an additional layer before looking at pictures. (like 'My files' - you can create a folder before seeing your files)
3. a way to activate/deactivate the picture preview5 votes -

Options for shared folders for uploading.
It would be useful if, when sharing a folder, you could specify the maximum upload size and set restrictions on file types.

Proton Drive , run as a service at computer start up
Is it possible to setup Proton Drive as a service at computer startup?
Or give the ability that it can be configured that way with a program like Firedaemon Pro ? I have a remote computer gathering weather data 24/7, I have now to login after a restart to start Proton Drive.2 votes -
Multi-selection for dropdown menus in Sheets
Only one selection can be made for dropdown menus. In Google Drive, multi-selection is possible. I need this option to make the switch.

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).

Proton Sheets -- INDEX Function Bug
The Index Function in Sheets appears to have a bug. It seems you cannot index the same column or row that the calculated cell is in. The suggested result when typing the function is correct, but when the function is entered, it returns "Error, circular dependency detected."
Examples:
Value in cell A1 --> 20
Function in cell A2 --> =INDEX(A:A, row() - 1) (suggestion shows 20)
Actual Result
Value in A2 --> "Error, circular dependency detected"Expected Result (works in Excel and Google Sheets)
Value in A2 --> 20Value in cell E10 --> 15
Function in cell F10 -->…

Different storage options
We need higher and smaller storage options. If I need to buy 1TB storage, I should able to buy it without buying Duo plan. And also we need smaller plans. Some people need less storage than 500GB. So, there should be a plan which has 100GB storage.

Add ability to free up space by deleting backed up photos from device
The Android app (and iOS, too, probably) already has the ability to back up photos to Proton Drive. What would be really helpful, and for feature parity with Google Photos, is a "Free up space" option that would simple delete photos from the device that have already been backed up to Proton Drive. You could do Google Photos one better by having an option to do that on-the-fly, as well, instead of it being a manual process.

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.

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.
