Team Folder
Hello Proton team,
I’d like to share a feature request regarding Proton Drive, specifically for use within families or small groups (Duo/Family plans).
Currently, when someone shares a folder with me, it only appears under “Shared with me.” This is inconvenient for family collaboration, because:
- Shared folders do not appear under “My files,” so they feel separate from my main file structure.
- On mobile, I cannot directly save new files into a shared folder. I first have to save files into my own storage and then manually import each file into the shared folder. This is time‑consuming and not user‑friendly.

local album to proton album
The new Albums are awesome, however having to manage albums in my phone gallery and proton manually is a major design flaw. Please make it so one can sync specific local folders to proton-folders automatically, so they can be shared. This slightly cuts into this: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/49920087-shared-photo-library

Link to a Proton Drive File in Proton Sheet
Request the ability, when creating a link in Proton Sheet, to directly retrieve the link to a file in Proton Drive, not just external links.
Currently, to do this, we have to create public sharing links for our Proton Drive files, which is both inconvenient and not very secure if we share our Proton Sheet.

Use a more widely known document format (.docx, .odt…) instead of .protondoc
I recently tried to edit a document offline with OnlyOffice from my Proton Drive folder (synced with my account), and to my surprise I found that the document wasn’t supported because its format was .protondoc !
Moreover, when I save a Word document as .docx on my computer and then edit it online, a second document is created in the .protondoc format, and again it can’t be edited with OnlyOffice because the format isn’t recognized !
Why doesn’t Proton use a more common format? Is this a constraint of end‑to‑end encryption?

Drive: Search within files
The search should be able to search within files. Make that optional because it will take much longer - and probably add a small progress bar for this.

More storage capacity with Proton Unlimited
500GB storage capacity for Proton Unlimited is nowadays quite limited. Since Proton Duo offers 2TB storage, it would be reasonable for Proton Unlimited to have 1TB storage capacity.

IOS 26.1 Background image upload
Apple is providing the ability to upload images in the background in 26.1, can we expect Proton Drive to finally upload pictures in the background?

Improve Downloading and uploading speed
i know that proton drive has robust security and i think that is why probably the download and uploading speed is very slow compared to other solutions like mega. Proton Drive would be top notch with a more robust server speed. i think that 50 MB/s would be very good starting point for example.

Proton Docs: Tables- Adding "Combine / Merge cells" & "Delete cell(s)"
[Request for Proton Docs: Tables]
Could you guys consider adding the ability to "combine cells / merge cells" & "delete cell(s)" for Tables in Proton Documents?
This feature would be extremely helpful for:
I. Notetaking- creating more customizable & legible tables that can quickly & easily be referenced again in the future.
II. I ask Lumo a lot of "How-to" questions & found that pasting Lumo's responses directly into Proton Docs works well bc the text copy-pastes over pretty close to its source-formatting.
To create a Header Row with only one Column Header cell intact (eg, In a 3-column table,…

Proton Docs: Increase File Size Limit
I have some documents with a lot of images that I'd like to migrate to Proton Docs, and they far exceed the current limit. It'd be nice if the size of the docs could be only limited by how much Proton Drive storage I have left (which is hundreds of GB), instead of 25 MB per doc.

Paste Markdown into Docs
You support copying from Docs as Markdown. But copying markdown into Docs doesn't convert it to formatted text—it stays in markdown, making it hard to read.
Please extend copying markdown to a two-way - copying from docs as markdown and pasting markdown to docs.
Quite useful if copying from a markdown editor like chatgpt, github or else to Proton Docs

Allow hiding the user email in Proton Docs to avoid leaking personal data
When sharing a document created in Proton Drive with another person, if the Proton user makes a comment, the original email of the account e.g., user@protonmail.com is leaked. This is a problem in my view, particularly when an inbox has multiple aliases and domains and the user does not want to leak their personal Proton email. Please allow users to hide this information altogether when sharing documents or at least choose which alias to display. Thanks.

Fix inability to copy formulas from cell to cell correctly in sheet converted from Excel
If I enter a NEW formula in Sheets and copy it to a new cell, the formula updates automatically. But if I try to copy an EXISTING formula in a Sheet converted from an Excel file, the formula does not update. This means that my existing Excel files are mostly useless after conversion to Proton Sheets. I just can't adopt Proton when this kind of limitation exists.

Download Controls
I really wish there was a way to restrict downloads to shared videos and documents. I often times share videos that are on my drive for work, and I would like to have the option to prevent the user from downloading it, and instead have them be streaming-view only. Thanks! Great product!
