PIN/Password (instead of a long password) in Proton Drive Windows apps (like the Proton Pass app)
The PIN feature in the Proton Drive app is great for shared devices or work use, so no one else can access my Proton Drive app.

See album on a timeline
I would like to see album on a timeline. The goal is to watch my event, but only one picture for each. Then I click on it and see the complete album. For exemple, it will help to see everything we did during a year.
I'm looking for a kind of journal view, memory board...9 votes -

Proton Docs - Remember last position on mobile
Whenever I open a Proton Docs document on my phone in Proton Drive, I am presented with the beginning of the document. When editing long documents, I always have to scroll down indefinitely to find the position I left off.
It would relaay be a nice feature, if Docs could offer me a "start at last position" option like MS Word mobile does.1 vote -
Windows App fuctionality
I would like to see on all the functionality you see on the web browser access page into the windows APP. If I install the Windows app, I think is logic to have the rich sharing, moving and other functions right there without the need to open a browser, log in, etc.
I feel without all the functionality, the app defeats the purpose of installing it. Especially if my Proton folder is located into a different drive. For some reason the APP is blocked in local Windows generic folders.2 votes -

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…5 votes -
Proton Mail - Sorting custom filters
Being able to sort the custom filters based on alphabetical order like it is already possible to filter your Folder and Labels.
This would make sure the managing of multiple filters is easy and convenient.2 votes -
File tags, tag views, and at-rest encryption
I'm currently a user of both Proton Drive and Standard Notes (SN). Both products serve different needs, but I can envision a world in which the best aspects of SN are merged into Proton Drive.
A big weakness of Proton Drive's local file sync functionality comes from the fact that all files must be sync'd and that there is no opportunity to keep them encrypted at-rest. While users can certainly introduce a separate encryption/decryption step to the process of manipulating files, this opens up a window of vulnerability in which any locally running application with shell access can read the…

Proton Docs: Virtual Collection or Notebook
In the Proton Docs app, enable users to add docs to collections. A collection ...
(1) ... provides a list view of all its docs (irrespective of their actual location within the Drive folder structure), and
(2) ... can be opened and edited in a single browser tab, e.g. by displaying each doc as a page (creating something like a notebook).Use case:
I maintain individual 'Overview' documents for topics such as: bank accounts, various insurances, summer holiday each year, etc.
Obviously, these documents are in separate folders within Proton Drive (alongside related materials like invoices).
Now, I’d like the…

“I’m very happy with Proton, keep it up! I know a spreadsheet app is being worked on for Proton Drive, but could you tell me when it will become available? I miss it a lot—so soon as possible would be great.”

# 0107 User‑friendly onboarding in Topic Maps for non‑technical users
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add clear onboarding tooltips, short tutorial videos, and example tag sets to help users who are not comfortable with metadata understand and adopt the new Tag/Topic Map functionality.
Why it matters:
- Reduces the learning curve for casual or non‑technical users, encouraging wider adoption.
- Prevents misuse (e.g., overly generic tags) by guiding best practices.
- Aligns with Proton’s mission to make privacy‑first tools accessible to everyone.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When the Tag button first appears, show a one‑time tooltip explaining “What is a tag?” with a “Got it” dismiss…

# 0106 Bulk‑tagging UI. Bulk‑tagging UI (multi‑select → “Add Tag”) for Proton Drive
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Provide a bulk‑tagging workflow where users can select multiple files/folders, right‑click, and choose “Add Tag” to apply one or more tags to all selected items at once.
Why it matters:
- Saves time for scientists, educators, and any power user who needs to label large asset libraries.
- Encourages consistent tagging because applying a tag to many items becomes frictionless.
- Mirrors bulk‑action patterns already present in other file‑management tools.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Extend the multi‑select toolbar with an “Add Tag” button.
- Open a modal where the user can…

# 0105 Search & filter integration + “Topics” sidebar
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Extend the existing search bar to filter by tag and add a permanent “Topics” sidebar that lists all user‑defined tags for quick navigation.
Why it matters:
- Users can instantly locate all items with a given tag without opening multiple folders.
- The sidebar provides a visual overview of the tagging taxonomy, helping non‑technical users discover related content.
- Complements the virtual Topic Map view and encourages consistent tagging practices.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Index encrypted tag metadata locally and perform tag‑filtered search client‑side.
- Add a collapsible “Topics” panel on the…

# 0104 Permission inheritance for Topic Map virtual collections
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Make virtual Topic Maps inherit the most restrictive sharing permissions of the items they contain, with an optional override to set separate permissions for the collection itself.
Why it matters:
- Guarantees that a virtual collection never exposes a file to a broader audience than the file’s original sharing settings.
- Allows teams to create a “read‑only” view of a project while keeping the underlying assets private.
- Aligns with Proton’s zero‑knowledge model – permissions are enforced client‑side.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a Topic Map is rendered, compute the intersection of…

# 0103 Docs/Sheets creation from a Topic Map
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Enable users to create a new Proton Doc or Sheet from within a Topic Map, automatically inheriting the map’s tag(s) and sharing settings.
Why it matters:
- Project documentation stays logically linked to the same set of assets, reducing the chance of orphaned files.
- Teams can spin up meeting notes, design specs, or spreadsheets that are instantly discoverable via the same tag.
- Keeps the workflow inside Drive, avoiding the need to manually copy‑paste links.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Add a “New Doc from Topic” button in the Topic Map view.
- The…

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.

Recovery of Proton Docs and Sheets
Please allow recovery of Proton Docs and Sheets when moved off Proton Drive. I dragged a few Proton Docs and Sheets from Drive onto my desktop, only to learn that now the data is lost per customer service. Uploading the files back to Proton Drive should logically be able to open them. It's extremely strange and disappointing that no warning is given when moving files off Proton Drive, and found nothing about this issue in the Proton Docs documentation online.
