1. Allow to Only Sync Selected Folders

   Similar to Dropbox, it would be great if I could keep only a few folders in sync locally. In other words, if I have 20 folders in Proton Drive, I only want to have 5 of those folders on my Mac; the others can be online-only.

2. Proton Drive in-app Editor & Viewer

   Hey everyone,
   I've just have an idea for the entire Proton Drive application for (at least) Windows.

   If you added a folder or Files, you might be already known, that you can't edit or view the staff inside the Drive App.
   So, for example; you've just added or created a .txt or somethings, you have to press on the "folder name" e.g. "My Files", and then it open the File explorer of Windows, probably as well on Linux and Mac but i don't know.

   So, it would be great to view some files like .txt or some other staffs like Pictures or else.

   Also to edit and and a better organization, to add and Delete stuff inside the app itself. At the moment (or i am just blind) can't add/Edit and really delete stuff (Moving to trash).

   Maybe, add a button for a "Create..." which give you the opportunity to create a .(proton)docs and maybe some more.

   Inside of the "Activity" tab, it should also show the user which files are deleted, or it should be deleted after deletion of inside of the cloud. Like with a symbol of a "X" or "trash can".

   Thank you for the Programs!

3. File tags, tag views, and at-rest encryption

   I'm currently a user of both Proton Drive and Standard Notes (SN). Both products serve different needs, but I can envision a world in which the best aspects of SN are merged into Proton Drive.

   A big weakness of Proton Drive's local file sync functionality comes from the fact that all files must be sync'd and that there is no opportunity to keep them encrypted at-rest. While users can certainly introduce a separate encryption/decryption step to the process of manipulating files, this opens up a window of vulnerability in which any locally running application with shell access can read the file; this is clearly unacceptable for sensitive data.

   Secondly, Proton Drive's reliance on a strict hierarchical file structure fails to leverage its cloud-based architecture to deliver a flexible user experience in which files can be organized and accessed via multiple contexts (i.e. just as you can add the same photo to multiple albums, you should be able to access the same file via different contexts). While users can introduce a separate file tagging step to the process and construct views using links, this is cumbersome, the implementation is platform-specific, and it introduces multiple additional points of failure for the user.

   I propose a multi-stage solution to address these shortcomings (these would be implemented in sequence until we have the final solution):
   1. Introduce the ability to exclude some files from the sync process, keeping them remotely encrypted and only accessible via the web client (this protects sensitive data from being accessible locally by bad actors)
   2. Introduce the ability to define tags, apply those tags to files, and define tag views (logical combinations of tags) that can be sync'd as a virtual view (e.g. "/My 2025 Documents/" is a view that captures the combination of tags "format/document" and "year/2025")
   3. Introduce the ability to specify a secondary encryption key to keep files encrypted at-rest even if they are sync'd; this then leads into...
   4. Introduce a native client that offers both local and remote file browsing, file management, and document editing and also supports tags, tag views, and secondary encryption/decryption for local files (i.e. the singular "Proton Drive" app in which you manage and access all of your files, tags, and views)

   If these features are implemented, they would neatly bridge the gap between Proton Drive and Standard Notes:
   - the low-level sync mechanism would continue to operate as expected
   - files could be part of multiple views / contexts (or not be part of any)
   - security would be maintained at-rest for sensitive data
   - document creation and editing could be managed from a native application that has access to both local and remote files

   I know this proposal encompasses multiple features, but I felt it was important to present them all at once in order to portray a complete and functional end-state.

   Thank you for reading.

4. The file viewer adjustable width to fit the window to make the text more readable

   When you view a .txt file in a ProtonDrive (meaning when for example someone access it via public sharing link), it is better readable if the lines are not too wide (as it is currently), but when the .txt file contains for example a code or a log entries, then the too narrow viewer makes the file very hard to read, so you end up sharing such files using different service than Proton (which is bad).

   I think that the width should be adjustable and by default made wider to fit/fill whole window. I am using Firefox browser.

5. I'd like to share a photoalbum.

   I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
   The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.

   This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

6. Ensure I can select and upload multiple files and folders at once, without having to upload files one by one (mobile)

   Currently the mobile app on IpadOS and Android doesn’t support the upload and of an entire folder of files or photos. It also doesn’t support an easy way to multi-select files via a swipe, like the Os prescribes.

   Use case: When I export photos from Lightroom I want to upload them in bulk. Currently, on the web, I can use the OS-Level multi-select behavior to launch an upload of an entire folder. On the apps this is not possible, especially on IpadOS this functionality is very rudimentary. Without this feature, the apps are useless for me.

7. File management paradigm change

   Hum... I can't edit nor delete my first post about that, so I try republishing it... 🤔

   ♻️ File management paradigm change
   This is a repost (deleted my former suggestion) as suggested by another user, to make it more clear, thank you. ❤️
   I'm a curious, sometimes geek with nerd outbursts, user exploring and using newest technologies since 40 years.

   Unfortunately, I still see very old concepts and ideas still being implemented today by default, not because they're good, but because we're suffering from operational blindness.

   🌏 Context
   Managing files for users has not changed since 40 years: You work on a file and at some point you need to save it somewhere. You can chose drive C, D, ... then folder and subfolder A, B, C or library Documents, Music, Pictures, Photos, Videos and, oh gosh, this file should go into folder G and at the same time into the Documents library... Aaawww... 😵‍💫

   And there begins of all our data mess.

   💡 Idea
   Users shouldn't be bothered anymore to have to think of where they store their data (once of course they consciously selected a trustworthy service provider like Proton 😜), only how they can find them again. This would be consistent with ProtonMail's labels/views philosophy. 👍🏼

   They should only be offered the possibility to tag/label their files (manually, AI-automatically?) in order to find them easily later with views (flexible, not hard coded like a distinct Photo library for instance 😉).

   ✅ Reflection points
   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 distinction)
   • allowing the user to chose to expose these documents to the OS (for instance I can listen to music with my favorite 3rd party application instead of putting lots of effort for additional ProtonXXX apps)
   • providing labels/tags management (add, remove, batch rename)
   • integrate these labels/tags 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 functionality to generate a folder structure based on views for portability (today I'm happy with Proton, tomorrow maybe not anymore, and I wouldn't want a migration nightmare with the risk of loosing years of organization)

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

8. 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.

9. Proton Docs: download to docx and PDF does not work properly, format is messed up

   The formatting in Proton Docs looks beautiful, however as soon as I export it to docx, the formatting is messed up.
   Also, with the download to PDF the format is changed (puts content on 2 pages even though there would be enough space on one). I would expect the format to stay exactly as I see it in the Proton Docs when I export it.
   Therefore, it's not usable for printing a doc / exporting a doc. Currently, it's not an option to completely change to Proton Docs.

10. Integrate folder sharing with Proton Contacts on mobile

    Current Behavior: When sharing folders or albums in Proton Drive with family members, I must manually type each email address. There's no integration with Proton Contacts, making the sharing process time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Would be great to have more seamless integration between Proton Contacts and Proton Drive that would:

    • Allow users to select contacts directly from their address book when sharing
    • Support autocomplete functionality as users begin typing names

    Even more, if Contacts would support contact groups, sharing to family members as a single group.

11. Inconsistant timelines

    I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way dates are handled in the timeline view when updated via the Web interface.
    * Photos use the "Photo taken date", while
    * Videos use the "FIle modified date".

    This results in a messy and inconsistent timeline. To work around this on our end, we’ve had to delete all the videos, unify the metadata dates, and re-upload them. However, it seems odd that a different logic would be applied to photos vs. videos, so this feels more like a bug than something intentional.

    With such approach, it is impossible to have the video correctly sorted, unless you upload the original file ever created.

    Ideally, we hope this can be resolved on your side, so we don’t need to re-upload everything again.

    Thanks in advance for looking into this!

16. Photos sections improvement in Mobile App

    1) Make the Photos section also include all photos that are stored in the user’s other Drive folders, not only those that have been synced from the phone.

    2) As it already works on the web version: allow users to upload photos directly from their device into the Photos section and also from the Albums section (currently you can only add to Albums photos that have already been synced).

    3) Allow users to manually add a folder path for image files to be synchronized.

17. Add the ability to download a .protondoc document from the mobile app

    Currently, in the mobile version it’s impossible to download a .protondoc file (why such an odd format in the first place?). I’m forced to go online (and even use the desktop version) to download the document. It would be great to be able to do this directly within the app.

    It seems surprising that such basic features aren’t already implemented (just like the search function, which still doesn’t exist in the mobile app…).

18. Allow photo album ordering based on actual photo EXIF date or by album title

    Right now I cant reorder my albums. Now they are in LIFO mode (last in first out) which means that If I have album from year 2024 an then I upload photos from 2007 (takeout from Google Photos) this album from 2007 will be in my list higher then the 2024. Enable order by title names (so I can put into title name year) or by photo EXIFs to do it automatically for me.
