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.

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?

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.

Add CTRL + SHIFT + Z for redo
In docs the default keyboard shortcut for redo is CTRL + Y. Which is fine but most software also support the CTRL + SHIFT + Z keyboard shortcut.
I would like to be able to configure this or that both keyboard shortcuts are supported for the redo action.

Search should find folders in addition to files
When searching proton drive, it doesn't appear to find folders with the search word in the folder name. It would be better if search found folders as well. Its common to have downloads with unmemorable names grouped in a folder with a memorable name. If search doesn't find the folder, it can be very difficult to find the desired files.

Proton Sheets - Editing Cells with multiple lines
When trying to add multiple lines in the cell edit dialog box, while the bar at the top (fx bar?) has up and down arrows to scroll between lines. This can be a little cumbersome. Please allow for vertical expansion of the edit bar.
Web based spreadsheets Excel and Google Sheets support this. As well as client install Excel and Libre calc all allow this. I would say this is fair justification of the utility of this feature and a request for feature parity.

Ordering of Photo Albums and Creation of sub-Albums
In Proton Drive's Photos, please make it possible to order user-created Albums and to create sub-albums. Minimally, the albums should order by file name. As things stand, the user has no control over the order in which albums appear. It should also be possible to display them as a file list (not large icons). Use Apple's Photos as a model. I'm keen to abandon Apple's app (and all its irritating facial recognition and fake nostalgia), but no way, not until have have more control over my albums. Thank you

Simple finename search
Currently so search files within ProtonDrive (web) you need to index the entire drive content, which can take a long time.
I understand that local indexing is necessary for zero-access reasons.It would be nice to have a simpler search (only on filenames and metadata?) that could be ready in a fraction of the time.
Searching within files content is good, but sometimes having a quick name or date search is all you need.6 votes -

Revamp Docs's download feature
When I try to export my document every single download item is lacking expected quality. I wanted to create a simple user manual for a small app with screenshots, but I can not seem to make a proper usable export from it.
.docx have broken images and bad formatting
.html have bad formatting as well
.md is just an .md file without the images in the document, it should be a zip with image folder and [img] tag
plain .txt works but it is pointless in this case
.pdf is just "print to pdf" with browser specific headers that the…

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.

Open folders with just one click (browser)
In the webbrowser, you currently need to double-click in order to open a folder, single-clicking only selects the folder. I'm a 30yo digital native and find this unintitive for browser-behaviour, especially since the selecting-functionality already exists in form of the checkboxes that appear when hovering, and I have witnessed many older folks taking a lot of time to figure out how to open a folder because of this. So I suggest getting rid of this second selecting-functionality, and open folders with just one click.
(I'm aware Google Drive has the same behaviour, Dropbox and OneDrive don't and I find it…

Improve the speed of syncing.
The speed of syncing between devices must improve. I can take some photos and its not synced to my computer 2 hrs later. It is rather annoying when I want to work with those photos on my computer and I have to wait a long time before i can access the photos on my computer. I use wifi and also allowing sync with mobile data. The photo tagging should also be optional. I have organized my photos and dont want anything added neither to folders or photos. I dont want googles annoying organizing template. I use android, linux and windows.

Basic Highlighting!
The highlighting feature as-is is very limited: why can't I just choose the background color and the text color separately? I would literally like to "highlight" a section of text in yellow, and I can't just pick black text with yellow background. Please allow more basic options or basic flexibility, instead of only a certain pre-built text / color combinations. Thanks!

Universal permalink
As a Proton Drive web user, I want a single, permanent “universal” link per file that is scoped to “anyone with existing access,” so that:
- users who already have access can open the file directly via the link,
- users who do not have access are shown a clear option to request access from the owner,
- I can use the same link myself as a fast internal shortcut (for example from a Notes or Todo app).Acceptance criteria:
1. Each file page provides a “Copy universal link (anyone with existing access)” action.
2. The link is permanent and…4 votes -
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!

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…
