1. Mount Proton Drive as a Virtual Disk / File System Integration for Windows

   I am a Proton Plus subscriber, and as a paying customer I expect a user experience and level of integration similar to what most competing cloud storage services already provide regarding backup and file synchronization.

   I use Proton Drive not only as a backup tool, but also as a working storage location.
   However, there is currently no option to mount Proton Drive as a standard virtual disk on Windows — for example as drive “P:\” in applications that interact directly with the file system.

   This feature is essential for professional and productivity-focused workflows because it would:

   make the entire Drive accessible through the native Windows file system and 3rd-party apps (Total Commander, IDEs, CAD, office software, etc.)

   improve handling and organization of large amounts of files

   provide a clearer overview of storage usage, i.e. folder and sub-folder sizes, which is crucial to verify that all intended files and folders have been synchronized correctly, improving control and speed of work

   remove current workflow limitations associated with selective sync

   Expected capabilities of this feature

   ✔ Visible as a regular drive letter in Windows
   ✔ Full compatibility with standard file operations
   ✔ Optional enable/disable by user preference
   ✔ Security preserved (end-to-end encryption)
   ✔ On-Demand Sync remains available as a complementary feature

   Summary

   This feature would provide Proton Drive with full usability and accessibility —
   a natural, intuitive way to work with data → fewer clicks, more productivity.

   It would bring Proton Drive to the same level as major cloud drive services
   that already support virtual disk mounting.

   Thank you for considering this feature request!

2. Delete original backup if organized into an album

   I'm wondering if it would be feasible to add a feature into proton drive, where the original videos and photos get backed up if its possible to delete it after that same photo or video gets moved into an album as I imagine for most people it would be easier to search through named albums vs a random collection of pics and videos put together.

   TL;DR - Photo/video gets backed up>Move photo/video to album>Delete original photo/video (without deleting the one in the album). Saves space and keeps things clean and organized

3. Hiding photo albums

   Allow for photo albums to be hidden, sorted, and their contents also hidden. I've got a lot of work photos in my proton drive, but I don't care browsing past all of them when I'm looking for pictures of my actual life. If I could hide them in albums, but still on hand, that would be great.

4. Choose what computer backup to show in Proton Drive folder

   Would be nice to have an option to exclude backups from showing in the Proton Drive folder on other PCs. Currently I have a couple of backed up folders that goes through a lot of constant changes which makes Proton Drive on other computers take forever to mirror these changes even if it's not technically downloading anything.

5. File management paradigm change?

   As a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest techologies since 40 years

   I'd like ProtonDrive to consider:
   - merging all types of documents (office, audio, video, etc) into a single environment (as opposed to the Documents/Photos distiction)
   - allow the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS
   - providing labels/tags/keywords management (add, remove, batch rename)
   - integrate these labels/tags/keywords within the files metadata without changing their modification date (as opposed to libraries systems strongly linked to products and service providers)
   - providing views management (add, remove, rename) based on the aforementioned labels/tags/keywords
   - providing a funtionality to generate a folder structure based on views

   So that:
   - Merging: one environment simplifies and generalizes the file management development and usage
   - Labels, views: it doesn't matter anymore where I store files, but how I can find them easliy (consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy)
   - Optionally expose files: for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps
   - Integrate labels, generate folder structure: portability is ensured for the day I decide to move my files to another platform (export folder structure with my personal categorization system without risk of loosing years of organization)
   - Modification date: obviously the file management should't tamper with the effective file content change date

   Thank you for considering shaping a futuristic UX with an open and portable file system management post-GAFAM and service provider independent! 😍

7. Proton Codes

   Hi, could you add a separate code section to my files, like Proton Photos? Finding the code I've written in my files is really difficult and time-consuming. To avoid this, I'd like a section that only displays the code, similar to Proton Photos. This would be a good alternative to GitHub or GitLab. I'd love for ProtonDrive to be the world's first cloud storage app to support programming languages. I'd also like for the code to be displayed with a progress bar showing the usage rate for each language, just like GitHub. Trust me, Proton users will love Proton Codes for its updates. :)

9. Shortcut Items (symbolic link or hard link) for Proton Drive

   I'm using Google Drive along with Proton Drive and find Proton Drive missing a feature that I think is useful.

   Google Drive has a feature called 'Create shortcut', it seems creating a symbolic link (not hard link) to another location.

   The problem is when organizing my data, sometimes I see that some items should be at different locations and they're the same things.

12. 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.

13. Link sharing: Add "Request Access" Approval for Shared Links (Google Drive-style)

    Please add a "Request Access / Manual Approval" option for shared links in Proton Drive.

    How it should work:
    When someone clicks a shared link, they cannot immediately access the file / folder.
    Instead, they see a button like "Request Access."
    The owner receives a notification and can approve or deny each request, tied to the requester's email address.

    Why this matters:
    Prevents link leaks. Even if the URL is forwarded, only approved people get access.
    Gives owners more granular control, without relying only on passwords or expiry dates.
    Matches a feature users are already familiar with from Google Drive, making migration easier.

    Optional enhancements:
    Let owners revoke individual approvals later.
    Combine with existing Proton Drive features like link expiry and passwords for layered security.
    Allow domain restrictions (e.g. only @company.com accounts).

    This would give Proton Drive one of the strongest and most user-friendly access control systems in the privacy-focused cloud market.

14. Granular backups

    we need ability to ignore files by type, name, or if they're in a specific directory that can be matched by name or some kind of regex. it is really annoying that some games have shader caches in Documents folder and it keeps backing these up- filling my trash can with a Terabyte of poo that I have to clean to recover my space.

17. Thumbnail support for modern formats, like WebP, HEIF and HEVC

    Newer smartphones make use of modern formats for storage of photos and videos. These formats include WebP and HEIF for photos and HEVC and WebM for video. Adding thumbnail and metadata support for these formats allows us to make better use of the albums feature, without having to convert these files before storage.

18. Proton Docs Desktop App

    Alongside the desktop Proton Drive app should be the option to have a desktop Proton Docs capability so that you can edit, create, or delete your Docs from the desktop without it having to be in the browser. Syncing across devices accordingly and the ability to work offline on the desktop. This would allow for easier use of functioning on an ongoing basis without having to do it on the web every time.

19. Add support for exFAT filesystem

    Proton Drive appears to only support NTFS, APFS. Incredibly frustrating to learn that the drive I'd like to use for backups isn't compatible with the service I've paid for due to the filesystem not being supported; exFAT is a fairly common cross-platform filesystem for external drives and is super useful for those going between operating systems and devices.
