1. Make Photos a unified view of all image files stored in Proton Drive

   I would like Proton Photos to automatically detect and display all supported image and video files stored anywhere in Proton Drive, rather than treating Photos as a separate storage area.

   At the moment, if I store photographs inside a normal Drive folder — for example a family archive, project folder, scanned-photo collection, or other structured folder — those images do not automatically appear in the Photos timeline. This means users effectively have to choose between keeping photos in a meaningful folder structure in Drive or importing them separately into Photos.

   I would prefer Photos to work primarily as a view layer on top of Proton Drive.

   In practice:
   - All photos and videos should remain stored in their normal Drive folders.
   - The Photos tab should automatically index supported media files across Drive.
   - The main Photos view should present those files chronologically using their metadata.
   - Albums should act as an additional organisational layer without creating duplicate copies.
   - Moving a photo between Drive folders should not remove it from the Photos timeline.
   - A photo should only need to exist once in Proton Drive, regardless of whether it is accessed through Files, Photos, or Albums.

   For example, I might have:
   Family Archive → Grandparents → Scanned photos

   Those files should remain in that archival folder structure, while also automatically appearing in the Photos timeline alongside my phone and camera photos.
   One of Proton’s competitors, the Norwegian cloud service Jottacloud, already works in a similar way: photos stored across normal file storage can automatically appear in the photo timeline.
   I think this would make Proton Drive much more coherent. Rather than Photos being a separate destination where media has to be imported, Photos could simply be a specialised chronological and visual view of media already stored in Drive.

   This would also reduce unnecessary duplication, make migrations easier, and allow users to maintain proper archival folder structures without giving up the convenience of a photo timeline.

   If Proton wants Drive to become a full replacement for services such as Google Drive and Google Photos, I think this would be a very valuable architectural improvement.

2. Customizable keyboard shortcuts in Proton Docs and Sheets

   I use Proton Docs and Proton Sheets extensively, both in my professional work and in a medical practice. Since I prefer keyboard-focused workflows, reliable keyboard shortcuts are very important to me.

   Unfortunately, some of Proton’s current shortcuts conflict with operating-system and keyboard-layout shortcuts. For example, on Windows with a German keyboard layout, Ctrl + Alt is interpreted similarly to AltGr. As a result, pressing Ctrl + Alt + 2 in Proton Docs types the character ² instead of applying a level-two heading. The same issue appears to affect other formatting shortcuts, such as quotations and code formatting.

   It would therefore be very helpful if users could customize keyboard shortcuts in Proton Docs and Proton Sheets.

   Possible solutions could include:

   1. Fully customizable keyboard shortcuts.
   2. A choice between Proton’s default shortcuts and an alternative shortcut set that avoids common operating-system conflicts.
   3. Presets based on the operating system or keyboard layout, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, German, or US English.

   Markdown shortcuts are a useful workaround for some functions in Proton Docs, but they do not cover every feature and do not solve the broader problem in Proton Sheets.

   Customizable or layout-aware shortcuts would make Proton Docs and Sheets much more convenient for keyboard-focused workflows and more accessible to users with non-US keyboard layouts.

   Thank you for considering this feature.

3. 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 does not change when the file is renamed or metadata is updated.
   3. Visiting the link with an account that has access opens the file immediately without extra prompts.
   4. Visiting the link without access shows a clear “Request access” flow to contact the owner and optionally include a message.
   5. The link reliably functions as an internal shortcut from external apps (e.g., notes, todo apps).
   6. File permissions and protections (view/edit roles, expirations, passwords) remain enforced and are not bypassed by the link.
   7. Use of the universal link and subsequent access requests/grants are recorded in audit logs.

4. Enable Syncing with external Drives

   I need the feature to be able to sync not just local folders on your PC, but also from external drives attached to my PC.

   I read that this can pose a safety threat. But I still very much like to have all my data stored on a cloud and a physical drive in case I lose access or have any other problems with my cloud. I am currently using pCloud, and they allow that. That is quite the essential feature for me.

   So please allow syncing with external drives as well.

5. 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 possible which would not show in the Photos view.

   The photos view would stay as-is, perhaps allowing a customisable selection of folders being available to select for the Photos view to search through for photos.

7. Fix roundup to work correctly in Proton Sheets

   If you have a sheet that has the formula "=14/7" it will show the correct answer of 2. However if you perform a roundup such as "=roundup(14/7,2)" it will show the incorrect answer of 2.01. This means that doing the formula =roundup(14/7,0) to get the number of weeks left gives the incorrect answer of 3.

   This makes roundup functionally useless as the output is not accurate when dealing with any calculations.

11. 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!

14. Folder "shared by link" with photos should have a gallery view

    If I have a folder (not album under "Photos") with photos, it can appear as a gallery and I can easily see the photos. If I make a "shared link" and send it to someone else who is not logged in, it only appears as a list of files. They can't see all photos at once and they have to scroll through them one by one to see them. I think, overall, it would make sense to have the gallery view in as an option in shared links. (This is not about Albums)

    I often take photos for others and share them back to them via Proton Drive shared link. It's not as good an experience for them to see them just as a list of files, and doesn't serve as a good advertisement for Proton. Sometimes, I even haven't shared via Proton since I didn't want it to look less sophisticated to them (what should be considered a base feature, even though it does exist for me). The code exists, so I hope it can somehow be enabled for guests.

18. Speed up search indexing in Drive on Linux Mozilla

    I have been trying for 1 month to have my search feature in the web interface of drive index my files. This so they will be searchable. There are over 170K files there. The first 100K seem to be done is a jiffy, but after that it is like 1000 files every 10 minutes. My laptop is never connected to the internet for more as 3 or 4 hours and the index seems to crash after several disconnects. So after a month of trying I still have not been able to get a searchable index. Isn't it possible to speed this up? or at the very least save the progress in my drive and work with what is stored there?

    My laptop is a brand new Thinkpad so it should be able to process what it needs to. Mozilla has been updated several times during my tries so I am assuming it is the latest version.

20. Proton Drive file sorting in mobile app

    In the Proton drive web app, sorting of files within folders by last change or size works properly, for files in 'my files' as well as for files in 'computers'.
    This function does not work regarding last change in the synchronized 'computers' folders in the mobile app. This is a signifcant deficit, since the newest files should be easy to access!
