  1. Notification of changes

    I'd appreciate a feature that notifies me when something is changed in a share folder. For example, I get a message when someone has uploaded pictures

  3. Manage internal files/folders

    On the Mobile versions it would be really helpful to be able to manage internal files and remove the need for a file manager app such as "Files By Google" on our devices. Allowing us the usual functionality of a file manager, it could also allow for easier batch uploading to the cloud.

    It would make it easier to organise our devices files, be able to upload them to the cloud and remove them from device storage all in a single app.

  4. worm - Write Once Read Many

    I would like to request support for a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) archiving feature with integrated retention expiration management.

    📌 Feature Description
    The goal is to enable secure data archiving where files are immutable for a specified retention period, after which they become eligible for deletion or further processing.

    🎯 Key Requirements:
    WORM compliance: Data should be written once and remain unmodifiable during the retention period.

    Configurable retention policy: Ability to define retention duration per object/file at creation time.

    Automatic expiration handling:

    After the retention period, the system should allow:

    Automatic deletion

    Manual deletion (if desired)

    Archival transition to…

  5. 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.

  6. [mobile] Easier selection of multiple images

    Current implementation: Currently, when dealing with albums in Proton Drive on mobile devices, users must manually tap each image to select them and add them to an album. Same applies also when selecting images in other views, regardless if intention is to add them to an album or not.

    Issue: This process can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of images spread across multiple rows. The lack of a streamlined selection method makes it time-consuming to organize photos efficiently.

    Proposal: It would be beneficial to introduce a more intuitive way to select multiple images. On mobile devices,…

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  16. 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,

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
