  1. Thumbnail support for modern formats, like WebP, HEIF and HEVC

    Newer smartphones make use of modern formats for storage of photos and videos. These formats include WebP and HEIF for photos and HEVC and WebM for video. Adding thumbnail and metadata support for these formats allows us to make better use of the albums feature, without having to convert these files before storage.

  2. Single click to navigate into folders in the Proton Drive web app

    Ability to navigate into Proton Drive folders in the web app using single-mouse click would be very convenient when navigating a lot of folders back and forth.

  4. 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…

  5. Add Backup Photos solution for Graphene OS

    Add real Folder-level SAF support so that the app can be used for Photo Backup in the background. Now it has to be done fully manually.

  6. Internal Tabs for Single Documents in Proton Docs

    I would like to request the addition of internal tabs within a single Proton Docs document. Currently, most office suites (including Proton Docs) treat each document as a standalone file, which can make managing related content cumbersome.

    Proposed Functionality:

    • Allow users to create and switch between multiple tabs or sections within a single document file.

    • Each tab would contain separate content (e.g., "Instructions," "Main Report," "Sources"), but all would be saved, shared, and version-controlled as one cohesive file.

    • Users should be able to navigate between tabs seamlessly, similar to how G****e Docs allows multiple sheets or sections within a single…

  7. Open or convert Google Docs files

    I moved my Google Docs files to Proton. Currently, those can't be opened in Proton Drive. If that cannot be achieved, it would be nice to lets you convert them. I am also curious if there are current ways to achieve that.

  8. Selecting which cloud-based directories or folders to sync to your local device

    This feature allows you to select which cloud-based directories to sync to your local device. This is great for shared/office devices, as it allows you to only access specific cloud-based folders on your local device. This prevents someone from seeing the entire contents of a cloud-based directory or folder (OneDrive has this feature).

  10. 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.

  11. Allow adding photos from Proton Drive to Albums in the web interface

    Currently, there's no way to add photos that are already stored in Proton Drive to Photos when using the web interface. The only options are:

    • Use the iOS or Android app
    • Upload directly from your computer to Photos

    Requested feature: Add the ability to browse Proton Drive and select existing photos/videos to add to an album, directly from the web interface.

    Bonus: Ideally, this should work by reference rather than creating a duplicate. Adding a photo from Drive to an album shouldn't consume twice the storage quota.

    Use case:Users who have already uploaded and organized photos in Proton Drive…

  12. sheets

    Allowing editors to lock the sheet (template) so that when shared with collaborators, they cannot change the template but can only make a copy of it for their needs. This is a feature already included with Google sheets (which I want to stop using altogether!).

  13. Album - add photos directly from Android

    Just like it already is in the browser.
    Sometimes backing up is not enough when there are next folders or when photos have been edited.

  15. Arm linux support for proton-bridge

    Currently there are no available builds for running proton-bridge on a ARM device with Linux on it. I'd love to see support for it since now i can't have my mail in 1 application but need to use a seperate web interface for only my proton based mail.

  16. Get memories of previous photos at same date or videos

    It would be nice to have a similar feature than pCloud that shows photos at the same date (day/month) in the previous years or memory videos as iCloud.

  17. Allow direct file sharing within windows file explorer similar to onedrive

    In file explorer it would be nice to have the ability to right click share a file and it generates a proton drive link to share. This should function similar to how it does with OneDrive

  18. True cloud sync akin to Dropbox or OneDrive

    Instead of just allowing machine-specific sync to the cloud, allow for a cloud-storage option which multiple machines can all sync to & from bidirectionally, allowing all computers to have the same set of files. Add one in one machine, it should become available in all machines. Delete one in one machine, it should get deleted everywhere.

    Something similar to Dropbox or OneDrive. Makes managing files much more seamless and easier instead of having to try and find which machine I first synced the file on.

    This will give a true alternative for users to move out of OneDrive/Dropbox and adopt…

  19. add "secret" albums - certain photos are only displayed in these albums, not in the gallery

    Add ability to declare Albums "secret" to hide specific pictures from the general photo gallery ("Photo" tab) and display them only in these specific albums.
    It's the equivalent of Apples "secret album", so one can hide sensitive pictures from the general view - especially if the gallery becomes a shared space.

    Suggestion: when an album is classified as "secret" all pictures in /added to it are automatically removed from the general gallery.

  20. I just want to say THANK YOU. Google started giving me AI overviews of my drive docs without me asking it to. :(

    Just wanted to express my gratitude here for actually giving a **** about my privacy. I have post-op photos I don't really want AI trained on! I don't want to feed my digital life into an advertising machine! So THANK you for being here and I'm happy to give you money for control over my digital existence.
