Limit date range on photos backup
Currently the photos backup feature for proton drive appears to be "all or nothing", uploading all photos on a device at once. It would be very convenient to be able to set a date range for backup (or really, set any parameters controlling which photos get backed up).

File history should show previous file names after renaming
When I open file history, I can’t see previous file names.
For example: yesterday a file was named “Document X”. Today I accidentally renamed it to “Document Y”. In file history, this rename is not reflected at all — I only see the current name.
This is a serious problem. I accidentally mixed up documents, edited one, then renamed it. Now I can’t tell which part of a case this file originally belonged to, because the old name is completely lost in history.
Please include previous file names in file history. Rename events are just as important as content…

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.

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.7 votes -

Make Dropdown Menus in Proton Sheets More Usable
Something akin to Google Sheets dropdown menus would be greatly appreciated. Separating by selected cell range instead of the whole sheet like one person said, the ability to select multiple options from the dropdown menu, edit how the dropdown appears (bubble, carrot, nothing, etc.), and other features that Google sheets has. This is the only other thing keeping me with google sheets right now because their dropdown menus are my lifeblood.

Add support for exFAT filesystem
Proton Drive appears to only support NTFS, APFS. Incredibly frustrating to learn that the drive I'd like to use for backups isn't compatible with the service I've paid for due to the filesystem not being supported; exFAT is a fairly common cross-platform filesystem for external drives and is super useful for those going between operating systems and devices.

View-only link access (prevent download)
Hello,
A drive link version with view-only access is an essential and attainable feature. This is paramount for one-time actions, such as ID verification, where a file must be marked 'verified' by the recipient, but need not be saved.
Yes, the file may be captured as a screenshot, and processed thereafter, but this effort and lower resolution will discourage those who may absentmindedly download the file to keep 'a copy on hand', with no thought to its security.

Grid view option for share links
When opening a folder shared via a link, the files are presented in list view. There is no option for grid view. It would be nice to have the option to switch to grid view.
Users with Proton accounts can save the shared folder and view it from the "Shared with me" tab in Proton Drive. There it is possible to choose grid view. Users without Proton accounts do not have this option.

Add fast scroll bar (jump from month to month) to albums, like in all photos
The new scrollbar allowing you to jump from year to year and month to month in the all photos list is really nice. I wish the albums had it, right now I have to create an album per year to make large albums workable.
I've tried both iOS and the web app and didn't see this in either place, although the announcement of the fast scroll bar seemed to indicate it should be there.

Set External Drive as main location
My mac is the lowest spec but because of the speed of M processors it runs all my software for work better than any PC i've ever had. The cost of having a massive storage space inside my Mac is the reason I cannot use Proton Drive at the moment. I have 1TB external SSD which is my Dropbox location, if I could set Proton Drive to my external SSD as the main folder my life would instantly be better. I actually love how Proton Drive functions and am desperate to get out of the chaotic Dropbox ecosystem. Please explore…

Multi account on Proton Drive PC application and access history in docs by email
Multi accounts on Proton Drive PC application (like Proton Mail) would be very helpful for users who have more than 1 account to manage, we need to make loggout and login again on Drive creating every time a new folder in PC w/ different names to access the documments on the cloud. it makes everything confuse and impractical.
Additionally, I suggest to implement an access history for docs by email/PC-ID and an easy buttom to download the registers (for controllers/creators) - very useful for business access control and compliance.

Add more right-click (context menu) functionality please!
Dropbox has a robust Right-click feature set in Windows Explorer. Proton needs the following:

- Copy Proton Drive link
- Sharing options of different sorts
- View on Proton Drive Website
- Make online-only
- Make available offline
Among others!

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!4 votes -
Cannot Share Multiple Photos at Once
Today we can share photos one by one.
When I pick a single photo and tap the three little dots in the lower‑right corner, a “Share” button shows up. This lets me send the photo to other apps such as WhatsApp, SMS, etc.
But when I select several photos, there is no way to share them to other apps. That’s really disappointing.5 votes -
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

Webinterface Uploading: Better handling of unfinished uploads / optimize overwrite option dialog window
Currently, when an upload fails, you probably just want to restart and continue the upload. Imagine you have 300 folders with 17.000 files inside to upload and at some point the upload fails. So you are left alone with a complete file structure but with unknown file completion status.
But if you just try to upload to the same folder structure again (overwrite), it recognizes that the folders are already there, but you only have the option to overwrite EVERYTHING, which can take a lot of time and is not what is needed in this situation. There is no option…4 votes -
Add sharing of photos to other apps from Drive Mobile
Now photos can only be looked at but nothing else.Adding option to send photos with apps as an attachment would be good.
