Delay photo backup
I often take multiple photos or I take throw-away photos because my chat apps builtin camera is garbage.
They are then instantly backed up, which means I have to delete them from local storage and then from the Drive.It would be really useful if you could set a delay before a photo is uploaded, or if you could set a specific time at which photos are uploaded.

Add on-device OCR to Proton Drive document scanning for searchable PDFs
Proton Drive offers document scanning, but the resulting PDFs are image-only without embedded text. This makes scanned documents (leases, medical records, IDs, receipts) unsearchable and inaccessible via text selection or Proton Drive's search functionality.
Why This Matters
Users need to find specific content across their document archive without manual review of each file. Without OCR, workflows like locating a lease clause, extracting an address from an ID, or finding a prescription date require opening and reading each scanned document individually.
Proposed Solution
Add on-device OCR capability to Proton Drive's document scanner that:
1. Processes scanned pages locally using zero-access encryption…2 votes -
Proton Photos - Web - "Add to album" stays visible when selecting photos in an album
It is common for photos to appear in several albums at once. For instance I have individual albums for my nieces and my cats, and photos commonly feature several of these people in the same photo.
When I select photos in the main "Photos" tab, I get an "Add to album" button.
When I select photos within an album, the same button does not appear. I only have the options to download or remove from the current album.
I would like the "Add to album" button to appear when photos are selected in an album. This would also help with…

Photo backup available in Windows explorer
Photos that are backed up to the cloud should be available as all the other folders in windows explorer. I want to organize them and in the web browser interface, you can't drag and drop. Using the web interface make large amounts to organizing into folders very time consuming. Please make the photo folder available in windows explorer so the images can be moves easily.

File request
No, Proton Drive does not currently support a native, blind "File Request" feature like the ones found in Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive.
While you can generate public links that allow outside users to upload files, Proton’s current setup behaves like a shared folder rather than a secure submission drop box.
The Current Workaround (and its Limitations)
You can technically receive files from non-Proton users by doing the following:
Create a new, empty folder in your Proton Drive.
Generate a shareable link and set the permissions to "Anyone with the link can edit."
The Problem: Because this grants "edit" permissions…5 votes -

Add a button to download all photos from the photos section of Proton Drive
In the photos section of the web interface, I see no option to download all the photos. When I select photos, I can download the selection and I can even select by months, but not by years and there is no select all button. Selecting many years of photos by months to download all of them is very tedious. It would be helpful to add a select all button or a download all button. Also, it would be great if photos could somehow be synced into the Proton Drive folder via the PC app.

Open and edit files directly in the mobile app (Android)
Unfortunately, the Proton Drive Android app is pretty useless.
It's essential that you can also edit files with it.
When a file is opened (e.g., DOCX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, etc.), a suitable installed app should open to view and edit the file. When a change is saved, it should then be synchronized with Drive.This is how Google Drive and Nextcloud do it. I'm actually shocked that this doesn't work with ProtonDrive.

Add autocomplete to proton drive CLI
Would be nice if you could autocomplete commands and file paths by pressing tab.
The feature should be available on common shells such as bash, zsh, and fish.

Team drive
We are using proton drive for work. Both for documents, but it also works as a kind of sharepoint/team drive. It would be really helpful to have a better teams function for the drive. At the moment we have a shared folder, but it is still only the "owner" that fully controls it. Furthermore, since I am not the owner, I am not able to access the folder through proton drive cloud on my computer. I can only access my own folders, not those shared with me. Since I am working on my personal computer, and not allowed to store…

Feature: allow for password protected folders and photo albums
Many different services offer password protected folders, I think this could be a great addition for password protected folders and albums.

Writing @today in Proton Docs automatically includes today's date or a date picker.
I propose a feature where writing @today automatically includes today's date. The date can then be selected and show a calendar to change dates.
This feature helps speed up daily standup date inclusions in a doc to organize our meeting notes.
This feature already exists for example in Google Docs and is a great time saver.

Add "copy link" feature to any file or folder without forcing the owner to share with others or set additional password
One great feature of Google Drive is the ability of copy a link to a file or folder, even if the owner doesnt share it to anyone.
This is particularly helpful when the owner needs to reference a specific file/folder in a (for instance) trello card, or documentation for his own use.
Force the user to add an additional password or, worse, share with others so it can get a link adds unnecessary complexity and security risks, in this use case.2 votes -
Proton Sheets MCP / API
I’d love MCP/API access for Proton Sheets so ChatGPT, Claude, and eventually Lumo can make direct, fast changes to spreadsheets.
I’m increasingly moving back to Excel simply because AI tools can work with it much more effectively. Computer use in Proton Sheets is significantly slower and becomes impractical for larger transformations compared with simply uploading an Excel file to ChatGPT, Claude, or Lumo.
Direct MCP/API access would make Proton Sheets much more competitive for AI-assisted workflows.

Feature Request - Per-Service Storage Usage Breakdown
Dear Proton Team,
It would be very helpful to have a visual breakdown showing how much storage each service uses individually (Mail, Drive, Calendar, etc.) within the total account quota. Currently, we only see the combined usage, which makes it harder to identify where space is being consumed.
Thank you for considering this improvement!
Best regards,

Proton Sheets: Add "Split text to columns" feature
Proton Sheets is missing a core spreadsheet feature found in Excel and Google Sheets: the ability to split text in a cell into multiple columns using a delimiter (comma, space, tab, custom character).
In Google Sheets this is implemented as:

Allow Photos in Proton Drive to have their date overwritten
Reason for this is Proton Drive sometimes gets the dates wrong from correctly dated photos. If like in google photos, we can overwrite the date if can fix the sorting of your images
