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?

Mobile app - photo upload as files, not photos
Just add a choice in the mobile app to upload photos from my mobile as image files to "My Files" in Proton Drive, instead of forcing upload as photos to use in Albums (which is not accessible through the Windows client). This would give us the option to use a service or not and would also address all "uservoice" posts requesting the images to be accessible from the Windows Explorer.

Proton Scribe in Proton Docs
I recently upgraded to Proton Duo purely to get access to Proton Scribe. I just assumed it would be built into both the email client and Proton Docs but now see this is sadly not the case.
Given how tech and office environments are developing, including this functionality is arguably already critical to keep Proton docs competitive and attractive to users.
Please consider adding a Proton Scribe feature in Proton Docs -- it would hugely simplify and improve my work, and I'm sure that of many others.

Add Commenter role to allow commenting without editing
In addition to Editor and Viewer, it would be great to have a Commenter role available at the Doc and folder level, as in Google Drive.
I'd love to allow collaborators to comment on, but not edit, any Proton Doc in a shared folder.

Duplicate a document in Proton Drive...
Literally, the ability to duplicate a file doesn't exist on right click.. that's just so wrong to me. The only way to do it, is to open the file itself and make a copy from there. Let me do it from folder view.

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 syncing to same folder location for multiple windows/macOs/linux user accounts
I am working with two different user accounts on my windows machine. One for work, one for personal stuff. I want to use the Proton Drive for both accounts. Unfortunately when I tried to set up Proton Drive on the second account to sync with the same folder I got an error message instead:
"Invalid sync folder: The folder must be empty before setting up sync"It wouldn't make any sense to choose a different folder and have everything twice on my computer
Might be related to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50135475-reconnect-desktop-app-to-existing-folder

Make Photos visible as a top-level folder in My files
This might be a quick functionality win for a relatively small amount of coding...
From an Android perspective...
(a) Make the photos (files) created and managed by the "Photos" section of Drive visible as a special top level sub-folder of the "My Files" area.
(b) In the "My Files" view enable copying/moving between "Photos" and "My Files".
This keeps these actions in the cloud and allows photos uploaded to Drive "My Files" as files (ie, on android, "shared" with Drive from another app), to be later moved to "Photos". No time take downloading, uploading etc.

Upload Only Sharable Link
Right now, one can create a Proton Drive folder where people can have view-only access or view and edit access.
One option I use all the time with a competitor is upload-only access. I provide a link to people where they can upload a file to me, but cannot see any other files in that folder. It's great way for people to send files to me securely, even very large files.
The interface would allow someone to select/drag files in their browser, and enter some information about themselves (name and/or email address) and then hit "Upload". This would load those…

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?

Make Photos on Drive more like a Photo Viewer over File System
The photos viewer is nice but it would still be good to view the photos as normal files as part of the file system and makes them syncable to computers.
This would allow the user to manipulate the photos once they're in Proton Drive and limited to the UI. Once you upload them, it's almost like they're inaccessible to anything but viewing.
It would also allow the user to organise/rename/edit the photos on their local computer rather than them being "hidden" away and only accessible in the UI. Although there are albums for organisation, folder based organisation would also be…

Drive Mount Point
Please remove the "My files" subdirectory from the drive mount point. When setup asks where to mount the share, if I put in C:\Users[UserName]\Proton. That's where I want it. I do not want an additional subdirectory. I especially do not want one with a space in it. Just mount it where specified.

Allow Proton Business admins to (jointly) manage file and folder shares
I'm using Proton Business Suite. In Proton Drive, I can share files and folders with people in my team. When I share a file or folder, I can assign people as "viewers" or "editors".
I certain cases, I would like to further elevate these privileges to "admin": for my collaborators to have insight in and control over the sharing of this/these files and folders.
This would effectively create the possibility of a fully "shared drive" (in the Google Drive sense of the word, for example), where people take full co-ownership (administrator rights) on the folder.
Even better if I (as…

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.

Bring Linux app quality in line with Windows and Apple apps
The Linux apps from Proton are subpar when compared to the same apps on Windows or IOS (when they even exist).
As a paying unlimited customer I expect much better. I propose that instead of wasting resources on features which customers have not asked for (Ai, Bitcoin wallet, etc.) you allocate more time and resources to developing your Linux ecosystem. After all, Linux is the only truly private operating system, this should be closely aligned with Proton's mission.
