  2. Support older macOS versions

    Currently, the Proton Drive app for Mac is only compatible with version 13 of macOS (Ventura). However, many Mac users operate older versions and may be unable to upgrade due to hardware constraints (older Macs). From an environmental standpoint, it should be able to keep one's computer for as long as it works, and not be forced to trade up just to be able to access a new feature...

  3. Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage

    In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.

    This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.

    My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…

  4. Move photos from photos tab to other folders

    Hi, thanks for making Drive available for Linux. I use Fedora 39 KDE.
    I also use Photo backup via Android (Samsung S23)
    When I open all my files/photos in Linux web browesr, if I right click images, I can move to respective folders. As well as preview, move,rename, get link & delete.
    If I open the folder that uploads Photos, via Android, this option is not available. Only download, upload or delete.
    Perhaps this is a feature in the making?

  5. Export all Drive data

    Please provide a feature like "Take Out" from Google, I constantly make backups of all my data to an offline drive, downloading everything manually is really time consuming.

  6. Offline editing support for Documents in Proton Drive

    Just like Google Docs supports offline mode, please make it possible for me to edit Documents in Proton Drive even when I'm offline or when I have very limited Internet connection.

  7. Synchronize deleting Photos

    When deleting a photo from your gallery, it should be removed from Proton Drive Photos as well, and vice versa. It is really inconvenient having to go to both apps to delete photos you've taken. It should still also be possible to free up space on your phone by deleting local copies, maybe through the Drive app.

  9. Directly edit markdown files as Docs

    I love the new Doc support in Drive. However, I don't like that opening a markdown file creates a new Doc file. (For example, helloworld.md when opened in Docs creates a new file called helloworld, which results in me having two copies to maintain of the same file).

    I think a simple solution could be to allow an option for "Edit as Markdown in Docs" or something.

  10. Allow upload photos without WiFi

    Currently the app requires WiFi to upload photos. For those of us with unlimited cellular data it would be nice to upload using this.

  11. Show desktop folders on mobile app

    I'm using the beta Windows sync client and it works well to be able to sync my folders up to the Proton Drive webapp. However, while the sync client allows you to sync any folders on your machine, no folders outside of the ProtonDrive folder on the computer are showing up on the mobile app. On the web all of the folders that sit outside of the Proton Drive main folder show up under a "Computers" navigation. For those of us that have multiple folders across multiple drives can you enable the ability to see "computers" in the mobile app?

  12. Edit file metadata (including photos)

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  13. Require 2FA and password before accessing Proton Drive in Windows Explorer

    I would like the addition of an option in the Settings menu.

    If this option is checked, data 'at rest' in the Proton Drive is encrypted and unusable in a Windows computer by default, on each startup. Only after entering the Proton password and 2FA does the Proton app unlock, decrypt all files and make read/write possible.

    To clarify, it could still sync files while in 'encrypted' mode from the cloud to on-premise, but always encrypted first. And usable upon unlock.

    Then when the user actually wants to do something, they can enter credentials and decrypt their Proton Drive. Kind…

  14. Change or hide username and default email address in email sent inform about shared folders or files

    With the new sharing feature (web-version), an email is sent automatically to the recipients displaying the sender's standard username and email address. Let the user change the sender address and username (even aliases) or suppress the automatic email and send an individual email manually instead. The username and standard email address might confuse the recipient and breach the individual privacy policy of the sender.

  16. Sync with QNAP NAS

    What I miss the most on Proton Drive is ability to Sync folders with QNAP NAS. It would be awesome to have Proton Drive as a secure cloud backup storage.

  17. View and edit docs without an account

    It would be cool if anyone with a shareable link could view and edit the document, similar to google docs for example.

    This would greatly lower the barrier for me to use it regularly, as I could share it when planning events or doing a group project with people that don't have proton accounts.

    I genuinely believe docs is a way better experience to use for most things I would usually use word/google/etc. for, and this would allow even more people to get familiar with it.

  19. Being able to directly share a document link to collaborate in one document without needing a Proton Drive Account.

    The new Proton Docs Feature just came out.
    I wanted to use it, but i can't share the document so, that friends can collaborate. They don't all have a proton account.
    That's why the sharing feature with the E-Mails doesn’t help a lot.
    Normally you can just create a link to each document, so that others can edit it.
    But at the moment this isn’t possible.
    It’s a quite standard feature I personally would expect from a drive with documents.

    One Option i tried is creating a sharable link in Proton Drive with a folder. In that Folder i got…
