2. Share folders and files with admin rights

   Currently you can only share files with other email addresses as viewer or editor.
   You should be able to share as admin with full rights: sharing, moving, deleting, ...
   This goes for folders as well.

4. Speed up downloads from Proton Drive using shared links

   I've shared a folder that was about 337 MB using a share link. The downloads are abysmally slow at 47.83 KB/s to 185.54 KB/s. Then the download fails at less than a third of the way through.

   I'm on a paid plan. Replicated with the person whom I shared the folder. Both of us can't download it.

   Both of us are on different high bandwidth fiber internet plans and have no issues with other content.

5. Photos

   I'd like the Photos tab in the app to work like OneDrive's, with every photo in the cloud appearing in that tab without having to do anything, not just the ones uploaded directly as they are now.

   I'd also like the automatically uploaded image files to be in a folder in the cloud where I could locate them and move them to the folder I want to organize them in, but with them still appearing in the Photos tab even if I move them, and on all devices.

6. Ability to overwrite a file

   Currently if editing a file in Drive with an external application (Libre Office, AndrOpen Office, etc) there is no way to save the file. I have to "Save As", delete the original and rename the new one. Contacted support and was given the usual "This is how it is, it may be fixed in a future version¨. I say this is a bug that should have been caught in alpha testing and frankly I'm shocked that I'm the first to mention this here.

8. Sheet: Choose encoding when import

   We cannot choose file encoding when importing CSV file.

   Because of I'm Japanese user, I often use Shift JIS encoding for CSV file.

   There are many services that issues CSV as Shift JIS encoding in Japan.

9. Proton Sheets - edit chart axis range

   In Proton sheets, when I make a chart out of my data, the Y-axis always starts from 0. However, if all my values are in the thousands, this is unnecessary and hides the differences between my values, as they all look similar in this zoomed-out view. So, I would like to edit the range of the chart axes by setting min and max values to my liking.

11. Simple way to clone a template folder with subfolders in Proton Drive online

    I’m running a solo physiotherapy practice on Linux (Zorin OS) computers and Android tablets, and I rely on Proton Drive to store all patient documentation in a structured folder hierarchy.

    It would be incredibly helpful to have a built‑in “Clone Template Folder” feature that lets users duplicate a pre‑configured folder (with subfolders, permissions, and naming conventions) for each new patient and then personalize it. This capability would streamline onboarding new cases and keep the workflow consistent, especially for users who don’t have a native Linux desktop client and must work primarily through the web interface.

    Implementing such a feature—perhaps via a right‑click “Duplicate as Template” option or a simple API endpoint—would greatly improve productivity for many professionals using Proton Drive on Linux.

12. Team Folder

    Hello Proton team,

    I’d like to share a feature request regarding Proton Drive, specifically for use within families or small groups (Duo/Family plans).

    Currently, when someone shares a folder with me, it only appears under “Shared with me.” This is inconvenient for family collaboration, because:

    1. Shared folders do not appear under “My files,” so they feel separate from my main file structure.
    2. On mobile, I cannot directly save new files into a shared folder. I first have to save files into my own storage and then manually import each file into the shared folder. This is time‑consuming and not user‑friendly.

    Suggestion

    For Proton Drive within Duo/Family plans (or groups in general), it would be very helpful to have an option for shared folders to behave like “team folders,” for example:

    Allow a shared folder to be mounted/visible directly under “My files” (optionally instead of, or in addition to, “Shared with me”).
    Let users save or upload files directly into these shared folders on all platforms (including mobile), without having to store them first in their personal space and then import them.
    Optionally, introduce a dedicated concept like “Team Folders” (similar to Dropbox), which are shared among all members of a family or group and appear in their main folder structure.
    This would be extremely useful for families who want to manage their household digitally and paperless as far as possible: for example, storing shared documents like bills, insurance documents, school papers, etc., in a single common space, without sharing accounts.

    Thank you for considering this improvement and for your work on privacy‑focused tools.

13. 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 on a file and at some point you need to save it somewhere. You can chose drive C, D, ... then folder and subfolder A, B, C or library Documents, Music, Pictures, Photos, Videos and, oh gosh, this file should go into folder G and at the same time into the Documents library... Aaawww... 😵‍💫

    And there begins of all our data mess.

    💡 Idea
    Users shouldn't be bothered anymore to have to think of where they store their data (once of course they consciously selected a trustworthy service provider like Proton 😜), only how they can find them again. This would be consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy. 👍🏼

    They should only be offered the possibility to tag/label their files (manually, AI-automatically?) in order to find them easily later with views (flexible, not hard coded like a distinct Photo library for instance 😉).

    ✅ Reflection points
    I'd like ProtonDrive to consider:

    • merging all types of documents (office, audio, video, etc) into a single environment (as opposed to the Documents/Photos distinction)
    • allowing the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS (for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps)
    • providing labels/tags management (add, remove, batch rename)
    • integrate these labels/tags within the files metadata without changing their modification date (as opposed to libraries systems strongly linked to products and service providers)
    • providing views management (add, remove, rename) based on the aforementioned labels/tags/keywords
    • providing a functionality to generate a folder structure based on views for portability (today I'm happy with Proton, tomorrow maybe not anymore, and I wouldn't want a migration nightmare with the risk of loosing years of organization)

    Thank you for considering shaping a futuristic UX with an open and portable file system management post-GAFAM and service provider independent! 😍

14. Fix inability to copy formulas from cell to cell correctly in sheet converted from Excel

    If I enter a NEW formula in Sheets and copy it to a new cell, the formula updates automatically. But if I try to copy an EXISTING formula in a Sheet converted from an Excel file, the formula does not update. This means that my existing Excel files are mostly useless after conversion to Proton Sheets. I just can't adopt Proton when this kind of limitation exists.

15. Fix the Photos Sort Order Bug

    (NB Photos in browser: android app seems to sort properly.)

    I have many photos, mainly jpegs, that pre-date the digital revolution. I have scanned/re-photographed these old photos either from negative or print and have fixed up the "date taken" to correspond with when the original photo was taken. For people with full family collections this is probably not unusual.

    I am trying my best to migrate my photo library to Proton, but the its the little things that are annoying: the main photos sort by reverse date taken, UNTIL you get to about 1970 (I have tested this) - older photos then start appearing at the top - presumably by date created/modified?

    Can you please fix this bug?

    It must be a bug (or weird "expected" behavior) - a date is a date if you are using it for sort you should honor it no matter what.

    Please don't respond to this with some album functionality - it's not the same.

    PS: Annoyingly, Google Photos handles this properly - but then they can mine my data.

16. Add more right-click (context menu) functionality please!

    Dropbox has a robust Right-click feature set in Windows Explorer. Proton needs the following:

    • Purple P icon in every context-menu item (for quickly finding the set of commands)
    • Copy Proton Drive link
    • Sharing options of different sorts
    • View on Proton Drive Website
    • Make online-only
    • Make available offline

    Among others!

20. Proton Sheets

    Proton Sheets may mean nothing if a user has not used Microsoft for years.
    With the new Proton Sheets function, too few formats can (now) be imported.
    Consider that many companies and countries are leaving Microsoft for alternatives!
