  1. Photos: OCR/Text scanning and photo text search

    In iCloud Photos, I find it very useful that in my massive photo library I can search for text appearing in my photos. This makes searching for old pictures of documents (like a business card from three years ago) very easy. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), from my understanding, is much less computationally intensive than image classification or facial recognition, so it would be easier to implement before those in Proton Drive to scan your library and easier to run via local models, and still add a lot in terms of search functionality.

  3. Collection of Default Templates for Docs

    A small collection of generic document templates to select from would be very helpful to get started, showcase design/formatting features and different use cases. A good template also helps with user training by providing examples not just of what can be done, but the settings and formatting used to create it.

    The convenience of having some preformatted docs is a huge time saver.

  4. Fonts should preview in sheets

    Proton Sheets should preview the fonts when an area is selected and you are hovering over the font, as well as in the font selector showing what each font looks like.

  5. Help and Settings for Sheets

    Thanks for adding Sheets. I know it is brand-new, so hopefully you are already at work on implementing Dark Mode, a Settings panel to turn it on, and a Help menu so I don't have to refer to other spreadsheet products to learn about how to use it! Thank you!

  6. Proton Docs: Convert Case

    I would like a feature to change the case of selected text. For example, change "I have a dog named Bruno" to:

    • all caps ("I HAVE A DOG NAMED BRUNO")
    • all lower case ("i have a dog named bruno")
    • title case ("I Have a Dog Named Bruno")

  7. iOS: Ability to Return to Previously Viewed Page in PDF Viewer

    For example, if I tap on a chapter in the table of contents in a PDF and the view jumps to that chapter, I would like a “back” or “return” button allowing me to easily jump back to the table of contents.

    I have a lot of books in PDF form and it would be nice to read those PDFs within the Proton Drive app instead of having to export to another app, like Adobe.

  8. Migrate From Ente

    I’m currently using Ente until the Proton photo backup feature matures a bit more (and has additional tools like being able to sync deletion of a photo from the Drive with deletion from my device). At that point, I’d like to be able to easily migrate my photos from Ente Photos to Proton Photos.

  9. Name, Modified, & Size Filters Specific to Each Page, w/ Memory

    I often like to sort the contents of some folders by "name", and some by "modified" date.
    1. It would be great to have a global, and folder level memory, such that you can have some folders remain sorted by "modified" date, even if you apply "name globally".
    2. Secondly, for some reason, "modified" only seems to pertain to the end item its self, instead of the contents. For instance, if I have a 5 folders and within one of them I edit a Doc., the folder order will not change even though the contents of one of them has…

  10. Sanitize Shared Photos

    It would be nice to be able to optionally sanitize photos I share with someone. I do want my own photos to include the full metadata available, and sometimes I do want to share that with someone. But sometimes I want to share a photo with someone and I want to know they are not holding onto all the metadata my phone included with it. So it would be nice if sharing photos with someone also had an option to share a version of that photo that has the metadata sanitized.

    This seems to be a very important issue, as…

  12. Swipe up to see photo details

    When I view a photo inside the Proton Drive gallery, I want to swipe up to see details of the photo (date, camera infos, location) and a map that shows the location of the photo. It could look similar to iCloud.

  13. All photos available offline

    I want to use Proton Drive as a replacement for my phone gallery. Therefore, I want my photos to appear in the app instantly and not only after uploading. Also, I want all photos to be available offline, because I want to view photos without a network connection.

  14. Backup of .TMP files

    I recently learned through your Customer Support service that Proton Drive won't back up files with the .TMP extension, as it considers them temporary files.

    The issue is, I have a program stored in my Proton Drive that contain files with a .TMP extension, but I know for a fact that they are not temporary, but essential for the program to work.

    My suggestion is to either remove this restriction entirely, or to add a Settings option to allow users who select it to sync temporary files as well.

  15. Mount Proton Drive as a Virtual Disk / File System Integration for Windows

    I am a Proton Plus subscriber, and as a paying customer I expect a user experience and level of integration similar to what most competing cloud storage services already provide regarding backup and file synchronization.

    I use Proton Drive not only as a backup tool, but also as a working storage location.
    However, there is currently no option to mount Proton Drive as a standard virtual disk on Windows — for example as drive “P:\” in applications that interact directly with the file system.

    This feature is essential for professional and productivity-focused workflows because it would:

    make the entire Drive…

  16. virtual Proton NAS

    I propose a virtual NAS, hosted in Proton's data centres. It would serve as a server for different external services, in addition to ProtonDrive.

    Informaniak already offers a similar service.

  18. Backup on schedule

    Would be great to have an option to backup on schedule. Problem I have now is if a program does a lot of real time changes in a folder, then Proton Drive will go rampant with trying to save these changes to the cloud and often bug out because the files are in use etc.

  19. Ability to Prioritize Sync

    As a user of Proton Drive, I would like to prioritize files and folders above other file syncs. There are certain files that are critical to be updated as soon as possible over other sync files. For example, you have added a bunch of photos to proton drive and they are taking hours to be added to proton Drive Cloud. Suddenly you update a critical file. It would be convenient to prioritize that file above the photos so it get updated as soon as possible instead of behind all the photos.at present there is no way to prioritize sync updates.…

  20. 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.
