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.

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.

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…

Sync existing macOS folders
I miss the option to sync a folder that is not the default Proton Drive location in macOS. I think this is available in the Windows app.
Right now if I want to sync files with Proton Drive I need to copy them to the Proton Drive location in Finder.332 votes -
Navigator / ToC sidebar for Proton Docs
I heavily use Proton Docs.
However, when a document gets larger, navigation within the document is a real pain.
My request: add a sidebar or something similar that is structured by headings and allows quick navigation within a document (similar to Navigator in Word like a ToC).5 votes -

Option to "open with..."
Being dependent on Google Docs and Sheets, I would love to use Proton Drive to backup everything but then I'd need the option to open files that Proton Drive cannot open with another app - thus "open with..." Google Drive, etc.

Make it easy to browse photos that are stored only in the cloud
I can easily use Dropbox to browse photos that I've stored in the cloud. As soon as I tap on any item in a given list of images, Dropbox automatically generates a low-resolution version of that photo and serves it up to me in a preview window that is located right next to the list of images. Dropbox probably automatically starts generating previews in the background for whatever image folder I'm currently viewing, because I can quickly browse my entire photo collection just by swiping left or right in that preview window.
The web interface (but not the Apple mobile…

Add Simple Diagram Feature in Proton Docs
Hi Proton team,
It would be great to have a simple built-in diagram feature in Proton Docs — something lightweight to create quick flowcharts or concept maps directly in a document. Nothing complex, just basic shapes and connections to visualize ideas easily without leaving the editor.
And if you ever need someone to build it, I’m available! 😄
Thanks for considering it!

Better way for bulk uploading/downloading
It is currently very challenging to upload large amounts of data into Proton Drive. I have some data that I want to back up into the cloud, which currently sits on an external drive. The Proton Drive desktop app will not accept the folders on the external drive for backup (presumably because it is not an internal drive), and uploading via the web interface is extremely unreliable unless you manually do it in small chunks, which is tedious.
Would it be possible to add a function to the desktop app to copy large amounts of data into Proton Drive or…

First Line Indent in Docs
There's an option to indent an entire paragraph, but there also needs to be an option to indent only the first line and specify the measurement of the indent. Hitting tab is not sufficient, since tab isn't always the correct measurement when you have to meet specific formatting requirements.
Even if tab were consistent, a first line indent option would really speed up the process.

Find and replace

Archive photos on the Library function of Proton Drive
Is a killer feature for my use case and it's the possibility of selecting a photo and send it to a separate album called Archive that hides it from my photos timeline to keep private when I'm sharing my gallery to others.
I could access the Archive with a separate password or also just reusing FaceID or any other authentication method.

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.

Bookmarks on phones
Proton should add the ability to bookmark specific folders on Android and iOS devices, similar to the Quick Access feature on Windows. This would allow users to navigate to folders faster and jump between them with ease.
