  1. Add "private link" to (sharing) Drive Document/Folder

    I'd like to be able to use "private links" to my documents in other tools. For example, Zotero is a tool to manage scientific reading material. I currently use Google Docs to store my documents and add a private link to them in my Zotero library entries. (IT is important for it to be a private link, considering that some libraries are shared or public, but I don't want to get in trouble with sharing links to copyrighted material.)

  2. rclone for photos

    Expose the "Photos" location to rclone. Perhaps allow the user to specify a custom folder name to synchronize photos to. Then rclone could be used to simply sync that specific folder.

  3. Locked Folders/Files

    I use proton drive to hold all of my Keys(Recovery, ssh, ect) just in case I get hacked I want to put a password on my "Keys" folder. Also I feel like everyone could benefit from this.

  4. Do not modify video files when uploading to/from Proton Drive from iPhone

    Situation:
    1. Open Proton Drive on my iPhone 15 and let it upload my camera album (both photo's and videos).
    2. Open drive.proton.me in a browser and download all uploaded photo's and video's to my Windows pc.
    3. Extract the archive.
    4. Some of the videos have "_modified" added to the file name. This means that Proton Drive had modified them somewhere in the process, what I don't like. I want the original files for the best possible quality.

    There seem to be different scenarios:
    1. Slowmotion video's are downloaded twice: once in the original version (eg. IMG1234.MOV) and…

  5. Mac OS: Password protection on desktop app

    For the Mac OS app: This idea has been mentioned before, but I'd like to reiterate it with an addition. It would be really useful to have the ability to protect the drive as available on iPadOS and Android. I don't understand why this option wouldn't be equally important on computers. In fact, it's essential for me when working in public places with my laptop. I'd like to see the same feature on Macs, plus the added option of using Touch ID (available on most modern Mac models).

  6. Customizable Storage Quota Thresholds

    It'd really cool to be able to set your own storage quota capacity used thresholds at an account level to dictate what is "warning" or critical" so everyone could decide the color coding of storage usage based on their own workflows. Currently, everything except the windows protondrive app show 3TB of 6TB (50% usage) as orange. A couple slide bars for warning/critical levels would be much more helpful.

  7. mail

    When composing an email on the ProtonMail app via mobile, attaching a file directly from ProtonDrive is currently not possible.

    Instead, I have to first access ProtonDrive, download the file, and then attach it to the email.

    Would it be possible to integrate these two apps to allow direct file attachment from ProtonDrive without the need for downloading?

  8. Excell proton Drive

    Again, as with Proton Calendar and Proton Drive, the more similar the Google environment is, the better the theme will be. In addition, we will gain in privacy, which is what we all want, and that is why we are committed to this project, even if it sometimes entails a sacrifice, in terms of time and fluidity of the applications. We must assume that normally many people work in a Google environment for a long time, and we want the environment to be similar or better than what we use. Faced with something like this, I am willing to pay…

  9. Easier "Guest" Master File Sharing with "Guest" Upload Capability

    Currently, I am on a Proton Duo subscription. I use Proton Drive to share files in a safe manner with a select email address as a "Guest." The sharing of the main "file" or "folder" does not enable the "Guest" to view or access the "sub-folders" with enclosed "documents." At this point in time, I must share every "sub-folder" and every enclosed "document" with the "Guest." Is there an ability to change this laborious task into an easy to share feature?

  11. Accessing ProtonDrive through DuckDuckGo (bugfix)

    [suspected bug] Downloads from PD through DuckDuckGo could not be located anywhere on my Galaxy device. Reported to support, who recommended I try another browser. Indeed: no such problem with Chrome. But may still be worth looking into.

  12. Unlimited Storage

    I would like to see Unlimited Storage tier similar to Google Workspaces and Dropbox. It's one of the two blockers that prevent me from switching to Proton.

    The way Google and Dropbox implemented it is they don't just give unlimited storage up front but require users request increase when they approach their current storage limits. This works well to prevent abuse of the system, but it gives users who have a legitimate need for extensive and steadily but slowly growing data have a peace of mind that they will not face a situation where they are capped by an artificial…

  13. Online-Only Files

    Dear Proton Drive Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to suggest a couple of features that I believe would greatly enhance the functionality of Proton Drive.

    Online-Only Files: On macOS with Dropbox, there is an option to right-click on a file and select "Online Only," which removes the file from the local disk and only keeps a reference with zero bytes. This feature helps save disk space. I would like to request a similar functionality in Proton Drive if its possible.

    Desktop and Folder Sync: Additionally, I am interested in syncing my desktop and specific…

  17. Allow user to manually clear sync errors

    It would be great if there was a way to manually clear sync errors in Proton Drive on OSX. Like if I don't need/want Proton Drive to automatically retry a sync, say, if I've removed the file.

  20. Improve drive sync algorithm to greatly improve performance

    Proton Drive is extremely slow to upload my files, it's going at around ~200 Kbps, whereas speedtest.net shows I can do 3.62 Mbps upload.

    This is especially noticeable when there is a large number of small files to sync (eg, photo collection).

    I suspect that a potential cause is that new threads might be created to upload each individual file, resulting in the unnecessary opening and closing of many connections. Perhaps a better solution would be for each upload thread to establish a continuous connection and then pipe multiple files through that connection as raw data, which can be split…
