Make Proton Docs Look Like Google/Word Docs
I think proton docs looks weird because everything is centered and you don't see the page you're typing on like how you would in Google Docs or Word. Please give us an option to have it look like we're typing on a sheet of paper, thank you.

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.

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,…

Add a ruler to Proton Docs
Please add a horizontal ruler similar to Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
A ruler is extremely useful for adjusting paragraph indents, first-line indents, hanging indents, tabs, and the usable width of a document.
Without a ruler, it is difficult to precisely reproduce formatting when moving documents such as resumes from Google Docs to Proton Docs.

Besides .docx, many of us who use Linux and free/open-source software like LibreOffice Writer sometimes use .odt instead. It would be wonderful to have a direct export/download to .odt within Proton Docs

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.

Print layout for Proton Docs
I would really like to see a print layout in Proton Docs, like the default view of the desktop Google Docs client. I want to be able to see how my document will look printed out, in addition to the seamless view (à la Google Docs mobile app) that already exists, without needing to make a docx or pdf version of my doc.

Proton Drive CLI: Content-aware conflict detection for `filesystem upload -c merge`
Implement content-aware (checksum-based) conflict detection in the merge mode so that byte-identical files are skipped, avoiding redundant uploads, storage duplication, and version history pollution.
Problem
The Proton Drive CLI (
filesystem upload -c merge) resolves file conflicts by filename only, not by file content. This means byte-identical files (matching checksums) are re-uploaded as new revisions instead of being recognized as unchanged and skipped.Reproduction

Decouple Proton Drive from Proton's default email address
As I understand it, Proton Drive uses the encryption key of the default email address in your Proton account to keep your drive volume end-to-end encrypted. From my perspective as a user, this poses a significant design issue, as it presents several problems:
You cannot accept invitations to collaborate on folders or documents sent to an email that isn't the original email address used to encrypt your drive. The invitation will still appear in the Proton Drive app as pending, but you won't ever be able to accept it. Therefore, collaboration is no longer privacy-friendly, as you may need to…

Remove requirement for keyring for Proton CLI so it can be used on headless servers
Currently the new Proton Drive CLI requires libsecret and a keyring (gnome-keyring, kwallet, etc) which, if you attempt to install on a minimal headless Ubuntu server, pulls in over 50 package dependencies a lot of them for GUI based systems. Since this is a CLI tool it should not require GUI packages to use I suggest providing a "--headless" or "--no-keyring" flag for the CLI which does not depend on libsecrets/keyrings so the CLI can be used on headless servers. There are many other CLI tools that do this securely including rclone which supports Proton Drive.

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.

Allow sharing with Proton email aliases
Currently in Proton Drive, when I try to share a file with someone who is using a Proton alias — for example, foo.bar681@passinbox.com — I get an error message:
"Inviting someone with a Proton or SimpleLogin domain is not permitted."
Why this restriction? Why, in order to receive an invitation to share a Drive file, must we expose our primary email address?

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

Upload photos manually without backup
It is no longer possible to manually upload photos via the mobile app. This can be done via the website and also with older versions of the app. Now, to upload photos, you must activate your phone's backup feature.
