Preserve Photo Metadata
When syncing photos, it would be better if it also created the folders being synced to save having to create them in Proton Drive and move your pictures to it. Also, make it a true sync so if I delete photos from my device, it also removes them from PD.
More importantly. Please preserve the metadata of the original file. It's really important to have your photos with the time and date stamp of when they were taken, and also the location information. This is crucial when restoring your files.

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?

sheets functionality
Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but
when i am typing in a cell, i should be able to hit the right or left arrow key and automatically move to the next cell over. I first have to hit ENTER to get out of editing, which moves the selected cell down a row, then I have to arrow right and up.
Repeating this process a multitude of times becomes time restrictive in cases of heavy data entry and both Google Sheets and Excel do not behave this way.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
