Proton "Drop" To Accept Secure Files Without Relying on Sender Email
Would love for a feature to reserve an area in the Drive for a person with a link, auto-expiration, and password to "drop" files to an upper size limit in.
I don't like how people with email services outside of Proton or likewise send me things using their email without password protection or expiration.
There is no way to enforce that the file be deleted from their email. They might just plain forget or not know how to do it fully.
Sending them a link to DROP a file into my Drive will let them upload directly to a secured…

Ability to set a network data speed cap
Would be extremely useful to have a network cap when downloading / uploading in Proton Drive. I run the risk of not being able to do any tasks that requires network in the background while Drive is working as it hogs all the data for itself.

FSP (File Storage Provider) support for iOS and iPadOS
There is support for FSP on macOS for Proton Drive, however it is missing for both iOS and iPadOS. The consequence is that I cannot add a Proton folder as location in for example iA Writer. The net effect is that any file stored on Proton Drive that I want to open, must be manually found through browsing from the root of my Proton Drive. With FSP support on iOS and iPadOS any folder should be available immediately in the interface.
The missing part in the implementation is full folder sharing support in said protocol.
It works flawlessly on macOS.…

Powerpoint editing and preview
I have transferred across to Proton because of the privacy features. I'm struggling with the lack of preview for Powerpoint files. I use them all the time for work. My last drive provider had the ability to edit these files online. Please add this feature as a matter of urgency

allow syncing local folders directly to My Files
Currently we can sync folders which get tied to specific computers. What I would like to see is the ability to set a local folder to sync directly to "My Files" instead of being bound to a specific computer.

I hope the music player is built into Proton Drive. Currently, I have activated Proton Duo. I want to completely melt the proton into my daily life. The song player is not in the drive. I'm using it with pcloud. Please.

resuming aborted downloads/uploads
Due to instable wifi, it happens that my connection breaks when doing some bigger transfers. That's why I also voted for the speed limit cap elsewhere in this community. When my connection breaks, transfers are aborted and started all over again, instead of resuming after the connection is established again. Because of this, I cannot tranfer files of some gigabytes. I hope you can make Proton Drive more mature by implementing a kind of download manager, pausing and resuming transfers, instead of restarting complete files. Thanks you.

Proton Docs accessibility (alt text for images)
We have to be able to add alt text to images in Proton Docs
While working on the accessibility of a document, I was not able to add alt text to images. This is a basic accessibility feature, and is in WCAG 2.2, 1.1.1 Non-text content (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#non-text-content). There is no good reason to exclude this feature. It would only lead to less accessibility for people with disabilities.4 votes -
Incremental backup
It would be good if the photo backup could be set to only backup new photos rather than all photos every time. Backing up 7800+ photos every time takes forever

Add Files via Email
Previously, I was using SecureSafe, which had a useful feature: it allowed us to add a file to our drive simply by sending an email.

Search by Album Name in Mobile App
It would be extremely helpful for users who have dozens—or even hundreds—of photo albums to be able to search by album name in the mobile app's 'Photos' section.

Simplify folder path structure in Drive on Windows
On Windows, Proton Drive creates a very strange folder structure:
C:\Users\username\Proton Drive\username\My files\
There are empty folders in the path for no reason. Why not just store everything directly inside Proton Drive? It feels unnecessary and cluttered.
Besides being visually messy (it literally bothers my OCD), it also makes accessing files slower and annoying because I have to click through multiple empty folders just to get to my stuff.

Access photo as any other directory of the Drive
Photos and usual Drive seems to be orthogonal, it would be awesome to be able to have the Photos as any other directory in the Drive.
So far, I have my automatic backup of photos from the phone that lands in the Photos part and my legacy photos that are well organized altogether in a directory on my Drive. It would be great to have everything accessible as a directory.

Sorting options in upload list (by date, name, size)
When uploading files to Drive (at least in the web version), there is a panel that shows the list of current uploads. It would be really helpful if this list could be sorted — by date, name, or size. Even just sorting by date (A→Z / Z→A) would make it easier to see what was uploaded first/last and keep track of order.
In the uploads panel we currently have: All, Active, Completed, and Failed. It would be really helpful to also have a 'Queued' category. Sometimes uploads stack up, and it's hard to tell what's waiting vs what's actually transferring.…

Branded download pages for Drive
Hi Team and Community,
As a professional delivering files on the daily, I'd love to see the introduction of a customisable and branded landing page for shared files à-la-WeTransfer, allowing professionals to remain on-brand and professional for file deliveries using Proton Unlimited or other paid tiers (for Drive).
I'm thinking of graphic designers, agencies, photographers, but every B2B/B2C business could benefit from this seemingly easy-to-implement feature.
Suggestions include :
- a custom URL tail,
- adding a background,
- adding a logo,
- adding contact info / socials.Big bonus if you somehow figure out how to let us customise…

Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage
In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.
This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.
My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…
