Add Spreadsheet‑Style Font Options to the Text Document Editor
Proposal:
When creating or editing a text document in Proton Drive, users currently have a limited set of typefaces compared with the richer font selection available in the new spreadsheet editor. To provide a more consistent and flexible writing experience across the suite, we propose extending the text‑document editor to include all the fonts that are now supported in the spreadsheet module (e.g., Calibri, Cambria, Arial Unicode, etc.).Benefits:
…Unified Design Language – Users can maintain visual consistency when embedding tables, charts, or excerpts copied from spreadsheets into documents. Improved Productivity – Reduces the need to switch between applications or manually adjust6 votes -

Allow renaming files within MS Word
Something changed in the background and I'm no longer able to rename a file from inside MS Word for files that are stored locally (or online) on my Proton Drive. There is something wrong with permission structures between Microsoft and Proton Drive.

Proton Drive’s session management - Persistent login session
Hi Proton Team and Community,
I would like to raise a security-related suggestion regarding Proton Drive’s session management.
Currently, Proton Drive maintains a persistent login session, which is convenient from a usability standpoint. However, in certain scenarios, especially when dealing with sensitive or confidential documents, this behavior can pose a security risk.
Unlike tools such as Cryptomator, which require authentication (e.g., PIN or password) every time the application is accessed, Proton Drive does not currently offer an option for an additional local authentication layer or automatic lock on device access.
You guys already do this with proton pass.

I'd like to share a photoalbum.
I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

Tables on iOS are excessively narrow
Tables that look fine on other devices are shrunk to an excessively small width on iOS devices in the Proton Drive app as well as in the Browser (tested with Safari and Firefox). In a two-column table, the width is so small that line breaks are added even for short words.

Double-click to open a shared Proton Doc
Opening a shared Proton Doc – In the web UI (https://drive.proton.me), locate the shared document, double‑click the title or the blue Doc icon (or select the file and press Enter/right‑click → “Open in Docs”). This opens the file directly in the Proton Docs viewer. The three‑dot menu only offers download, details, copy, or remove; it does not contain the “open” command. Adding this step‑by‑step tip will help free‑account users who see only the three‑dot menu and prevent confusion.

Ability to browse My Files added to Proton Drive in Proton Drive PC app
After downloading the Proton Drive desktop app I have the ability to choose there which folders do I want to sync but to access My Files added to Proton Drive I have to go to File Explorer. I would love to have it in one place and not only have the ability to sync files from my PC through the Proton Drive desktop app but also to have there all My Files added to Proton Drive.

Add fast scroll bar (jump from month to month) to albums, like in all photos
The new scrollbar allowing you to jump from year to year and month to month in the all photos list is really nice. I wish the albums had it, right now I have to create an album per year to make large albums workable.
I've tried both iOS and the web app and didn't see this in either place, although the announcement of the fast scroll bar seemed to indicate it should be there.

Separate or tag devices for Photos
When backing up photos, save each device's photo library to a separate folder or at least tag which device the photo came from.
I take personal photos on my phone and photos for my business on my tablet, I don't want to mix them up in a single collection.

I frequently experience issues with input not being accepted on my iPad Air and Magic Keyboard.
I tried inputting text into Proton Sheets using an 11-inch iPad Air M2 and the official Magic Keyboard, but the following problems frequently occur:
Pressing the cursor keys does not move the cell.
When typing text with the cursor in a cell, the typed text is not entered into the cell (the typed text does not appear anywhere on the screen, and there is no response whatsoever).
The conditions under which these problems occur are unclear. Sometimes, tapping the screen several times will allow input to be accepted, but often this does not.
In any case, these are basic bugs,…

Add to album list order
It's not clear what's the order in the "add to album" list from a selected photo. It should be by name, or better to be selectable (date, alphabetical...) or searchable with a text box.

Expand Proton Drive Search to Include Trash, PCs, and Mobile Devices
As a Visionary Plan user, I use Proton Drive a lot for storing and managing my files. It would be really helpful if the search feature could be expanded to include:
Trash Folder: Right now, finding deleted files in the Trash is hard because there's no search. Adding search here would make it much easier to recover lost files quickly.
Files on My PCs and Mobile Devices: Currently, search only works for files inside Proton Drive. If it could also search files on my linked devices, it would save me a lot of time and make managing my files much…13 votes -
Better aligned functions between the apps on separate devices
For example: I can share a file/folder from my mobile phone Drive app, and get a link for this. I can even look at the shared files in the dedicated section 'Shared' and flick between 'Shared with me' and 'Shared by me'. Why can't the latter also be part of the desktop app? It would save me a lot of time.
Also, 'Create document' would be great in the desktop Drive app, even if it opens my desktop browser to do so, but a dedicated document app would be fantastic!

Add a way to clear/hide the activity section in the menu bar window
For privacy reasons, there should be a way to clear or completely disable the activity section in the menu bar window on Mac.

Activities should never clear and be openable
In the Proton Drive app, the activity section only shows files that were just uploaded and will then clear the history. You also can't click the files to quick open them up. I think Activity should be more like a "recents" tab that shows most recent edited files for quick access where you can just click to open them.

Normalize file names to NFC Unicode on sync to fix macOS–Windows compatibility with Korean characters
[Problem]
macOS stores Korean characters using NFD (Canonical Decomposition), while Windows and Linux use NFC (Canonical Composition). When files with Korean names are synced between platforms, the differing Unicode normalization forms cause file name conflicts, duplication, or sync errors.[Root cause]
macOS HFS+/APFS decomposes characters into constituent jamo (NFD). The same Korean string has a different byte sequence on macOS vs Windows/Linux, even though it looks identical to users. This is a known OS-level behavior, not a user error.[Requested fix]
Normalize all file and folder names to NFC before syncing, regardless of the originating OS. This is the approach…2 votes -
.XLSX files - duplicate files / read-only
When opening an existing .XLSX file within Proton Drive, this creates a (1).xlsx file. Ideally it would open and update the existing file, otherwise it will continue to generate multiple duplicate files (1).xlsx, (2).xlsx, etc. Alternatively, an option to open as a read-only version here (for original uploader) might be helpful.

Bug - Date Selection in Proton Sheets via Calendar Selection broken
There is a Bug with Proton Sheets (Non-US based location) where when you double-click a date cell and attempt to change it via the drop down calendar selection box, it will mix up the day and month selection and give you the wrong date (I imagine it is mixing up day/month in the order due to a mixup between US and European date formats, juggling mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy respectively).
Example:
I begin with a "Long Date" date format in my cell and have:
Thursday, January 1 2026
I then double click to bring up the calendar drop down and select…
