    In some cases (Proton docs), it would be really nice to allow file duplication.

  2. icon view (Albums)

    Photos & Albums suggestion:

    🍄 When click Albums:
    now is list view only, add icon view (grid view) please :)

    And if I can choose sort by " file name / time / file size ",
    then I can set "one of options" as default.
    It would be so perfect..
    then I can share my works photos to clients via Proton Drive/ Albums in the future.
    looks good.

    😇Always, Thanks to Proton.

  3. Folder tree should autoexpand during navigation

    Similar to File Explorer on Windows, there's a setting called 'Autoexpand to folder'. When clicking a folder on the main area of File Explorer, the tree view on left panel autoexpand to that folder.

    Proton Drive is better with such feature. Currently, when double-clicking a folder on the main area, the folder tree on the left doesn't change, and sometimes it's deeply nested inside, thus clicking the tree to browse to current folder is slow.

  5. 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…

  6. Add a tool for convert documents

    I think this is an excellent additional feature, not only for documents and images, but also for audio and video files.

  8. name doc

    Auto suggest name for a doc based on fist line of text in the doc.

    It is a tiny nit, but a really nice feature GDoc has -- open a new doc, type int he title of the doc, click on rename, it suggests the title text as the name,

  9. Thumbnail support for modern formats, like WebP, HEIF and HEVC

    Newer smartphones make use of modern formats for storage of photos and videos. These formats include WebP and HEIF for photos and HEVC and WebM for video. Adding thumbnail and metadata support for these formats allows us to make better use of the albums feature, without having to convert these files before storage.

  10. Proton Docs Desktop App

    Alongside the desktop Proton Drive app should be the option to have a desktop Proton Docs capability so that you can edit, create, or delete your Docs from the desktop without it having to be in the browser. Syncing across devices accordingly and the ability to work offline on the desktop. This would allow for easier use of functioning on an ongoing basis without having to do it on the web every time.

  11. Sharepoint Alternative

    I know this is a big request but a sharepoint alternative would be amazing, having pages, lists and document libraries would get larger organisations over.

  12. Virtual Machine Disk Space

    With the terabytes of storage you have given me going unused it would be useful to have a proton run virtual platform that allows me to utilize and format some of that as disk space allocatable to virtual machines for remote mounting.

  13. Buy and integrate excalidraw!

    Excalidraw is an end-to-end-encrypted Miro-Alternative. It would be great to integrate it into Proton Drive for all the business users.

  15. Automatic Substitute Feature

    A feature where we can manually add substitutions. For example, I like to use em dashes in my writing (—) but it's difficult to do on my regular keyboard, so I used the substitute feature in the other docs I use to automatically substitute "--" to "—" and use it with other things, too, like adding accented letters automatically onto names (turning eon to éon for example). I know there are keyboards out there that can do it, but I've never been able to find one that works conveniently enough for my writing, and this is a relatively minor but…

  16. Replacing modified files on Proton Drive Android

    Since currently the only way to modify a file on Android is to download it, modify it, and then upload it, the fact that when you upload the modified file, instead of replacing it, it duplicates it.

    This makes things difficult because after the upload, you have to delete the previous file and rename the modified file.

    It would therefore be very useful if, when you upload a file already in the cloud, it was replaced instead of being duplicated. This would make things much easier.

  17. Add Conditional Sync Pause Feature for Proton Drive

    I use Proton Drive to back up certain files for a game. However, it causes significant performance issues when the game is running due to constant synchronization. Currently, I have to manually pause the syncing, which requires me to remember to manually sync the files later.

    A feature that pauses syncing based on specific conditions would be very helpful. These conditions could include:

    • When a window is in full-screen mode
    • When certain processes are running (like games)

    This feature would benefit not only gamers but also anyone who needs a stable internet connection during critical tasks.

  18. Proton Docs: Virtual Collection or Notebook

    In the Proton Docs app, enable users to add docs to collections. A collection ...

    (1) ... provides a list view of all its docs (irrespective of their actual location within the Drive folder structure), and
    (2) ... can be opened and edited in a single browser tab, e.g. by displaying each doc as a page (creating something like a notebook).

    Use case:

    I maintain individual 'Overview' documents for topics such as: bank accounts, various insurances, summer holiday each year, etc.

    Obviously, these documents are in separate folders within Proton Drive (alongside related materials like invoices).

    Now, I’d like the…

  19. Edit file metadata (including photos)

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  20. I'd like comment/tag functions for files/photos/videos on the drive

    I'd like more options for personalization and organization of files. I'd like to add hyperlinks to sources. Tags for general ideas, like "cats" without needing that to be in the title of the file.
