  1. File Search

    Filename based Search functionality within Proton Drive...

    I don't necessarily mean searching for File-Content, this is difficult to achieve in a fully encrypted setting (albeit not impossible, if the indexing tool would run local or in a sand-boxed mode and the actual index database would be stored as a file on the actual encrypted proton drive account.... )

    But rather just a search for file name (even partial names etc...)

  3. Offline access in Linux Proton Desktop app

    I was very pleased to see the release of the Proton desktop app for Linux. This feature may be coming along with the full release, but it would be excellent to have offline access to my mail and calendar through the app.

  4. Password protect specific folders if sharing account.

    It would be nice to have the possibility to assign a password to a specific folder. It's a good solution if you e.g. use your Proton Drive with other family members/friends what so ever.

    Synchronize ProtonDrive Photo folder with phtoos services like flickr or Google photos, ...
    Hi,

    Loved the new Photos feature in Proton Drive.
    Can you add a feature to synchronize with existing photo storage, such as flickr or Google PHotos ?

  7. Save to external drive

    Saving to external drive.

    I have a mac mini with 256GB on it. After installing all the apps and documents that I use, more than half of it is used. Not to mention the caches, temp, backup files, etc.

    I use Box and other online storage and they have options to where to store their files so I use an external drive to store my files synced with the online storage apps that I used.

    I would love to see Proton Drive to have the option to store the files.

  8. OneNote

    I want to host a OneNote notebook on Proton Drive. And is it possible to set up Proton Drive to act like OneDrive? I want to store all my documents online if possible, and OneDrive is not encrypted.

  9. Map Viewer for Geo / Location Data in files

    This is similar but more focused than the idea here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/45229390-proton-maps

    This is more about a 'viewer' of files on Proton Drive to open a map UI of items within Drive that have a geolocation. Creating layers/adding geometry (like a google mymaps) is not part of this idea but could be part of roadmap.

    1. View geotagged photos from an album in a map view; or to add/change location of photo (via pan/zoom from the photo view)

    2. Open geo-files in a map view, that is kml, gps tracks, sheet with lat/long, shapefile, geojson... open standards.

    Again, the focus of this idea…

  10. Proton Send

    Basically, something like Bitwarden Send or Firefox Send:
    https://bitwarden.com/products/send/
    https://send.vis.ee/ (Fork of the discontinued Firefox Send)

    Following scenario: You just want to quickly and privately share a file with someone. Currently you would have to upload it to Proton Drive, manually create a shared link, and remember to manually delete the file.

    It would be really convenient to have a shortcut for uploading an expiring, immediately shareable file.

  12. Streamlining File Management: Automatic Deletion of Recycle Bin Contents

    I suggest implementing an automatic deletion feature for the recycle bin (or trash folder) contents, where deleted files are permanently removed after a specified time period. This would eliminate the need for manual emptying of the trash folder, adding a convenient touch to file management. While not a critical issue, this enhancement could significantly improve user experience.

  13. Use QR code to share files/folders

    QR codes for sharing Proton Drive files/folder URLs. It would make sharing links from a desktop to phone MUCH easier. Not to mention safer. I'm using an online QR code generator. God only knows what they are doing with that data.

  14. 2FA protection for certain files and folders

    Drive should have something like the "Personal Vault" from OneDrive.

    Everything in the Proton Drive is available all the time everywhere. As some files are extremely critical, but dont need to be looked at or changed all the time from everywhere, this is a convenient weakness.

    Example: I don't want my Bitcoin recovery phrase on the android app to be be "protected" with a fingerprint, and on the unlocked PC not protected at all.

  15. Containers with own password and 2fa

    Allow the creation of separate proton drive containers where you can setup individual security (passwords and 2fa) for each container. So when you go to proton drive not all containers are always mounted. This has the advantage that if your computer is breached or infected not all your drive containers and files within are directly accessible.

  16. Pause backup photos

    Pause backup photos on Android.
    It is sometimes necessary to delete some photos before backing them up.

    Deleting backed up photos is much slower than deleting photos in the phone gallery, and when automatic backup is enabled, you have to delete photos both in the phone gallery and on Proton Drive.

    Manually turning backups off and on takes a long time because it's deeper in the settings, someone needs to specify yet another folder for backups, and most importantly, when backups are turned on, all the photos on the phone are synced if they're already backed up.

    Thank you.

  17. resync to folder

    The ability to sync to an existing folder.

    If I have to reinstall Proton Drive, such as when I reinstall Windows, I cant have it point to the existing folder I use for Syncing Proton Drive. I have to create a new folder, which just creates a mess and a duplication of data (and the fear of losing something). I should just be able to point to the existing sync folder, and continue on.

  18. View breakdown of storage

    It would be great if we could see how big folders are in Drive, as well as a nice view of what's taking up all our space. Much like the program WinDirStat.

  19. Segmentation - Multiple Drives Per Account

    The ability to completely segment a drive and have multiple drives per account would be a good feature. It would ensure that you could share and/or sync specific drives to a desktop app without the risk of unintended sharing data stored on the other drive(s). Additional drives could be purchased as an add-on or users could elect to split their available account drive capacity across multiple drives.
