  1. Warn/prohibit use of filenames incompatible with filesystems commonly used on Windows, macOS, Linux.

    Currently Proton drive does not warn when files saved, e.g. in macOS, have filenames incompatible with Windows filesystems. It would be greatly appreciated if a user was warned before the conflict arise when trying to check synchronisation in a different OS.

  2. Allow more than 10.000 photos/videos per album

    Proton Drive apparently has a limit on the number of photos/videos you can add to an album. I tried on the web app and on the Android app: it will ont allow me to put more than 10.000 photos in one album. When I try to add a photo on Android, I get an red popup error message saying "Failed"; on the web app, the same red popup error message says something like ""some pictures could not be added".

    This seems like a server-side bug to me, and should be easy to fix (?). Please allow unlimited photos/videos per album.…

  3. Citation Managers in Proton Docs

    Along with improvements to things like line spacing and line numbering pointed out by other users, an essential feature for academic purposes is the ability to use reference managers like Zotero, Mendeley, etc.

  4. EPUB - Reader in app and on web

    Epub files can be uploaded to proton drive, but not read directly in the app or on web as a PDF file can. I have collection of Epub and pdf books that would be great to read directly on proton. When read I will move from Dropbox

  6. Quick Delete Button on Image View

    When I click on Photos to view pictures, I click on a picture to see it in more detail. Then, the picture enlarges and a few options appear in the top right corner. However, I miss the delete button. Now, instead, I have to return to the "All Images" view, select the picture, and delete it there. It's just a quick option.

  7. show upload date and time of files in shared folders

    It seems that this hasn't been requested before. I share files via Proton Drive. Some of those files must be updated regularly. It'd be so much easier for people to figure out whether the files they're getting are up-to-date if they could just see it in the shared folder page. Please consider adding this feature in a future version of Proton Drive, thank you so much!

  8. Option to "open with..."

    Being dependent on Google Docs and Sheets, I would love to use Proton Drive to backup everything but then I'd need the option to open files that Proton Drive cannot open with another app - thus "open with..." Google Drive, etc.

  9. Support More Video File Formats in Proton Drive

    Currently, Proton Drive has limited support for video file playback, requiring users to download external players like VLC to view certain formats such as .MOD files. Expanding Proton Drive’s built-in video player to support a wider range of formats would improve usability and convenience, reducing the need for third-party software.

  10. Shared with me Folder on Mobile app (iOS/Android)

    There's no Shared with me folder on the iOS app, if it's on Web it should be on the mobile app too.

    It would be great to have it as well in the Finder on Mac, for now it just shows my own files but not the ones shared with me

  12. Share Photos Album with public link

    I want to be able to share a Photos Album with a public link, just like how you can share a Drive folder with a public link. Currently, you can only share a Photos Album with existing Proton users - I want to create a public 'view only' link for anyone to veiw, browse and download my album.

  13. Pictures in Drive show on Photos

    We can upload picture files to the drive and organise them according to our needs with Folders... BUT, we cannot see those pictures in the Photos tab?!

    It would be great to see the Photo's tab include all photos whether in the 'My Files' section or uploaded onto 'Photos'. That being said, a 'Photos' folder in 'My Files' would be a better solution to letting us create Folders/Albums and also see all the pictures in the same place.

  14. Folder Controls

    Hiya Proton Team!
    Folders are the crux of everything we do on Drive. From organising our cherished memories, separating the important from the miscellaneous, to categorising documents. I think Folders in Drive need a facelift to help make them even more useful for users.

    1. Favourite/Star Folders - Star any folder or subfolder to add it straight to the homepage for quick access
    2. Pin to Top - Pin any subfolder to the top of its parent folder regardless of usual order, with the usual resuming when there are more than one pinned folder
    3. Colours/Icons - Allow users to choose any picture…

  16. Option to keep a local copy of synced Proton Drive files on computer ("file mirroring" rather than "file streaming")

    On MacOS, Proton Drive 'streams' files: there is no local copy, but files can be searched and downloaded on request.

    With 'mirroring', there is also a local copy on your hard drive. This is for instance useful for:

    • Backing up Proton Drive files locally
    • Accessing files if there's no internet connection

    Google Drive offers you to choose between 'streaming' and 'mirroring' for every folder in your Drive. That would help getting the best of both worlds.

  18. Sort photos by reverse capture time and file name

    Please:

    1. Change default sorting of Photos from oldest to newest, as in photos you want to tell a story from the beginning of a trip (oldest) to end of the trip (newest)
    2. Allow us to sort by file name, as professionally exported photos are often not in the order they were shot, but according to themes. They are then named sequentially.

  19. Proton Drive Music Client

    Basically, a music client that allows me to store my offline music and play it with ease. I haven't found a good solution on iOS but the closet project I can compare this to is like Mega Cloud storage and the MPlayer (for music).

    I would never pay for a music streaming service ever again if this was available!
