  1. GoodSync compatibility

    I use GoodSync to synchronise all of my important files with my pCloud account. Naively I assumed GoodSync would work with Proton Drive as well but it doesn't. Not a lot of use to me without GoodSync compatibility. Please add this feature.

  2. Ability to Prioritize Sync

    As a user of Proton Drive, I would like to prioritize files and folders above other file syncs. There are certain files that are critical to be updated as soon as possible over other sync files. For example, you have added a bunch of photos to proton drive and they are taking hours to be added to proton Drive Cloud. Suddenly you update a critical file. It would be convenient to prioritize that file above the photos so it get updated as soon as possible instead of behind all the photos.at present there is no way to prioritize sync updates.…

  3. 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.

  4. Music

    Proton music (I know there's one other post, but I want to add other features)

    open source cloud drive based, like Spotify, file steamer

    We have files and photos section in drive app

    Why not make an song section?

    IT would take files within specified directory and put in an player UI

    Also have hand off to remote control and sync devices, save YouTube id to import, retrieve comments and create shareable playlists with other users

    Search metadata, lyrics, track local plays for year review

    Ofc, user must own the files from CDs or whatever

    I've gone trough many players…

  5. Sheets - Array Literals Curly Brace Notation to Combine/Append Ranges

    I have a workbook with multiple sheets in it. Each sheet represents a different client and each sheet has the same column layout and data types. I need to build a summary page that combines information from every sheet together into one sheet but this appears to be impossible in Proton Sheets.

    In Google Sheets the notation for this is dead simple:

    ={Sheet1!A:C; Sheet2!A:C}

    The above usage is simple but array literals are much more powerful than that when combined with other functions and formulae. External resources:

  7. 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.

  8. Auto delete photos after 30 days when deleted from native photos app

    Once photos from my iOS device sync to proton drive, they stay there unless I delete them from the proton drive app. When I delete the photo from my native photos app, it would be nice if it auto-deleted from my proton drive after 30 days or so. It would help keep the proton drive clean automatically. Even better if we can choose for how long they stay in the drive (grace period).

  9. add a bulk delete feature for albums especially for those created during google photos import

  11. Sync frequency setting in desktop app

    Some softwares I use everyday update lots of files in the background.
    The continuous sync quite often get stuck with sync errors trying to keep up (and then I have to pause/restart sync).
    To avoid this I simply pause sync for the day sometimes, but it's a pain to manually do this everyday.

    It would be awesome to be able to sync the drive once a day at session startup for example (or at a specific time), when I'm not modifying stuff yet. I don't really need a sync every second.

  12. Open or convert Google Docs files

    I moved my Google Docs files to Proton. Currently, those can't be opened in Proton Drive. If that cannot be achieved, it would be nice to lets you convert them. I am also curious if there are current ways to achieve that.

  15. Make it possible to move data from synced computers to "my files"

    Bulk upload of files (multiple GB) to "my files" using the browser is not reliable. Very often only the folder names are uploaded but no data inside. That requires manual checking of each folder to see if the content was uploaded too or not.

    When as a workaround, syncing the data using the Proton Drive app is chosen, it gets reliably uploaded and is stored in "Computers". Now the problem is that the data can't be moved to "my files" where I want it to have it stored.

  16. Thumbnail support for modern formats, like WebP, HEIF and HEVC

    Newer smartphones make use of modern formats for storage of photos and videos. These formats include WebP and HEIF for photos and HEVC and WebM for video. Adding thumbnail and metadata support for these formats allows us to make better use of the albums feature, without having to convert these files before storage.

  17. Quick navigation to main page on mobile app

    If you are inside a directory and click on “Files” in the navigation bar on the left bottom corner, it should take you back to the main Files page. Currently, nothing happens when you tap on it.

  18. Allow for altering Documents inside Drive app

    Right now I'm having to go to the web page to access Proton Docs to edit them. Strange there's no way to edit Docs from within Proton Drive, and there's no download for a Proton Docs app.

  19. Theme Based Search (Proton drive photos)

    I propose adding a theme-based search in Proton Drive, similar to Google Photos, while fully respecting privacy. The idea would be to use a local AI on the device to analyze images and generate encrypted tags or indexes, used only for searching. This way, the images would never leave the device or Proton servers.

    I’m not sure if this is technically feasible at scale, but with optimized LLMs and AI recognition models, it might be possible to find a balance between privacy and intelligent search, giving users a richer experience without compromising their personal data.

  20. Allow adding photos from Proton Drive to Albums in the web interface

    Currently, there's no way to add photos that are already stored in Proton Drive to Photos when using the web interface. The only options are:

    • Use the iOS or Android app
    • Upload directly from your computer to Photos

    Requested feature: Add the ability to browse Proton Drive and select existing photos/videos to add to an album, directly from the web interface.

    Bonus: Ideally, this should work by reference rather than creating a duplicate. Adding a photo from Drive to an album shouldn't consume twice the storage quota.

    Use case:Users who have already uploaded and organized photos in Proton Drive…
