  1. 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.

  2. Populate Proton Docs sidebar with folders that contain documents

    Alongside the Recents and Trash views, include folders from Proton Drive where documents have been stored. When the user selects a folder from the sidebar, show all documents from that folder in the list of files.

  3. Fix the Disk Usage in Proton Drive

    The usage estimate in the web application of proton drive is still buggy. It shows much higher than what I have in my drive. I saw a reddit post about this that was posted 3 years ago, I don't know if it is already fixed and is an issue with my side of the application.

  4. Making possible deleting a video from the phone gallery before is completely uploaded in Proton Drive without gettin proton drive stuck

    Every time I delete a video from my phone, before Proton drive has finished to upload it, the app remains stuck uploading that.
    Please solve this, because if I delete a picture or a video, it means that I don't need it in Proton drive neither.

  5. PDF - scroll while zoomed

    Reading pdf's on mobile is hard, so I use the landscape mode combined with zoom. But if I reach the end of a page, the PDF viewer is not switching to the next page.
    Please add that the next page will be shown although I've zoom activated

  6. ask to merge folders of same name during upload

    During upload to the browser interface, if I upload an updated version of a previously uploaded folder structure, the app asks me if I want to replace the previous folders of the same name, if I want to skip folders of the same name, or if I want to keep both.
    I propose a fourth option of merging folders of similar names and then if this choise is made, ask for the choice of replace, keep both or do nothing for files specifically. This behavior would be similar to the experience of moving or copying files in folders on Windows.

  8. 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…

  9. Improve preview speed of document

    I find that Proton Drive is the best in the market in my preference. But I'm using it to deliver project to my client. The slow speed to preview, especially video and photos, makes it almost impossible to make my client happy.

    Please do something, we need Proton.

  10. Mark added folders with a special icon

    In Windows, change the icon for added folders, så that it is clear that those folders are backed up by Proton Drive.

  11. Select AND view photos

    Weeding out a bunch of photos is easily done be selecting multiple photos and clicking delete. Nice.
    But as you are selecting, it would be really nice to be able to open a photo for viewing. Currently you cannot view a photo if any are selected.
    I would very much like to be able to open a photo for viewing while having a selection, and having the selection retained while viewing the photo. Maybe even having the option to add/remove the currently viewed photo to the selection.
    This would also be very helpful when selecting for an album.

  13. Photo Sync - Customizable time table

    Currently, Proton Drive (Photos) allows users to back up their photos, including over mobile data, and specifically select where they are uploaded from. But, daily, many users take pictures or screenshots to send to friends and family only to delete them minutes later. Or, take multiple pictures of a single event just to pick out what they like the most and delete the rest. If users don't go into their photo backup regularly, it can be swamped with tons of pictures that users need to parse through and get rid of.

    Would it be possible to allow users to select…

  14. Sharing .vcf cards - Unpleasant UI experience

    • When sharing a .vcf contact file via Proton Drive, the preview page expands the entire vCard text, making it hard for non‑technical recipients to locate the download button.
    • Desired behavior: Show a generic file‑icon with a prominent “Download” button (similar to how PDFs or images are presented), or automatically trigger a download for pure data files.
    • Impact: Improves usability for sharing contacts, event invites, and other vCard‑based data with friends, family, or business partners.

  15. It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first.

    It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first. This is a very important feature for your privacy-focused target audience, so it doesn't make sense to hide it in the settings and FORCE the user to make their private data public during the set up phase. It should be on the share screen and very obvious. In fact, you can make a whole separate option so that it is mutually exclusive with the publically accessible link toggle.

  18. Fix: When replacing selected text in docs, more text gets deleted than was selected

    Maybe it depends on the operating system or browser, but on both my devices (PC and android), I'll select text I don't want anymore. Then I'll type in new text to replace it. But instead of only replacing what I selected, it deletes some extra text that I didn't have selected. So I lose words. If I hit Undo, I might forget the new idea I replaced the old text with. If I don't hit Undo, I forget the words that I didn't want deleted, but which got deleted. This still happens after reinstalling the app and restarting my phone.…

  19. Open and Save with external app, not rename to "file (1).txt"

    Currently on Android we can only Send (makes a copy) but neither Save or Save As (over original) works for even a basic Text File. Since last century we've been able to overwrite/alter without cumbersome deletion of the original file first.
    Thanks heaps for the integration with Android Files, but it only half works...

  20. Do not rename photos

    Sometimes I save my android pictures with a USB cable and sometimes with Proton Drive. When I want to be sure there is no photo forgotten I paste all the proton saved photos in my Windows folders again, but since Proton changes automatically the photos' names, it becomes a mess with many duplicates. Do you really need to change the file's name? Why not keep the original name ?
