  1. Linking cloud folders directly.

    Can we not just share a link of the folder in Onedrive and the servers download from one another? Why do we have to download to our own computer first? It takes more energy globally, adding heat as well as stealing our time in our off days. Efficiency is not there.

  2. Make iOS/iPadOS Drive app more powerful

    The iOS/iPadOS Drive app is fine, but I find myself often gravitating towards the web app as it’s more power user friendly. I can quickly jump to any folder by expanding the folder tree, which doesn’t exist at all on mobile. Uploads are much more reliable whereas they often fail in the mobile app.

  3. Photo-section: filename visible while hovering tile

    It would be very convenient while in the photo-section, the filename of the photo would appear (i.e. after a second) while hovering the tile.
    It would make it much easier to select the proper photo while multiple versions of the same photo are available.

  5. The ability to preview content inside archives. (zip, rar, etc.)

    As the title says. I find this feature to be of great use to those of us who clutter lots of files inside archives. I find it a bit annoying that proton drive doesn't support said feature when competitors like Mega and Dropbox do.

  6. Show sync progress

    The desktop app could show the sync progress (files synced/total files to be synced) in the Activity tab. That would make it easier to guess how long it might take for the whole syncing process to get completed.

  7. Distractionfree writing. Ability to add Chapters and see titles in side column.

    Hi,
    could you add distraction free writing in docs? Google Docs has this option, would love to have it here. Full screen writing would be a big plus.
    Ability to add chapters and see them in the side column. Ability to move them around, i.e. chapter 3 goes to chapter 2 spot etc.

  10. 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.

  11. Reconnect desktop app to existing folder

    Hi,
    I wanted to pull an offline backup for my and my wives Drive.
    I synced my folder to an external drive, switched users in the app to my wife, synced to external drive and then...
    I couldn't switch back to the big online folder of my account, because you can only switch to an empty folder. So I had to download everything in my account again.
    And the next time I want to pull a backup on my wives account I'm back to the problem.
    I created a second Windows account for her now and never switch users in…

  12. Create the best Team Productivity Suite Ever Existed (actionable ideas to add Chat, Sheets, Slides, etc.)

    Proton is the best email service ever existed. Period.

    However, its biggest flaw against competitors is that email is the least used tool for collaboration nowadays, and Proton lacks integration with most other tools due to various factors, with the most obvious being its completely different concept for security and data ownership.

    So, how can Proton be better than MS Office and GWorkspace?

    Here are some ideas that I think can be created (relatively) easily.

    1. ProtonOffice - Integrate OnlyOffice in Proton Drive and whitelabel it (they offer this possibility i think. (Or even better- acquire them and rebrand them to…

  13. Manual sync

    It would be great e.g. for photo/video backup on phones, if we could manually trigger syncing of data from the phone to Drive. It's not everything I need synced; could be I take a funny photo to send to a loved one, but it's not something I want to waste drive storage on.

  14. file manager

    A file manager based on proton, the default android file manager is a mess and even google files is pretty lame and not easily navigated, on windows "files" app is a good alternative for file manager and on mac the default is pretty decent and there is eagle both for mac and windows but it is not available for android or ios, it would be good to see something like eagle for phones and computers both integrated with proton drive like icloud on ios and mac

  15. chromebook

    Please add Chromebook's to the list of available devices that can sync files. I don't want to have to sit and upload every folder/file from the web interface or app as it is very time consuming. Having PD sync with Chromebooks would be very beneficial, especially to those of us who are trying to DeGoogle and only have access to a Chromebook.

  16. Photos section - let us choose what types of files will be backed up

    When some photos in my iPhone gallery has been for example color corrected or copped the backup tends to include unmodified original as well as modified version and it is quite annoying when I’m interested to have only modified version, if you would give us some settings menu with checkboxes where we can choose if unmodified originals should be backed up it would be nice, and there is room for more settings like live photos or maybe someone would want to exclude screenshots or videos,..and cool setting might be to backup only photos older than XY days because I tend…

  17. Allow Proton Drive to use my smartphone's office app

    Other drives like Onedrive and Google Drive give the option to use the smartphone's own office apps to open documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc...
    I really miss that as I cannot open my sheets, for example, unless I download them. And if I make a change in them, then I have to upload it to the Proton Drive afterwards.
    Sorry, but just to be clear. In those other drives like Onedrive, you do not need to download the sheet in other to open it and if you edit the sheet, then Onedrive automatically replace the older version as you save the…

  18. Templates structure in Proton docs

    I need to create the same page structure in proton docs multiple times to ensure that i am not missing any element in my report writing.
    It will be extremely productive, if a template could be saved for such requirement and then i just click that template and save my 7 to 9 clicks including the font and the size specifications.

  19. Add EXIF data "CreationDate" if not exists

    Images and videos which do not have a "CreationDate" tag in its EXIF data heavily rely on the "DateLastChanged" tag in order to be sorted correctly. WhatsApp for instance does not ship that CreationDate tag with its media files.
    This leads to the problem that images without this important EXIF data entry cannot be downloaded without the loss of any date information (because all other tags are changed to todays date).

    The idea is to set the "CreationDate" EXIF data if a media file does not have it at download time. It should use the "DateLastChanged" date for that. That…

  20. Backup macOS Photos to photos on drive

    Would be great if the photos and albums in my photos app on my mac are backuped to drive photos. So then iOS phots are backup and macOS photos are backuped (I do not use icloud anymore because I do not trust Apple anymore). In this way I can have all my photos in 1 place.
