1. [WINDOWS] Option to customize the path of the folder to sync between computers

   It would be cool if Proton Drive had an option to customize the path of the folder that you want to sync between computers (like Google Drive does).

   Currently Proton Drive forces you to use a certain folder (Unit:\Your Proton Drive folder\My files), so it forces the user to alter their data structure.

   Creating a junction point/symbolic link is not a valid solution since they have a number of inconveniences like not being able to do Explorer searches (junctions are not indexed) or not being able to access them via Quick Access (symbolic links act as shortcuts when pinned so they redirect directly to the target folder).

   I consider this an essential feature. I was very surprised when I found out that Proton Drive lacks it.

2. Selectable language/region formatting in proton docs

   It is very annoying that when I edit a proton doc (spreadsheet), all the numbers and dates are using a US format, despite my Proton Drive account being set to Danish language.
   Please add the option for the user to select the formatting of dates and numbers that they want to use, regardless of what language their browser/account is using.

3. Manual sync on Windows

   It seems that Proton Drive only syncs documents when the last change value changes, not when the file actually changed, which creates a problem. Windows has this annoying quirk where, if the file size didn't change, it won't update the meta data for the time the document was last saved, so even if you saved 10 times in 10 minutes, if the changes you made summed up to the same file size, Explorer will continue to show the change time as being 10 minutes prior, and the updated file with not be automatically synced. To bypass that you should add a "Sync now" button next to "Pause sync," to force a hash check, or add a right click context menu to files force a sync.

4. save as conversions that do not need download

   Proton docs can be downloaded in various formats. But you cannot save to the drive in those formats, you have to download and then upload, risking leaving the document on an insecure drive!

   Add a "save as" feature which works like download, but saves to the drive.

5. Improve performance when browsing large photo folders on iOS

   Problem
   Currently, browsing large folders containing photos in the Proton Drive iOS app is very slow.

   The following issues occur consistently:

   • Slow thumbnail generation
   • Scrolling frequently stalls or freezes
   • Opening photos takes several seconds
   • Recently viewed photos are not cached efficiently
   • In some cases the app becomes unresponsive and has to be force-closed

   Suggestion
   Improve performance for large photo collections by focusing on:

   • Faster thumbnail generation
   • Smoother scrolling
   • Better caching of thumbnails and recently viewed photos
   • Faster opening of photos after the first view

   Why it matters
   Many users store large photo archives in Proton Drive. Improving performance would make Proton Drive much more suitable as a daily photo archive and would encourage more users to migrate from Apple Photos or Google Photos.

6. Option to make drive folders (containing photos) visible in the photos album section

   While there are many similar tickets regarding this topic, i just wanted to add my specific request, ignoring the often posed usefulness question of treating the photos section completely separate to the overall file section.

   With this current structure in place, I would love to have the option to mark whole folders in "files", making them visible in the Photos Album section. In my case, I store my Photo backups in Proton Drive, organized by a certain folder structure. (mostly organized by year/location/event) While i don't want to clutter my photo album section with all these photos stored in Files, it would be great to make certain event folders visible there. (especially since file folders can't be viewed in the same way photo albums can, an option which, while not ideal, would at least ease my pain in regard to viewing photos in my proton drive file section)

8. Segmented Streaming for Videos to enable previewing large video files

   I tried to preview a 5min video which is 5GB in my drive, but I couldn't. It wouldn't load at all. I assume the app is trying to download the whole thing and then let me view it instead of serving me chunks, so with segmented streaming I hope I can view any of my video files with 0 waiting time.

9. Enable default auto-format of double hyphens to em dashes in Proton Docs.

   As a journalist using Proton Docs for secure drafting, the lack of automatic formatting for em dashes is a significant friction point in my workflow.

   In many professional text editors, typing two hyphens automatically converts them to an em dash. This is standard for long-form writing and quoting. I would love to see it in Proton Docs.

10. Proton Sheets - Reverse plotting order of data

    In Proton sheets, introduce a new feature that allows the user change the plotting order of data in charts.

    Currently we are forced to consider the way we order the source data, which makes it very difficult to accurate import data and charts from other sources. Especially tangible if a user is trying to migrate data from other services.

    Core feature that is missing:
    Allow for reversing order of data in both x and y axis

11. Plaintext and source files editing

    It would be great to be able view and edit plaintext or source files.

    • This one feature would allow to work with dozens of file formats in different programming/scripting languages, config files etc.
    • It would allow to create quick txt/md notes, where the full blown rich text editor is not required/desired.
    • It would allow to use Markdown note vaults, like those used by Obsidian.
    • It would allow to use tabular data in CSV format, which might cover some use cases for the (currently missing) spreadsheets feature.

    In the future, it would be also nice to have some syntax highlighting for popular languages. But even without that, the ability to edit raw text would be a massive improvement.

12. Please make Proton Drive available in F-Droid

    Unlike Proton Authenticator, Pass, VPN, and Lumo apps, which are available in F‑Droid, it’s sad that Proton Drive is still unavailable there. I really miss this app to have all Proton apps from F‑Droid.
    - https://search.f-droid.org/?q=proton

    I hope it can be made available soon!

13. Create specific folder icons on Windows that reflect the synchronisation status of a folder. (Proton Drive Client)

    On Windows, when folders are synced using the Proton Drive Client, the folder icon remains the Windows default one. It would be good to have different icons that reflect the status of the synchronisation operations.
    For example, on top of the original icon
    - Small green mark for "synced"
    - Small blue mark for "On-going synchronisation"
    - Small red mark for "Synchronisation is not active" (which could alert the user of a problem)

    drive could have an feature to name files with an algorithm for example if someone sorted all pictures of animals into folders: dog1, dog2, ..., dog_1000, ...

    Maybe it could be connected to lumo: than one could enter names of people and animals or plushies or figures and it also could sort and rename it. Maybe also with date (change-date / upload date on computer or drive or more accurate the date of the folder).

17. Native Home Assistant Integration for Proton Drive Backups

    Hello Proton Team,

    I am writing to strongly request a native integration or official API support for Home Assistant backups to Proton Drive.

    The Context: Many privacy-conscious users run Home Assistant (the leading open-source home automation platform) on devices like Raspberry ***. For these users, securing local backups in a zero-knowledge cloud is a critical security requirement. Currently, Proton Drive is the ideal target due to its end-to-end encryption, but it is inaccessible for automated backups.

    The Problem:

    No Public API: Unlike Google Drive or Dropbox, Proton Drive lacks a public, documented API that allows third-party applications to authenticate and upload files without triggering aggressive CAPTCHA/abuse protection (Error Code 9001).
    No Official Addon: There is no official Home Assistant addon for Proton Drive.
    Workarounds are Fragile: Existing community solutions (like Rclone or mounting via desktop clients) are unstable, require complex manual CAPTCHA solving, or need a separate physical device, which is not feasible for many users.
    

    The Request: We ask Proton to:

    Develop an official Home Assistant integration (addon) that securely handles authentication and zero-knowledge encryption for backups.
    Or, provide a stable, documented API (with OAuth/API Key support) that allows trusted third-party clients to perform automated uploads without CAPTCHA challenges.
    

    Impact: Implementing this would align perfectly with Proton's mission of privacy and security, enabling thousands of users to protect their smart home data without compromising on convenience or security. It would make Proton Drive the default choice for privacy-focused smart home enthusiasts.

    Thank you for considering this request.

20. Aliases, Symbolic Links and Tags in Proton Drive for macOS

    please add support for Aliases, Symbolic Links and Tags in Proton Drive for macOS;

    as of now, aliases to folders when copied to proton are converted to empty and useless "blank" files,
    instead aliases to files (.doc, .pdf, ...) are initially actually aliases but they don't have the alias icon (with the lower left arrow) ...the problem is that they work only until the original is modified and saved (in the same location), then they become useless too!

    another thing: files in proton drive loose the finder tags (which are a crucial part of the workflow of many mac users, me included),
    I don't know if tags are lost upon uploading or when making the files available offline.
