Seedvault support on Android
I would like Proton Drive to be able to automatically back up Android data from Seedvault backups.

Add OPDS feature to Drive
The Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) is an open standard that allows content servers to syndicate their publications, like e-books and comics, in a catalog format. This enables reader applications on devices like iPads and Android tablets to directly browse, download, and sync content from a remote library. I propose that Proton Drive implement OPDS support, allowing users to generate a secure OPDS feed for any specified folder.
This would function similarly to how many reader apps currently integrate with Dropbox or Google Drive. A user could simply right-click a folder (e.g., "My E-Books"), generate a unique OPDS URL with…

Shortcuts on displayed pictures/videos
When displaying a picture or watching a video in Proton Drive/Photos, it would be very convenient to have shortcuts that appear at the bottom when touching the screen, such as a trash bin shortcut icon or a share shortcut icon.
This would enhance the user experience and save time.
Thank you for your consideration.

Inboxes
Maybe this does exist already and I just can't find how to enable it. I'd like to be able to share a folder with other people to which they can only write. It could just be an additional folder access control setting on top of editor and viewer. The use case I am thinking of is secure remote logging, specifically for scripts used by multisig wallet signers.

One Click Only To Open PD Items On Phone
It currently takes two clicks to open photos and PDFs in the PD phone app. The first click is the download and the second click is the decryption. I think it’s fair to assume a user that clicks on an item wants to open it, so all processes involved in the opening of that file should be accomplished with a single click.
Thanks for the hard work and taking user feedback! The applications are great.

Add delay + alert after failed password attempts on shared links
Problem description:
When sharing a file or folder with a password, there's currently no rate limiting – anyone can keep guessing the password without any delay.
Proposed solution:
I’d suggest two improvements:
Introduce a delay or cooldown after a few failed password attempts (e.g. 10–30 seconds after 3 wrong tries, or temporary lockout after repeated failures).
Send a notification (email or in-app) to the file owner when there are multiple failed access attempts. This would help users detect suspicious activity early.
These changes would greatly improve the security of password-protected shared content.
Thanks!

Option to allow/not allow editors, viewers, and commenters to copy or change permissions
I want to know that when I share something, I can make sure it isn't shared or copied and that other people don't change permissions on it without my consent. I think that unlike on Google Docs, the default should be to not allow copying, sharing, and changing permissions. A lot of Google Docs users don't know about the setting and don't know that their work can be shared or used unless they change the setting. Thanks.

Docs: allow on-the-fly translation from Firefox or similar
Right now, trying to translate a published doc (view mode) using the built-in, privacy-first, Firefox feature, doesn't work. I ignore if this is a Firefox limitation, a structural limitation, or something Proton can work on, but it would be great if such feature, which I use because is run locally and respects privacy, could work.
I am working on something that at the moment I would like to publish as-is, allowing readers to translate on-the-fly (which is something that local LLM will empower in the near future) but I'm unable to do so.Proton Docs HTML exporting disrupts the neat…

Open local PDF files on mobile
The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

Proton Photos
basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.
As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.
Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

Require 2FA and password before accessing Proton Drive in Windows Explorer
I would like the addition of an option in the Settings menu.
If this option is checked, data 'at rest' in the Proton Drive is encrypted and unusable in a Windows computer by default, on each startup. Only after entering the Proton password and 2FA does the Proton app unlock, decrypt all files and make read/write possible.
To clarify, it could still sync files while in 'encrypted' mode from the cloud to on-premise, but always encrypted first. And usable upon unlock.
Then when the user actually wants to do something, they can enter credentials and decrypt their Proton Drive. Kind…

Selective syncing of files for Mac/Linux/Windows
Actual syncing of files is so important, that I was considering to upgrade my plan today for getting 500GB storage. But then I realized that ProtonDrive doesn't sync files, and that it works with manual upload/download only, so it wouldn't be useful for me, and so I'll wait rather than upgrade now.
I work with Mac, Linux, and Windows computers, so I need to sync across them.
Also note that I said "selective syncing". It would be highly desirable that if you have 200GB of files and you start working with a computer you didn't sync yet, this doesn't trigger…

Password protect specific folders if sharing account.
It would be nice to have the possibility to assign a password to a specific folder. It's a good solution if you e.g. use your Proton Drive with other family members/friends what so ever.

Proton Drive API
It would be amazing to have an API (like https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk) to be able to make scripts that could automate uploading important files to ProtonDrive using a language like Python or similar.

ProtonDrive Bridge
With ProtonDrive, it would be nice if similar to how ProtonMail establishes a local mail server, if for ProtonDrive the bridge provided a local file server (WebDAV, etc.).
I'd expect the bridge to handle encryption/decryption and then could easily integrate the drive into any local file manager, etc.
