  1. Support creating nested folders with path syntax (mkdir -p style)

    When creating a new folder, allow users to enter a path with forward slashes to create the entire folder hierarchy in one step.

    Example:
    Entering Photos/Events/2021_09_Wedding/Aperitif in the "Folder name" input would create all four nested folders at once.

    Expected behavior:
    - Folders that already exist are silently skipped
    - Only missing folders in the path are created
    - Works like mkdir -p on Linux/macOS

    Why this helps:
    Currently, organizing files into a deep folder structure requires creating each folder individually, navigating into it, then creating the next one. This is tedious when setting up a new hierarchy or importing…

  2. Proton Docs: Convert footnotes from docx to Docs files and show comments on download

    1. I work in Ulysses (Markdown) and export to Word, store the docx files in Proton Drive and share with a collaborator, and we work together in Docs. While passages marked with the "::" code show as highlighted in docs, footnotes created in markdown, which show up in docx, do not show up in Docs files.

    2. There seems to be no way to download a docs file in any format and have the comments made in the docs file show up in the downloaded file. If there is, please let me know. If not, please consider adding this feature. Thanks.
      Please…

  3. 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.

  4. Ebook reader

    Add an eBook Reader to proton drive so I can read my ePub directly from proton.

    Currently I need to download them from proton and then open it to be able to read them on mobile.

  5. See and scroll all the Photos in my Drive

    I'd like to switch from Dropbox to use a European and privacy-oriented software and I'm using since some years Protonmail and Vpn.
    I tried your Proton Drive app and website, but both systems are not showing in the photos page all the pictures that I've saved in my cloud space. It's a bit of a pity, because sometimes I think that it's just simple and nice to look for a picture or image scrolling in a page in chronologically order, like Dropbox does.
    It would be nice if Proton Drive would work like that.

  6. A WeTransfer download directly from Proton Drive

    Right click on a file or folder and send a download link. No need to create a shared folder, no need for the receiver to create a Proton account; just a download like WeTransfer or Dropbox Transfer.

  7. Local cache

    Other cloud providers have a local cache that you can set the size of, that just retains your most recently opened files so you're not having to re-download them every time you open them. I realise you can set specific files or folders to be available locally, but it's a pain having to do this when you have lots of different files (drawing files is what I'm thinking of) with large (GB) attachments. With a cache they're just available while actively working with them, and then they eventually get pushed back off the local drive when you're no longer opening…

  8. 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.

  9. Show Shared Folders in Mac OS Finder

    Please add the shared folders to the Mac OS Finder/Proton Drive integration. When collaborating on documents, it's too tedious to have to user the native Proton Drive app and download files to work on them. We should be able to click on a shared folder/file in Proton Drive on Mac Finder like any other file and have it open in the default app.

  11. Numbered list numbers must be same font size as text.

    When using different font size for numbered lists, then number's size is small by default (not same as text's font size).

    Font size should be same for text and number.

  12. Adding photos manually from an Android phone to Proton Photos

    I later crop or delete photos on my phone, edit videos, but resynchronization does not work for changes to photos or videos, nor does synchronization for deletions, when I delete photos or videos in ProtonDrive, it is not deleted on my phone.

  13. 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.

  15. Proton "Drop" To Accept Secure Files Without Relying on Sender Email

    Would love for a feature to reserve an area in the Drive for a person with a link, auto-expiration, and password to "drop" files to an upper size limit in.

    I don't like how people with email services outside of Proton or likewise send me things using their email without password protection or expiration.

    There is no way to enforce that the file be deleted from their email. They might just plain forget or not know how to do it fully.

    Sending them a link to DROP a file into my Drive will let them upload directly to a secured…

    When I view a photo inside the Proton Drive gallery, I want to have the icons for sharing, liking (add to favorites) and trash can (move photo to trash) at the bottom of the picture for quick access.

  17. allowing backup drive to online solutions (e.g. StorJ) w/o downloading data locally on a computer

    I'd love a feature to backup ProtonDrive data w/o downloading data locally on a computer. Either with a Proton Backup functionality (separate from the active cloud storage) or by targeting an online storage service as a backup (e.g. StorJ) from the web cloud interface.

  18. Would be nice to not have every tool pop out into a new tab.

    Please add the option to not pop out application into new tabs. Would be nice to have a home screen where you can switch through all application within one browser tab. For instance, make mail the home screen and have the other apps located on the side bar, then all you have to do is switch between the applications.

  19. Download and Upload speed limiter

    In EU most of the countries has bad internet over ASDL, so limiting upload and download speed while syncing files is important, because to big upload can kill whole home network download and vice versa. For example on speed asdl like I have I can upload 2000Kb/s but without limit it can go up to 2300kb/s which kills my internet connection. So I can only use cloud disks which had these limiters build in. For example, Mega, Dropbox, OneDrive and Tresorit has it, but not proton.

  20. Visual Noise Reduction & New Features for Creatives in Proton Drive

    Dear Proton Team & Community,

    I am a long-time admirer of Proton's commitment to privacy and security, and I am currently evaluating your ecosystem (specifically Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Docs, Proton Sheets, and Lumo AI) for my professional work as an author, ghostwriter and designer.

    Because I handle highly sensitive, unpublished manuscripts, unique fictional languages, and proprietary world-building data, the zero-access encryption and no-logs policy of Proton Drive are essential for my workflow. However, I am encountering a significant UX/UI hurdle regarding visual organisation that limits my ability to use Proton Drive effectively for creative projects.

    The Challenge: Currently, Proton…
