Add light theme for Proton Drive desktop app
The Proton Drive desktop app currently only supports a dark theme. Other Proton apps (Mail, Calendar, Drive web) already allow theme selection, so it would be great to have the same here.
I realize dark themes are more trendy, but for me they have a negative effect - I feel more tired and even sleepy when using them. In bright rooms the reflections also make it harder on the eyes. A light theme helps me stay more productive and matches the rest of my system.

Proton Drive : Create Proton Docs / Proton Sheets from Windows Dropdown Context Menu
It would be highly valuable to integrate Proton Docs and Proton Sheets creation directly into the Windows context menu, similar to how native Microsoft Office files can be created.
Proposed functionality :
When a user right-clicks inside a folder in Windows File Explorer, they should have the option :New → Proton Doc
New → Proton SheetThis action would :
Instantly create a new document linked to the user’s Proton account or open a new document in the browser/app while associating it with that location conceptually.
Streamlining the workflow by reducing friction when creating new documents would make document…

Media Player basic functions
Hi,
would be awesome, if the Drive have a functionalities for media playback. In my case, I'm talking about audiobooks.Audiobooks (and music albums) have multiple files mostly. So I can listen to them, at the end of one file automaticly jump to a next file. And be able to sync the listening progress - when I stop listening in the middle of an audiofile on my PC web browser Proton drive, I can continue listening on my mobile phone or tablet in a Proton Drive app from the same position.
It can also apply for video, or better all…

# 0102 Dynamic “Topic Map” collections. Virtual “Topic Map” collections that aggregate tagged items
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Introduce dynamic virtual collections (called “Topic Maps”) that automatically gather all files/folders sharing a given tag, regardless of their physical location.
Why it matters:
- Users can view all assets related to a project or theme in one place without reorganising folders.
- Teams can quickly audit completeness of a deliverable set (e.g., “all assets tagged ‘Game‑Launch‑Q3’”).
- Mirrors the “smart playlist” concept many users already know from music apps.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a tag is created, generate a virtual folder view that pulls in every item with that…

Direct and bulk download of Proton Docs/Sheets files from Proton Drive application
Right now when this is being attempted, the following error message is given:
Your download includes Proton Docs or Proton Sheets files
Proton Docs and Proton Sheets files cannot be downloaded directly and will not be included in this download. You can download the other files by clicking 'Continue downloading'.
To download these files, open them in Proton Docs or Proton Sheets and export them.

Make Proton Drive folder a 'proper' folder on Mac
I was trying to work out whether the files in my Proton Drive folder were being backed up to my cloud-based Backblaze backup. Trying to find out where Proton Drive files are actually stored on Mac was a bit of a nightmare. I was unable to clearly see whether these files were included in my backup because they're effectively hidden deep within the user Library. This obfuscation means that I don't trust Proton Drive to hold my files because I can't easily locate and access them, which can be a critical task when setting up things like a cloud backup…

Proton Doc links should continue to work, even when moved out of Proton Drive's folder
I moved a Proton Doc 'file' (link) out of the Proton Drive folder on my Mac, which seems to have the same effect as deleting the document.
Trying to open the link from outside the Proton Drive folder gives an error: "This file type can only be opened from within Proton Drive." The link still won't work even if I put it back inside the Proton Drive folder. After doing this, trying to open the file throws up the same error but also creates a "Revision is currently not enabled" sync error in the menu bar icon.
This is jarring…

Prompt lumo in docs (with diff view)
I would like to make adjustments in Proton Docs with Lumo similar to ChatGpt Canvas mode. So I can prompt Lumo in Proton docs, and it makes the adjustment. Ideally, the adjustment gets highlighted as a diff, like with working with LLMs in Cursor or Windsurf, so I can accept or reject the changes.
This would allow me to ditch Chatgpt for writing docs. Because currently I copy often Proton docs into Chatgpt, iterate there via Canvas and then copy it back.

Photo date
Please support photos taken before 1st January, 1970. Currently, these are all bundled together under January 1970 on the iOS Proton Drive app, and cannot be reached at all in a browser. Without this feature, Drive is useless for sharing my father's photos.

Voice notes into Proton Drive
A "Voice Notes" feature in Proton Drive would be nice. You would record your voice notes, sound recording and Drive encrypts it and store the file in Drive cloud automatically.

Colab
I observed that some universities across Europe relays only on Google Colab to make, test, synch, share code during their classrooms.
The idea is to have some kind of interface, similar to what google does, to be able to develop code, test it's functionalities, store sources at drive (text based files), and even better if Lumo can help developing code as Gemini does.
Having such a tool can be a good argument to induce EU agents to switch from their current US based big techs providers, to a secure development platform, thinking in necessary privacy for research and investigation topics.

Workbooks (Sheets) Statistic Bar
Both Google Docs and Microsoft have a feature that when you select cells, if they are of the same data type, you will get an average, sum, min, max, and count of total selected cells. This could be across rows, or in columns. This is very helpful if you need a quick sum of fields, without creating a new field to calculate those values.
This value shows up in the very bottom right.

Add a button to download all photos from the photos section of Proton Drive
In the photos section of the web interface, I see no option to download all the photos. When I select photos, I can download the selection and I can even select by months, but not by years and there is no select all button. Selecting many years of photos by months to download all of them is very tedious. It would be helpful to add a select all button or a download all button. Also, it would be great if photos could somehow be synced into the Proton Drive folder via the PC app.

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:
EnteringPhotos/Events/2021_09_Wedding/Aperitifin 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 likemkdir -pon Linux/macOSWhy 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…5 votes
