  1. show changes in version history

    Version history shows the actual state of a document, but it does not show what has changed (unlike with diff). Highlighting changes is essential to see what has been modified.

  2. Table of content scrollable

    You established the table of content to the web browser recently.
    If I fill it out, instead of listed in a row and possible to scroll through, they are placed in columns so I awkwardly have to try to find the slider at the bottom of the table of content box and slide left/right.

  3. Allow selected files to SYNC FIRST before checking differences

    Hi,
    Proton drive always list all the changes before syncing files. The problem with this configuration is that if you need 2 or 3 files just right now, you won't get them. If the amount of files in the scan is important it can take a looooot of time (once i've had 35 minutes!!) before you get your files wich makes Proton Drive a pain in the a**. It would be nice to have an option in the right click menu along with "view offline", "view online", "refresh" that would be "instant download" and that would come first when relaunching…

  4. Add similar extra password to Proton Drive as in Pass

    Add an extra password to Proton Drive like in Proton Pass. This will enhance security for most conscious people.

  5. Saving search index

    I know files and photos indexing may be technically difficult because everything is encrypted, but at least it should be optional to create and persist and index to not wait every time to reconstitutes it, when it's needed to search for files and photos. This index may be incrementally updated at the next access.
    It should also be useful to have an index updated in background, maybe by the mobile or desktop apps.

  6. Be more specific about the files/folders that are syncing

    Currently, on the Proton Drive app for Windows (and maybe for macOS too, I don't know how is it on that side), when using the file sync feature all the app tells you is "synchronizing". it's very vague, and there's not even an option to pause the sync. having it, plus maybe seeing which file is being uploaded and at what speed (just like Drive's web app), would improve the experience by a lot.

  7. Format currency cells according to the currency symbol entered

    If I enter "£3.00" in a cell, Proton Sheets will turn it into $3. It changes the currency but also removes the decimal places I entered. This feels kind of broken. I don't see how or why this would be expected or acceptable behaviour.

  9. Cloud-first Storage

    I love Proton Drive's privacy-focused approach, but there's one feature I really miss: files on-demand (also known as "placeholder files" or "online-only files").
    Right now, photos uploaded through the mobile app remain stored on my device, so they exist twice – locally and in the cloud. The whole point of cloud storage for me is to have my photos in the cloud instead of taking up space on my phone.

    Could you consider adding an on-demand mode, so uploaded photos don't have to stay on my device and fill up my storage?

    Thanks for considering!

  11. Can't sort by date

    On Proton drive on a PC you can sort files by date but you can't do this on the Android phone app. Thus is extremely annoying not allowing this type of sorting by date. Please fis this.
    Thank you.

  12. Delay photo backup

    I often take multiple photos or I take throw-away photos because my chat apps builtin camera is garbage.
    They are then instantly backed up, which means I have to delete them from local storage and then from the Drive.

    It would be really useful if you could set a delay before a photo is uploaded, or if you could set a specific time at which photos are uploaded.

  13. Proton Photos - Web - "Add to album" stays visible when selecting photos in an album

    It is common for photos to appear in several albums at once. For instance I have individual albums for my nieces and my cats, and photos commonly feature several of these people in the same photo.

    When I select photos in the main "Photos" tab, I get an "Add to album" button.

    When I select photos within an album, the same button does not appear. I only have the options to download or remove from the current album.

    I would like the "Add to album" button to appear when photos are selected in an album. This would also help with…

  14. Photo backup available in Windows explorer

    Photos that are backed up to the cloud should be available as all the other folders in windows explorer. I want to organize them and in the web browser interface, you can't drag and drop. Using the web interface make large amounts to organizing into folders very time consuming. Please make the photo folder available in windows explorer so the images can be moves easily.

  15. Add the ability to select multiple files of different types to perform actions on (IOS app)

    When I want to move/export multiple files or even folders to other apps (for example to unpack some zip/rar/7z/etc. files) I would have to do this for each individual file separately. With something like 10 files or a folder containing that amount of files, it is practically guaranteed that one or more files get missed. The currently available actions (deleting selected files, moving them within Proton Drive and making them available offline) are very limiting.

  16. Eliminate the main PC interface. Use the website interface as the standard.

    When you log in to the PC version of Drive, the PC interface is lacking and hard to use. Please make the PC interface just like the website interface. It's annoying that I have to right-click the icon and log in again to the website interface. When you start the PC version, it should go straight into the website or cloud version. Simplify the interface, too.

  17. cli - support r/w access to data via shareable links

    fully support share links as an additional / alternative option to full account login for r/w access to files/folders.

    Instead of requiring a full proton account login it should be possible to use as share link (password protected or otherwise) to access nodes via the cli.

    This would greatly simplify using the CLI or SDK in headless setups and other tools like rclone and also vastly reduce the threat model in case of compromised keyring, fault in credential handling in the CLI etc.

  18. (Sheets) Organize Sheet Tabs

    Right now sheet tabs are organized by chronological order, when I manually reorganize them, that order does not save and goes back to chronological. Would nice a nice feature to organize manually.

  19. Move and merge folders

    Move and merge folders
    -> and maybe it could detect if two files are exact the same if the name of the file already exists at the destination for example: 1. Determine file sizes, 2. Compare checksum
