  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  5. Allow to import photos from a synced folder

    The new landed import photos feature in Proton drive only allows importing photos that are not in a synced folder. This doesn't make sense, as photos are stored separately in Proton Drive. Therefore, not allowing the import of such folders makes it impossible to move photos from the Documents Drive folder to the photo section.

  6. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. Feedback Request: Enhanced PDF Export Feature for Proton Docs

    Dear Proton Docs Team,

    I am writing to provide feedback regarding the PDF export functionality within Proton Docs.

    My feedback pertains specifically to the current PDF export method. It appears that the "Export to PDF" option currently relies on the browser's native "Print to PDF" feature. While this offers basic functionality, it introduces an unprofessional element into the exported documents: the inclusion of the document's URL in the footer of every page.

    This behavior is particularly problematic when documents are intended for professional use, client presentations, or formal sharing. The presence of browser-generated headers and footers, especially the URL, detracts…

  9. 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.

  10. Find Content Across Spreadsheet Tabs

    Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but a couple of things are missing

    Enhance the Find feature
    Give us the option to:
    a) search across all tabs (not just the one active)
    b) search a specific range of text
    c) replace with text
    c1) allow us to either replace just 1 instance or all

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Improvement in Proton docs and version history

    I love how Proton Docs automatically keeps a version history of every change we make to a document. It would be great to give users the option to set the time interval for creating new versions for example, after each edit, after 1 minute, after 2 minutes, and so on.

    Currently, when I start a new document, each word I type generates a separate version. This quickly becomes overwhelming, making it hard to scroll back to a useful point in the history. While frequent versioning makes sense during focused editing such as correcting a document someone else sent or making deliberate revisions, it feels unnecessary…

  14. Standardise file and folder sorting across apps

    The Proton Drive web app sorts folders in the left-hand file tree lexicographically but sorts files and folders in the right-hand folder content area numerically. Files and folders in the iOS/iPadOS app are sorted lexicographically.

    Let’s assume I have a folder that itself has twenty folders, each named 1 to 20. The web app sorts them as follows in the left-hand folder tree:

    1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

    However, the web app sorts them as follows in the right-hand folder content area:

    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20

    This is confusing. The sorting method should be standardised across all areas of all apps. Should that standard be sorting numbers…

  15. 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.

  18. Proton Docs: Integrate Lumo + Increase Docs file size!

    • It would be nice to ask Lumo while working inside Docs to run spellchecks or change the tone of your text etc.

    • i was working on a document that has alot of images, and suddenly i get an error that the file was getting too large and i couldnt edit anymore.
      It seems that Proton Docs has a limit per document of 25mb, seems a bit low compared to competitors? Now i have to split this thing up in multiple parts.
      I dont understand why there would be a size limit when Word is practically unlimited, especially for paying users.

  19. Share file, but don't allow download or screenshot

    Changes to the share file in proton drive that allows people to view, but not download a file to retain ownership of data but allow others to verify.

    Could be useful when sharing identity documents, contracts etc, but you don't necessarily want others to keep a copy of the data.

    Would also be nice to use some form of browser DRM protection to prevent screenshots as well.

  20. Proton Sheets Paste as Text & Sort without Header Row

    Hello! I love that we have Proton Sheets for the first time now. This is great as another way to securely save my workbooks in the end-to-end encrypted cloud. There are two features that I would be interested in off the bat that I noticed didn't make it to the initial release.

    Past as Plain Text
    Other workbook applications have a variety of ways to paste data. I don't see any drop down for paste in either the right click or Edit menus. I would ideally like Paste as Plain Text, and maybe Paste with Formatting (but without Formulas), etc.…
