1. Delete photos from within albums

   Currently, there is no way to delete a photo completely from within an album, you have to hunt the photo down in "all" to delete it. Would be nice if we didn't have to do this :)

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Sync any folder across multiple computers, keeping it where it already is

   Proton Drive already lets me pick any folder on my PC ("My computer" > Add folders), but that folder stays tied to that one PC. On my other computers it only shows up under Proton Drive > Other computers > [PC name], always at that fixed location, and the PC that added it stays its only owner. The only area shared equally by all computers is My files, so real multi-PC sync means moving my whole folder structure into it, which breaks paths, shortcuts and apps.

   Proposal: folder pairs on every computer
   1. On any computer, link any local folder (any drive, any path) to a folder in Proton Drive, as today.
   2. On another computer, link that same Drive folder to a local folder of my choice, at the same or a different path. If the local folder already holds the same files, compare and reconnect instead of re-uploading or creating a duplicate.
   3. Changes made on any linked computer, on the web or on mobile sync both ways everywhere.
   4. Per computer and per folder, choose how it's kept: full local copy, on-demand (downloaded when opened), or not synced (still available on web and mobile).
   5. Let me turn a folder I already see under Other computers into a linked folder at a path I choose.

   Why it matters
   - Real folder structures aren't flat: important folders live on different drives, and many apps, scripts and projects depend on fixed paths.
   - Junctions and symbolic links aren't a real fix: they get in the way of Windows search, Quick Access and some apps.
   - Adding the same folder separately on two PCs creates two independent copies in the cloud: double the storage and no sync between them.
   - MEGA, pCloud and the Nextcloud desktop client already let you pair a local folder of your choice with a cloud folder on each computer.

   The Windows app already maps other computers' folders on demand under Other computers, so much of the plumbing seems to be there: letting users choose the local path and sync mode of those folders would solve this.

   For anyone with more than one PC, this is the missing piece to move everything to Proton Drive and actually use the storage we pay for.

5. Integration with Obsidian

   It would be great to use Proton Drive as source for Obsidian Vaults in all supported operating systems. You may access Obsidian vaults in macOS, but with iOS/ipadOS it is not poosible to access vaults on Proton Drive.

7. Proton Sheets full page print

8. Proton music

   Just like you have a section for your Proton photos, you should have a section for your Proton music, because most of us have to listen to our downloaded music from YouTube Music, Dizer and Sportifay. To avoid this and to maintain folder optimization, most of us need Proton music.

9. Proton Drive App (Android,...): Search function for file names

   Please add a search button in the Proton Drive file view. For example I have a document repository stored on Proton Drive with a folder "invoices" with 765 elements where I would like to be able to search for "fridge" to see how old my current fridge ist. Or search for "paint" to find out which product I exactly used to paint my home.

11. Allow Proton Photos to index photos stored in Drive folders

    Problem: I currently manage my large photo archive in folders, grouped per year, so I am not depending on one photo library (like Apple Photo's).

    Wish: Let Proton Dive index photo's from such folders, so users can use both the folder structure as well as the Photo gallery. Allow users to mark one or more Drive folders as "Photo folders". Proton Photos should automatically index the supported media files inside those folders while preserving the original folder structure.

    Currently, it looks like photo's uploaded in folders to Drive, are considered as 'files' and not indexed as 'photo's'.

    Result: More flexibility for users who are migrating from Apple Photo's or Google Photo's. Many users wish to store photo's privacy secured, but with a similar advanced photo gallery like Apple of Google.

    This would attract more (new) users moving their photo's to Proton with subsequent more (paid) users for Proton.

    It is currently my main road block from fully use Proton.

12. 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.

14. Mobile app photos should be viewable in the proton drive desktop app

    Currently the only way to see files backed up from a mobile app is to open up the proton drive web app. This is incredibly cumbersome and there should be a section in the proton drive desktop app where we can access those photos.

19. Basic and Advanced Word Processing Functionality, rulers, formatting, menu bar, etc.

    The word processor is a cornerstone to any productivity or office suite of apps. Please add basic features like rulers, standardized consistent tab settings, paragraph/line spacing/other formatting features, ability to visualize formatting characters (eg: paragraph, indent, etc...) menu bar with functions that have been around for decades, etc.. Just look at Word Processor functions that have been around for decades and implement them in a standardized yet functionally designed way. (do not copy google docs, that is a horrible example)

    This is a place Proton can excel and even take over market share as a collaborative document app because Google docs is such a weak app lacking basic features. The UI can be designed in a way not to overwhelm basic users yet allow knowledgeable users to make use of important basic word processing tools.
