Syncing photos on Android-devices with folder structure included
When syncing photos on Android-devices, I need to have the same folder structure online in Proton Drive. Up to now, all photos are mixed without folders, only structured by time. So years of collecting in folders are senseless for Proton Drive. Please change this.

Add Atkinson Hyperlegible fonts to Proton Drive apps for better accessibility
While the font selections are currently lacking, the need for accessible fonts such as the Atkinson Hyperlegible collection or fonts designed for dyslexics is critical. Those with accessibility needs are particularly vulnerable in the current political climate in North America, and accessibility to privacy tools is thus critical.

One Way Sync For Proton Drive Computer Backup
One of the primary reasons people are gravitating to Proton is for redundancy. There should be a way to set “two way sync” or “one way sync” for files and folders. Some files we would just like access to, while knowing we will not accidently move or delete them. I know that the “Trash” holds them for 30 days, but sometimes “fatal” errors can occur where files are totally lost, or corrupted. Additionally, in this vein, a new subsection of PD that functions as a read only computer or folder “backup” could solve this entirely. In conclusion, it would be…

Proton drive shared link for MacOS
I am trying Proton drive app on MacOS 15.6.1, and while opening the file or folder contextual menu on the Proton, I don't see the option to create a share link on any file or folder, it is only possible to do it from the Proton drive web page, but it takes extra time and clicks, will this feature come soon? this is a very used feature and other products have this functionality, onedrive, dropbox..

Simplify folder path structure in Drive on Windows
On Windows, Proton Drive creates a very strange folder structure:
C:\Users\username\Proton Drive\username\My files\
There are empty folders in the path for no reason. Why not just store everything directly inside Proton Drive? It feels unnecessary and cluttered.
Besides being visually messy (it literally bothers my OCD), it also makes accessing files slower and annoying because I have to click through multiple empty folders just to get to my stuff.

GDrive to Proton Drive Server-2-Server file transfer [not just pix]
Hi
I looked and did not see anything regarding this, thus my feature request.
I currently have several GB's of files on my Giggle 😃 Drive account [paid] and would love to be able to permanently move/transfer all those files directly to Proton Drive without downloading them to my laptop first and re-upping them to Proton Drive. A server to server xfer so to speak. I am not familiar with GDrive's API or policies on this so perhaps it's not possible.
If it's not then so be it. Lol.

Proton Docs New Features
Hello Proton Team,
I would like to request several document editing features in Proton Docs that would greatly improve usability and productivity:
Table cell merging and splitting, allowing users to create more complex and structured tables.
Column management tools, including the ability to insert, delete, resize, and adjust table columns more easily.
Page breaks, enabling users to control document layout and separate content across pages.
Section breaks, allowing different formatting, layouts, headers, footers, or page settings within the same document.These features are standard in many document editors and would make Proton Docs a much more capable alternative for professional…

Photo backup should delete photos from the drive when I delete them on my phone.
Instead of just mindlessly uploading every photo I take and calling it a day, it would be very helpful if the folders actually synced and photos I delete from my phone was automatically deleted from the drive, or at least put in a "bin" I can manually empty once in a while.

Selectable language/region formatting in proton docs
It is very annoying that when I edit a proton doc (spreadsheet), all the numbers and dates are using a US format, despite my Proton Drive account being set to Danish language.
Please add the option for the user to select the formatting of dates and numbers that they want to use, regardless of what language their browser/account is using.8 votes -
Open Source Font Library in Proton Docs
Please add support for the open-source font library (Google Fonts) in Proton Docs, but hosted directly on Proton's servers or routed through a zero-tracking CDN like Bunny Fonts.
The current font selection is too bare-bones for professional documents. If Proton hosted these open-source fonts locally, it would fix the typography limitations of Proton Docs without leaking user IP addresses to third parties. This is the main feature holding me back from fully dropping Google Workspace.

Proton Driver (Create or Open Proton Docs/Sheets)
Proton Drive’s zero-access encryption and privacy architecture are outstanding, but the overall user experience around file creation and management needs refinement to match modern cloud workflow standards:
Streamlined File Creation & Standalone Access: Currently, creating or opening a Proton Doc forces the user through the full Proton Docs interface and document listing inside Drive rather than opening a focused, standalone document view directly. In comparison to platforms like Google Drive, where creating a file directly opens a clean editing interface, the current flow feels cumbersome and repetitive.
Native Support for Plain Text (.txt / .md) Files: At present, creating new…2 votes -
Be more specific about the files/folders that are syncing
Currently, on the Proton Drive app for Windows (and maybe for macOS too, I don't know how is it on that side), when using the file sync feature all the app tells you is "synchronizing". it's very vague, and there's not even an option to pause the sync. having it, plus maybe seeing which file is being uploaded and at what speed (just like Drive's web app), would improve the experience by a lot.

cli - support r/w access to data via shareable links
fully support share links as an additional / alternative option to full account login for r/w access to files/folders.
Instead of requiring a full proton account login it should be possible to use as share link (password protected or otherwise) to access nodes via the cli.
This would greatly simplify using the CLI or SDK in headless setups and other tools like rclone and also vastly reduce the threat model in case of compromised keyring, fault in credential handling in the CLI etc.

Add a dry-run flag To the cli
Can you implement a --dry-run feature to the cli? I want to be able to see what will happen if I start a large or complex upload.
It should show both the local files to be transferred and the final path of the uploaded files
