  1. Drag and drop files into sidebar (Web version)

    At the moment (in the web version) one can only drag and drop files from the list of files to a folder in the top bar (My files > folder 1 > Folder 1.1, etc), but I need to be able to drag and drop files directly into folders in the left sidebar.

    Another thing important for this feature to work well is to be able to expand the left sidebar, so the entire folder names are displayed.

    ps. does this feature exist in the desktop app yet? I'm not using the app yet because my mac is too old...

  2. All uploads of any kind should by accessible in My files

    The way proton drive fractions everything into incompatible storage areas makes no sense. I just need a folder to store my files, synced across all devices. Depending on how I try to add files they go to:

    • a photos bucket that isn't in "My files"
    • a "My computer" section that seems to also not be in "My files" (and seems to split things out by device)
    • ??? if I try to drag and drop them between two file explorer windows on the local machine
    • "My files" if I open the web application and drag them in there (abandoning the Proton…

  3. Bug report to Proton Support: A shared Proton Doc with view-only permissions displays a blank page

    There's a bug in Proton Docs: sharing a Proton Doc with view-only permissions between Proton IDs (direct email invitation, NOT via public link) shows a blank page to the recipient. The only way to view the document is to open its history. This affects both free and paid Proton accounts equally.

    Additional Details:

    Browsers tested: Firefox, Vivaldi, Edge, Chrome, Mulvard — same blank page result in all
    Accounts tested: Multiple Proton accounts (3+ different sender and recipient accounts) — consistent issue
    Reproduction steps: Switching sharing permissions from Editor to Viewer in all instances produces the same result
    Mobile (Android): Same…

  4. Extend App compatibility to older Operation Systems

    It would be great if you extend the Proton Drive compatibility to older systems (like OSX 12 Monterey). I don't think it would need a significant amount of work and would benefit plenty of people (me included).

  5. "recent" files in Drive so I can access files faster than clicking through my library to get to each individual file

    In the subject above--this might be able to be an option in that dropdown menu on the left side of the screen that currently just mirrors file paths.

  6. Proton Docs: use pt instead of px, or offer choice

    I just tried Docs für the first time and the first thing that springs to my eye is the font size showing "px" as measurement. Being curious about this I downloaded a test doc as .docs and opened it in Word, which showed the correct size in points (e.g. 16px -> 12pt).
    While I am happy that the measurement unit is no mistake and is converted correctly, I still wonder why Proton chose to go with px instead of pt while still offering the same sizes as other text editors, just using px as unit.

    While the average user might…

  7. See date instead of file name

    When I view a photo inside the Proton Drive gallery, I would like to see the date of the photo rather than the file name, as I find it more useful.

  8. Allow the ability to download multiple files without having them bundled inside of a .zip file from the web interface.

    As it stands, on the web interface, if you select multiple files to download within a folder, they automatically get bundled into a large .zip file.

    It would be nice to have an option to instead have the files queued up to be downloaded separately.

    I'm aware you can individually click download on each file, but I'd like to be able to use the checkbox to select all files in a folder and queue them up as separate downloads.

  9. In iOS Proton Drive app, allow to upload more thant 10 photos at once

    I use the feature professionnally a lot, always for more than 10 photos, and every time have to repeat the operation multiple times so I can upload everything that I need to. This limitation is extremely frustrating.

  10. Possible unintended logic which leads to conflict when sync

    I've created an app which saves data to Proton Drive folder. The issue happened was:
    - When repeatingly save to a file, Proton Drive fails to sync, eg. press Ctrl+S continuously
    - When saving multiple files at once, happened to fail too

    I guess the issue is when a file is changed, Proton uploads immediately, but instantly while Proton Drive is uploading, the file is changed, and it conflicts.

    Other drives such as MEGA, Google Drive, seem to upload only after a few seconds when the file is idle.

  11. Fix the Photos Sort Order Bug

    (NB Photos in browser: android app seems to sort properly.)

    I have many photos, mainly jpegs, that pre-date the digital revolution. I have scanned/re-photographed these old photos either from negative or print and have fixed up the "date taken" to correspond with when the original photo was taken. For people with full family collections this is probably not unusual.

    I am trying my best to migrate my photo library to Proton, but the its the little things that are annoying: the main photos sort by reverse date taken, UNTIL you get to about 1970 (I have tested this) - older…

  14. Make `Upload from` selector hierarchical in `Photos backup`

    It's nice to select or unselect backup for "Screenshots", "WhatsApp Images", etc.

    But my phone stores photo bursts each in a separate subdirectory in
    .../DCIM/Camera/BURST/<folder_per_burst>/<few photos>.JPG

    It's unmanageable to go and click on each burst folder to back it up,

    If I was able to select that BURST folder for backup and HIDE this tens if not hundreds subdirectories from the list, that would be wonderful,

    I guess such little details more important than big new features, because this is what makes a product stand out. There are many half-done products, but few that feel truly polished.

    And using opportunity…

  15. Select all NON favorite photo's

    Currently it's possible to select all favorite photo's easily, but I'd like to select all NON favorites. In that way I can easily delete all NON favorite photo's, and leave the favorites untouched.

    Another idea would be to protect all favorites from deletion

  17. Add compression to photos and files?

    It would be great to add compression to photos and files inside the drive, similar to filen.io.

    For the sake of making it profitable Proton can decide to allow such feature for the lowest subscription tier.

  18. Create a map and file location link, for quick acces to view or open a map or file

    Working together faster. Create with right mouse button a file link, of the location, for people who already have acces to the main map, but can easily find and view/open a particular map or file, by clicking the link. People who dont have acces, cant open the link, because you need to be signed in and granted acces tot the location.

    Im trying to get a group of 'new users' enthusiastic, to invite them to make and use a free account as an first step, to get acces to the map and files, but it's a bit difficult to show…

  19. web client: Show upload/download speed and ETA

    When you download/upload a file with the web client, it would be very nice if you could see the download/upload speed per second and an ETA (left: 5min12s - finishes at 13:46).
