1. Lightweight notetaking/todo app

   I’m looking for a lightweight notetaking/todo app like Google Keep. I want to be able to write quick notes and organize lists (groceries, chores, tasks, etc.) in one place. It should stay in sync between my computer and my phone so I can add things anywhere. Markdown support would be great so I can bring my existing notes into it.

   Thanks for considering this!

2. Zotero for Proton Docs

   It would be great if there was a way to use Zotero with the new Docs in Proton Drive, similar to the existing Google Docs plugin.
   The ability to connect one's bibliographic reference database from Zotero would greatly facilitate the management of references in scientific and other publications.
   This is a well-known request from the community that uses both Proton Docs and Zotero : https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/117432/plug-in-for-proton-docs
   Thank you for considering this proposal.

3. set print area in sheets

   Great work on docs and sheets, they look great so far.

   In Sheets I'd like to see a set print area function. I have many sheets where I only want to print out certain areas and I currently can't do that (unless I'm being blind?).

   Many thanks.

4. Tags or labels for files and folders

   I would love to have the ability to better organize my files in Proton Drive by using labels or tags, independently from folders.
   For example, being able to tag a file as both “Project A” and “Budget” would make it much easier to find and group related items across different folders.

   This feature already exists in Proton Mail and works wonderfully for organizing emails by topic or context — it makes daily use much more efficient.
   Having a similar labeling system in Proton Drive would greatly enhance productivity, search, and overall organization, especially for users managing multiple projects or shared files.

   In short, tags would bring flexibility that traditional folder structures can’t provide, while staying true to Proton’s privacy-first philosophy.

5. Immich like Photo features

   Hello Proton,
   Many users are missing decent Photo capabilites in Proton Drive. Lack of albums, shared albums, features like memories, places, face recognition, basic photo management like offloading images etc. All of these features are provided by the best tool released so far - Immich.

   Can Proton team consider deep diving into Immich and it's features to further enhance the Photo offerings?

6. Open/edit md/docx/odt files in Proton Drive without creating a separate Proton Docs file

   As above, it seems strange that you can open files in Proton Docs, but a new file is created (pdoc) instead of amending the original file. Google drive allows for editing of docx and excel files from the drive without creating a separate doc. Clearly outline in your documentation that a new file is created to avoid confusion. This would also help in the future with integration of proton drive clients and seamless integration with file managers like on windows. I can amend files on pdrive on my windows machine but i cannot do so on my phone or using the drive online.

7. Upload Photo Folders Directly as Albums

   Allow users to upload an entire folder of photos directly into the Albums section so the folder is preserved as a single album. Currently, uploading a folder imports only the individual photos and removes the album structure, requiring each photo to be manually added back into an album. Preserving the folder-to-album structure during upload would significantly improve organization and save time.

9. Show Photo Folder in "My Files"

   There needs to be a way to see all photos in a list with at least filenames! I am stuck in the web interface so I don't need the slow thumbnail view I need a list so I can find all the "modified" duplicates and delete them.

   The reason for this is to list all those _modified duplicate photos that drive created so they can be trashed to save space.

10. Separate forums for Docs / Sheets / Photos

    I reviewed all 34(!) pages of Proton Drive suggestions, for possibly making a suggestion on core Proton Drive functionality (user groups)... it is too much preparation before making a suggestion.

    I propose to create 3 new forums, for Docs, Sheets and Photos respectively. There is some amount of duplicate suggestions too.

11. plain text editting

    Proton Docs need the ability to edit simple, plain text files. Ideally, one should be given the option to open text files as text regardless of extension, as long as they are actual plain text files.

    This will give the option to have and be able to edit a bunch of file types that can make proton drive more useful and versatile. For example, one can have a markdown notes folder in proton drive, or even a text-based database, or simply take some simple notes and sync across devices.

    It does not need to have any complex features or even syntax highlighting/rendering stuff, even though it would be nice to eg be able to have syntax highlighting for markdown or json etc. Just being able to edit one's personal, plain text files on the phone or web apps would already be a huge improvement.

13. Delete photos from within albums

16. Google Takeout Import Tool for Proton Drive

    Dear Proton Team,

    I’d like to propose a new feature for Proton Drive: a dedicated Google Takeout Import Tool to streamline the process of importing data from Google Photos exports while correctly respecting the photo/video timeline.

    ---

    🛠️ Issue

    When importing videos from a Google Photos Takeout archive (photos are mostly ok), Proton Drive currently sets the file’s date based on the filesystem timestamp (e.g., when the .mp4 file was downloaded), rather than using the actual creation date stored in the accompanying .json metadata files.

    This leads to incorrect chronological ordering and loss of accurate historical context—especially for older media and large libraries.

    ---

    ✅ Suggested Solution

    Introduce a Google Takeout Import Tool in Proton Drive that:

    • Detects and parses .json metadata files included with Google Photos exports
    • Extracts photoTakenTime or creationTime values
    • Applies the correct created timestamp to the corresponding media file (photo or video)

    This ensures accurate and consistent date metadata across all imported files.

    ---

    📦 Example

    Let’s say I have these two files in my Takeout folder:

    • VID_20170621_122134.mp4
    • VID_20170621_122134.json

    With the json file having the following content:

    {
      "title": "VID_20170621_122134.mp4",
      "creationTime": {
        "timestamp": "1498044094",
        "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
      },
      "photoTakenTime": {
        "timestamp": "1498044094",
        "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
      }
    }
    

    When I upload a video to Proton Drive, it should use the PhotoTakenTime from the accompanying JSON file as the creation date. Without proper handling of these JSON files, the file download date (e.g., July 2, 2025) is used instead—resulting in an inaccurate and cluttered timeline. This mainly affects videos, as photos generally retain metadata better. A dedicated import tool is especially important for users migrating years of content from Google Photos.

    ---

    🎯 Benefit

    Adding this import tool would:

    • Preserve the original timeline of a user's photo/video history
    • Improve sorting and searching by date
    • Offer a smoother transition for users migrating from Google services

    ---

    Thanks for your continued focus on privacy and usability. I hope this feature can be considered for a future update so I can fully switch my Google Photo library to Proton Drive.

17. Share Proton Photos Album link for collaboration without requiring Proton account

    As a user, I want to be able to create a public link to edit or view a photos album so that my friends and I can have a common album where they can share and view photos.
    Some of them won't create a proton account, thus we are currently forced to use google photos now.

18. Missing Core Spreadsheet Feature: Internal Sheet-to-Sheet Hyperlinks

    Proton Sheets is currently missing a basic, foundational spreadsheet feature that has existed in Excel and Google Sheets for well over a decade: internal hyperlinks between sheets in the same spreadsheet.

    Right now, it is not possible to create a clickable link in one sheet that navigates to another sheet within the same file.

    Let me be absolutely clear about why this is a serious problem:

    I routinely work with large, complex spreadsheets containing dozens to hundreds of sheets. These are not “toy” spreadsheets. They are operational frameworks, logs, dashboards, and documentation systems that must live inside a single file.

    In every competent spreadsheet environment (Excel, Google Sheets), this is solved with:

    Sheet-to-sheet hyperlinks

    Clickable navigation menus

    Index / contents sheets that actually work

    In Proton Sheets:

    You cannot right-click a cell and link to another sheet

    You cannot create an internal anchor link

    You cannot build a navigable index

    You are forced to scroll horizontally through endless sheet tabs like it’s 2003

    That is not a workaround. That is a product failure.

    Suggesting that users “just click the tabs at the bottom” is not realistic once a spreadsheet scales beyond a handful of sheets. When you are dealing with 50, 100, or 200 sheets, manual tab-hunting is slow, error-prone, and frankly absurd.

    This feature is:

    Not advanced

    Not niche

    Not optional

    It is table-stakes spreadsheet functionality.

    The fact that Proton Sheets shipped without internal sheet hyperlinks strongly suggests it was designed for very small, very simple spreadsheets, not real-world operational use. That puts it far behind Google Sheets and Excel in practical terms, regardless of privacy advantages.

    Feature request (non-negotiable):

    Ability to create hyperlinks that navigate to another sheet within the same spreadsheet

    Ideally with support for targeting a specific cell (e.g. SheetX!A1)

    UI support via right-click “Insert link” or formula-based linking

    Until this exists, Proton Sheets is not viable for serious spreadsheet users running large, multi-sheet systems.

    I want to use Proton’s ecosystem. I am actively trying to move away from Google. But missing fundamentals like this make that impossible.

    Please prioritise this. It should have been there from day one.

20. Allow users to manually reorder photo albums

    Please add the option to manually reorder photo albums in Proton Drive.

    At the moment, albums appear in a fixed order, but users should be able to arrange them freely by dragging and dropping them. This would make it easier to organize the album gallery according to personal preferences, projects, dates or themes.

    It would also be helpful if the custom order were preserved across devices.
