Uncompress zip files online (in Proton Drive)
After taking out documents of Google Drive - you get huge ZIP files. I just want to upload them and decompress them inside the Proton Drive - not decompressing offline and then upload them all separate.

Web based Drive Search
Search is not available because the contents need to be indexed or something. Please review this. It's day 5 of me waiting for all my 900 gb to be uploaded and I can't perform a single search. Please contact me for advise on these basic things you are missing. I am regretting switching from Mega already. Please.

email photos
It would be great to be able to select photos from Proton Drive and then "Share" them directly via Proton Mail without having to download them first.

Add zoom in/out to Proton Docs web app
Please add zoom/in/out to Proton Docs. You can work around this by zooming the browser, but that increases the size of all UI elements and isn't a great solution. Hoping this is low-hanging fruit! Thanks

Hidden Photos and Files
I don't want to see all my photos on the front page, so it would be nice to hide them like every other phone gallery/drive offers

Starred Files and Folders
It would be fantastic to tag files and folders as starred and to navigate to those files and folders with a single button click from the home screen.

Allow Proton Photos to index photos stored in Drive folders
Problem: I currently manage my large photo archive in folders, grouped per year, so I am not depending on one photo library (like Apple Photo's).
Wish: Let Proton Dive index photo's from such folders, so users can use both the folder structure as well as the Photo gallery. Allow users to mark one or more Drive folders as "Photo folders". Proton Photos should automatically index the supported media files inside those folders while preserving the original folder structure.
Currently, it looks like photo's uploaded in folders to Drive, are considered as 'files' and not indexed as 'photo's'.
Result: More flexibility for users who are migrating from Apple Photo's or Google Photo's. Many users wish to store photo's privacy secured, but with a similar advanced photo gallery like Apple of Google.
This would attract more (new) users moving their photo's to Proton with subsequent more (paid) users for Proton.
It is currently my main road block from fully use Proton.

Revamp Docs's download feature
When I try to export my document every single download item is lacking expected quality. I wanted to create a simple user manual for a small app with screenshots, but I can not seem to make a proper usable export from it.
.docx have broken images and bad formatting
.html have bad formatting as well
.md is just an .md file without the images in the document, it should be a zip with image folder and [img] tag
plain .txt works but it is pointless in this case
.pdf is just "print to pdf" with browser specific headers that the user has to turn off (it could be forced out with CSS at least), also it is breaking formatting as everything else.
It is great to work in Docs but exporting my work is a hassle.

Add shared folders to "My files" in Proton Drive
Hello,
I have a Proton Duo subscription and I'd like to request a feature for Proton Drive.
Currently, when I share a folder with my Duo partner, the folder only appears in their "Shared with me" section. Unlike Google Drive, which allows users to add a shortcut to shared folders in their own "My Drive", Proton Drive offers no way to place a shared folder among one's own files.
This makes uploading files slightly less convenient, since my partner always has to navigate through "Shared with me" to access the folder we use together.
It would be great if shared folders (for accepted invitations, not just public links) could optionally appear in - or be pinned to - the recipient's "My files" section.
Thank you for considering this request, and for all your great work on privacy-focused products.
Best regards

Notifications for Changes to Shared Folder
I would love to have notifications (email preferably) when someone outside my organization accesses a shared folder - either to upload files, change/edit files, or download files. It is useful when i am waiting for a client to upload files and I don't have to keep checking the folder.

non‑E2EE Linux client for Proton Drive
Your blog says a Linux client is in progress, but Proton Drive cannot be taken seriously as a core product until it exists. Linux is a first‑class environment for many of your most technical users, and the absence of a native client is a fundamental gap.
If E2EE is the bottleneck, ship a non‑E2EE Linux client now with explicit warnings. Engineers know how to encrypt locally — Cryptomator, rclone, and similar tools already solve this. pCloud has used this model for years. Delivering a functional client early gives you performance data, crash reports, and real‑world usage patterns instead of waiting for a “perfect” release.
Proton has massive potential, but the current strategy spreads engineering effort across too many new products while the core platform still lacks critical functionality. Focus on Proton Drive first — it’s where Proton is unique, and it’s where you can actually outperform competitors.

Photo caption or description
Add ability to add a description or a caption as a separate piece of metadata for a photo. Possibly it could be part of Album metadata. The lack of this feature prevents me from migrating multiple albums from Google Photos.
There are some suggestions to display captions or descriptions from EXIF stored with photos. Doing it that way would change the modified by date etc if a user wanted to change those; also updates would require de-encryption/re-encryption, adding challenges to de-duping and burdening the user flow. On the other hand if my suggestion is implemented, then those who wanted EXIF captions displayed could have that feature added as a toggle/checkbox since the UI elements for it would already be solved.

Locally available downloads for Android
If you download a file locally on drive with an Android, it's still not available in the file structure, so I can't use it to sync local or custom apps. I'd like to be able to have it visible in the file structure so that I can.

Create links for sharing albums to people without requiring their email
The new albums are cool and all. Unfortunately, when I tried to share it with someone, I had to actually grab their email for that. That's just, kinda silly. We can share pictures with links, but not albums?

Move image to trash while already viewing it (desktop)
Currently the only way to delete an image is by going out to the gallery view and attempting to find the photo you want to delete. This is inefficient and inaccurate.

Headers, Footers, and Page Number Fields in Docs
The ability to add headers, footers, and page numbers is important for preparing documents to submit to agents, publishers, contests, etc. or as school assignments. Please include the option to make the header and footer the same across all pages, and another option to make them the same across all pages except the first. The page number field needs to be separate, since each page number will be different. Thanks.
