Analyze / Sort Files by Size in Proton Drive
Dear Proton Team,
I would like to request a feature that allows users to sort and filter files by size across the entire Proton Drive, not just within individual folders. Currently, it is not possible to view the size of folders or to search for large files efficiently across all folders. This feature would greatly improve the user experience by making it easier to manage storage and identify large files quickly.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards, Sebastian

Delete original backup if organized into an album
I'm wondering if it would be feasible to add a feature into proton drive, where the original videos and photos get backed up if its possible to delete it after that same photo or video gets moved into an album as I imagine for most people it would be easier to search through named albums vs a random collection of pics and videos put together.
TL;DR - Photo/video gets backed up>Move photo/video to album>Delete original photo/video (without deleting the one in the album). Saves space and keeps things clean and organized

Hiding photo albums
Allow for photo albums to be hidden, sorted, and their contents also hidden. I've got a lot of work photos in my proton drive, but I don't care browsing past all of them when I'm looking for pictures of my actual life. If I could hide them in albums, but still on hand, that would be great.

Proton Codes
Hi, could you add a separate code section to my files, like Proton Photos? Finding the code I've written in my files is really difficult and time-consuming. To avoid this, I'd like a section that only displays the code, similar to Proton Photos. This would be a good alternative to GitHub or GitLab. I'd love for ProtonDrive to be the world's first cloud storage app to support programming languages. I'd also like for the code to be displayed with a progress bar showing the usage rate for each language, just like GitHub. Trust me, Proton users will love Proton Codes…

Add Recycle bin in Proton Drive app
Adding a Recycle bin shortcut in the Proton Drive app would be great, and would avoid to have to go on web version to manually empty the recycle.

Shortcut Items (symbolic link or hard link) for Proton Drive
I'm using Google Drive along with Proton Drive and find Proton Drive missing a feature that I think is useful.
Google Drive has a feature called 'Create shortcut', it seems creating a symbolic link (not hard link) to another location.
The problem is when organizing my data, sometimes I see that some items should be at different locations and they're the same things.

Non-Pageless Design for Proton Docs
I really want to switch from Google to Proton for everything, as I am concerned about the surveillance of the modern tech era and would like to be more privacy-driven. Unfortunately, I can’t use Proton Docs for very much, though, because the professional writing features are severely limited. Personally, my priority would be adding Page Breaks to Proton Docs. This is for a few reasons:
1) It would help students/professionals who have page requirements in their work, or anyone who wants to know how much they’ve written
2) It would show a clear separation between distinct ideas, chapters, etc.

Upload selection of photos to Drive Photos (iOS)
In the Drive iOS app, I can only sync my entire photos library with Proton Drive Photos. I would like to be able to upload selected photos instead.
In the upper right corner of the web app, there’s the ”+ upload photos” link. But this is not there in the iOS app. The workaround for now is to exit the iOS app and upload photos via web.

Warn/prohibit use of filenames incompatible with filesystems commonly used on Windows, macOS, Linux.
Currently Proton drive does not warn when files saved, e.g. in macOS, have filenames incompatible with Windows filesystems. It would be greatly appreciated if a user was warned before the conflict arise when trying to check synchronisation in a different OS.

Link sharing: Add "Request Access" Approval for Shared Links (Google Drive-style)
Please add a "Request Access / Manual Approval" option for shared links in Proton Drive.
How it should work:
When someone clicks a shared link, they cannot immediately access the file / folder.
Instead, they see a button like "Request Access."
The owner receives a notification and can approve or deny each request, tied to the requester's email address.Why this matters:
Prevents link leaks. Even if the URL is forwarded, only approved people get access.
Gives owners more granular control, without relying only on passwords or expiry dates.
Matches a feature users are already familiar with from Google Drive,…5 votes -

Implement Preview for Excel and PowerPoint
A preview function for Excel and PowerPoint documents would be very helpful for Drive Online users. Often a glance at the file, e.g. work schedule, would be sufficient and no download/editing is necessary.

Some way to know my work on a doc is saved
I need to know that my changes have been saved before I close out of a document. Like neat little blue or green checkmark in a corner next to the word "Saved". Thanks.

Local cache
Other cloud providers have a local cache that you can set the size of, that just retains your most recently opened files so you're not having to re-download them every time you open them. I realise you can set specific files or folders to be available locally, but it's a pain having to do this when you have lots of different files (drawing files is what I'm thinking of) with large (GB) attachments. With a cache they're just available while actively working with them, and then they eventually get pushed back off the local drive when you're no longer opening…

photo album sharing
Share photo albums via link with non-Proton users.
This feature exists for Proton drive files, which is why I still need to use proton folders to share photos with friends who are not on Proton Drive.
The whole idea of photo albums is to share them. That this feature is omitted is a deal-breaker for my adoption of photo albums.
