  1. Proton Docs file history should not count towards maximum file size limit of 25MB

    When working with several larger images into a Proton document you can quickly run into the file size limit of 25MB.
    Going back and deleting said pictures is also of no help, as they are still kept in the document history, and now any further changes of that file are held ******* by said history. Not even rollbacks to previous versions are possible.

    There are currently two ways around this.
    1: Create a copy of the document (and re-share any links, in case of a shared document)
    2: Disable all file history for everything in Proton Drive.

    Option 1 is…

  5. Map display for Photos (same as in IOS)

    I know, metadata is deleted. But i would find it very cool, to leave the Place of the Photo and make some sort of Maps for Photos (where the Photo has been taken). Same like on IOS. Would appreciate that, since its a cool feature and the only purpose, i leave my Photos on IOS

  6. Longer expiration data period when sharing a Proton Drive file

    Maybe there is some technical obstacle that You do not offer longer link expiry date when sharing a file? It seems to be just a few months maximum, while I would like to set the expiry like 2 years from now. Ideally also ticking option to also delete the file once the period is over.

  7. The file viewer adjustable width to fit the window to make the text more readable

    When you view a .txt file in a ProtonDrive (meaning when for example someone access it via public sharing link), it is better readable if the lines are not too wide (as it is currently), but when the .txt file contains for example a code or a log entries, then the too narrow viewer makes the file very hard to read, so you end up sharing such files using different service than Proton (which is bad).

    I think that the width should be adjustable and by default made wider to fit/fill whole window. I am using Firefox browser.

  8. I'd like to share a photoalbum.

    I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
    The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.

    This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

  9. File management paradigm change

    Hum... I can't edit nor delete my first post about that, so I try republishing it... 🤔

    ♻️ File management paradigm change
    This is a repost (deleted my former suggestion) as suggested by another user, to make it more clear, thank you. ❤️
    I'm a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest technologies since 40 years.

    Unfortunately, I still see very old concepts and ideas still being implemented today by default, not because they're good, but because we're suffering from operational blindness.

    🌏 Context
    Managing files for users has not changed since 40 years: You work…

  10. Proton Docs: download to docx and PDF does not work properly, format is messed up

    The formatting in Proton Docs looks beautiful, however as soon as I export it to docx, the formatting is messed up.
    Also, with the download to PDF the format is changed (puts content on 2 pages even though there would be enough space on one). I would expect the format to stay exactly as I see it in the Proton Docs when I export it.
    Therefore, it's not usable for printing a doc / exporting a doc. Currently, it's not an option to completely change to Proton Docs.

  11. Inconsistant timelines

    I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way dates are handled in the timeline view when updated via the Web interface.
    * Photos use the "Photo taken date", while
    * Videos use the "FIle modified date".

    This results in a messy and inconsistent timeline. To work around this on our end, we’ve had to delete all the videos, unify the metadata dates, and re-upload them. However, it seems odd that a different logic would be applied to photos vs. videos, so this feels more like a bug than something intentional.

    With such approach, it is impossible to have the video correctly…

  13. please make "always available on this device" the default or configurable

    To keep it short, because my previous idea was just deleted:
    Please make "always available on this device" the default, or at least configurable, so that I don't have to select "always keep on this device" for every new file on my local system (to make the light green check mark a dark green one).

    (but why has my previous idea been deleted without any notion while it was a serious effort from my side???)

  15. Copy/pasting Docs files in Proton Drive

    Maybe a minor thing for some but it doesn't seem to be possible to copy/paste Docs files within Proton Drive so they work. At least mine won't sync, even though I do. I have my patients fill out questionnaires by opening a Proton Drive public link and fill out a Docs file. This problem forces me to continuously create new empty docs and paste into them.

  18. Render correct photo ratio in Photos and Album overviews

    Currently all photos are rendered with the same portrait aspect ratio, which does not correctly represent the images correctly. It would be nice if users had an option to display the original aspect ratio all scaled to the same height or some other dynamic layout which displays the full image scaled down for the overview.

  19. pdf reader improvement

    If a link is to a pdf and so opens in a pdf reader embeded in a proton page, I can click the Download button and the file will download with the proper file title. However within the reader is a download arrow. If you were to click on that to download the file the file name is a garbled number and letter sequence. I've tried this with another cloud drive service which the process looks nearly identical except that clicking the download arrow retains the file name. I'm guess most people would hit the Download button but as a…
