1. photo location

   Support location metadata for photo: show it in details and make it possible to correct coordinates or location. It should also be good to have automatic albums based on location.

2. plain text editting

   Proton Docs need the ability to edit simple, plain text files. Ideally, one should be given the option to open text files as text regardless of extension, as long as they are actual plain text files.

   This will give the option to have and be able to edit a bunch of file types that can make proton drive more useful and versatile. For example, one can have a markdown notes folder in proton drive, or even a text-based database, or simply take some simple notes and sync across devices.

   It does not need to have any complex features or even syntax highlighting/rendering stuff, even though it would be nice to eg be able to have syntax highlighting for markdown or json etc. Just being able to edit one's personal, plain text files on the phone or web apps would already be a huge improvement.

3. Tags or labels for files and folders

   I would love to have the ability to better organize my files in Proton Drive by using labels or tags, independently from folders.
   For example, being able to tag a file as both “Project A” and “Budget” would make it much easier to find and group related items across different folders.

   This feature already exists in Proton Mail and works wonderfully for organizing emails by topic or context — it makes daily use much more efficient.
   Having a similar labeling system in Proton Drive would greatly enhance productivity, search, and overall organization, especially for users managing multiple projects or shared files.

   In short, tags would bring flexibility that traditional folder structures can’t provide, while staying true to Proton’s privacy-first philosophy.

4. Proton Docs: Increase File Size Limit

   I have some documents with a lot of images that I'd like to migrate to Proton Docs, and they far exceed the current limit. It'd be nice if the size of the docs could be only limited by how much Proton Drive storage I have left (which is hundreds of GB), instead of 25 MB per doc.

7. Open/edit md/docx/odt files in Proton Drive without creating a separate Proton Docs file

   As above, it seems strange that you can open files in Proton Docs, but a new file is created (pdoc) instead of amending the original file. Google drive allows for editing of docx and excel files from the drive without creating a separate doc. Clearly outline in your documentation that a new file is created to avoid confusion. This would also help in the future with integration of proton drive clients and seamless integration with file managers like on windows. I can amend files on pdrive on my windows machine but i cannot do so on my phone or using the drive online.

8. Google Takeout Import Tool for Proton Drive

   Dear Proton Team,

   I’d like to propose a new feature for Proton Drive: a dedicated Google Takeout Import Tool to streamline the process of importing data from Google Photos exports while correctly respecting the photo/video timeline.

   ---

   🛠️ Issue

   When importing videos from a Google Photos Takeout archive (photos are mostly ok), Proton Drive currently sets the file’s date based on the filesystem timestamp (e.g., when the .mp4 file was downloaded), rather than using the actual creation date stored in the accompanying .json metadata files.

   This leads to incorrect chronological ordering and loss of accurate historical context—especially for older media and large libraries.

   ---

   ✅ Suggested Solution

   Introduce a Google Takeout Import Tool in Proton Drive that:

   • Detects and parses .json metadata files included with Google Photos exports
   • Extracts photoTakenTime or creationTime values
   • Applies the correct created timestamp to the corresponding media file (photo or video)

   This ensures accurate and consistent date metadata across all imported files.

   ---

   📦 Example

   Let’s say I have these two files in my Takeout folder:

   • VID_20170621_122134.mp4
   • VID_20170621_122134.json

   With the json file having the following content:

   {
     "title": "VID_20170621_122134.mp4",
     "creationTime": {
       "timestamp": "1498044094",
       "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
     },
     "photoTakenTime": {
       "timestamp": "1498044094",
       "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
     }
   }
   

   When I upload a video to Proton Drive, it should use the PhotoTakenTime from the accompanying JSON file as the creation date. Without proper handling of these JSON files, the file download date (e.g., July 2, 2025) is used instead—resulting in an inaccurate and cluttered timeline. This mainly affects videos, as photos generally retain metadata better. A dedicated import tool is especially important for users migrating years of content from Google Photos.

   ---

   🎯 Benefit

   Adding this import tool would:

   • Preserve the original timeline of a user's photo/video history
   • Improve sorting and searching by date
   • Offer a smoother transition for users migrating from Google services

   ---

   Thanks for your continued focus on privacy and usability. I hope this feature can be considered for a future update so I can fully switch my Google Photo library to Proton Drive.

9. Delete current photo in the web app

   Add a "Delete" button to the single photo view in the Proton Drive web app.

   If I have several similar photos and want to keep just one of them and delete all others, I need to close the current photo, find it again in the photo list view (which can be a hard task if the photos are very similar) and delete it from there instead of just clicking "Delete" for the specific photo.

10. Separate forums for Docs / Sheets / Photos

    I reviewed all 34(!) pages of Proton Drive suggestions, for possibly making a suggestion on core Proton Drive functionality (user groups)... it is too much preparation before making a suggestion.

    I propose to create 3 new forums, for Docs, Sheets and Photos respectively. There is some amount of duplicate suggestions too.

11. Decouple Proton Drive from Proton's default email address

    As I understand it, Proton Drive uses the encryption key of the default email address in your Proton account to keep your drive volume end-to-end encrypted. From my perspective as a user, this poses a significant design issue, as it presents several problems:

    • You cannot accept invitations to collaborate on folders or documents sent to an email that isn't the original email address used to encrypt your drive. The invitation will still appear in the Proton Drive app as pending, but you won't ever be able to accept it. Therefore, collaboration is no longer privacy-friendly, as you may need to expose your primary email to people you don't want to share it with.

    • There isn't a way to change the address associated with Proton Drive; the only solution offered by Proton's support is to wipe your volume and recreate it with a new address. However, this would require you to download all the content first and then re-upload it to the new volume.

    • The email address you used to create your Drive account is exposed, even in files shared with a public link. You don't have the option to hide your email when sharing files or choose an alias instead, defeating the mission of Proton.

    The email address of the Proton Drive account should be configurable and not default to the account's email, allowing the user to change the email address when needed. Until this is solved, Proton Drive is a broken solution for most advanced users seeking private and collaborative cloud storage.

    For example, one user may start using Proton with a default address using one of the Proton domains (example@proton.me) and later decide to change it to use their own domain (example@example.com). This user won't be able to use Proton Drive normally anymore after switching their emails.

12. Proton music

    Just like you have a section for your Proton photos, you should have a section for your Proton music, because most of us have to listen to our downloaded music from YouTube Music, Dizer and Sportifay. To avoid this and to maintain folder optimization, most of us need Proton music.

13. Link to a Proton Drive File in Proton Sheet

    Request the ability, when creating a link in Proton Sheet, to directly retrieve the link to a file in Proton Drive, not just external links.

    Currently, to do this, we have to create public sharing links for our Proton Drive files, which is both inconvenient and not very secure if we share our Proton Sheet.

15. Missing Core Spreadsheet Feature: Internal Sheet-to-Sheet Hyperlinks

    Proton Sheets is currently missing a basic, foundational spreadsheet feature that has existed in Excel and Google Sheets for well over a decade: internal hyperlinks between sheets in the same spreadsheet.

    Right now, it is not possible to create a clickable link in one sheet that navigates to another sheet within the same file.

    Let me be absolutely clear about why this is a serious problem:

    I routinely work with large, complex spreadsheets containing dozens to hundreds of sheets. These are not “toy” spreadsheets. They are operational frameworks, logs, dashboards, and documentation systems that must live inside a single file.

    In every competent spreadsheet environment (Excel, Google Sheets), this is solved with:

    Sheet-to-sheet hyperlinks

    Clickable navigation menus

    Index / contents sheets that actually work

    In Proton Sheets:

    You cannot right-click a cell and link to another sheet

    You cannot create an internal anchor link

    You cannot build a navigable index

    You are forced to scroll horizontally through endless sheet tabs like it’s 2003

    That is not a workaround. That is a product failure.

    Suggesting that users “just click the tabs at the bottom” is not realistic once a spreadsheet scales beyond a handful of sheets. When you are dealing with 50, 100, or 200 sheets, manual tab-hunting is slow, error-prone, and frankly absurd.

    This feature is:

    Not advanced

    Not niche

    Not optional

    It is table-stakes spreadsheet functionality.

    The fact that Proton Sheets shipped without internal sheet hyperlinks strongly suggests it was designed for very small, very simple spreadsheets, not real-world operational use. That puts it far behind Google Sheets and Excel in practical terms, regardless of privacy advantages.

    Feature request (non-negotiable):

    Ability to create hyperlinks that navigate to another sheet within the same spreadsheet

    Ideally with support for targeting a specific cell (e.g. SheetX!A1)

    UI support via right-click “Insert link” or formula-based linking

    Until this exists, Proton Sheets is not viable for serious spreadsheet users running large, multi-sheet systems.

    I want to use Proton’s ecosystem. I am actively trying to move away from Google. But missing fundamentals like this make that impossible.

    Please prioritise this. It should have been there from day one.

17. Deploy the new Euro Office suite into Drive

    With the launch yesterday of Euro Office (a new fork of OnlyOffice) can it be deployed into Proton Drive to give an alternative to Proton Docs. The current Docs and Sheets deployment is severely lacking in features, uses a proprietry file format which goes against protons ethos, and renders document editing impossible outside of the proton ecosystem, going as far as to force another proprietry file form (docx/xlsx) if you download it without even pausing to think about letting us use open formats.

    Dev work would be minimal, as the system is already built and available for free: https://github.com/Euro-Office
