Proton Photos - Web - "Add to album" stays visible when selecting photos in an album
It is common for photos to appear in several albums at once. For instance I have individual albums for my nieces and my cats, and photos commonly feature several of these people in the same photo.
When I select photos in the main "Photos" tab, I get an "Add to album" button.
When I select photos within an album, the same button does not appear. I only have the options to download or remove from the current album.
I would like the "Add to album" button to appear when photos are selected in an album. This would also help with album organisation in general.
As a enhancement, the "Add to album" button should also have "Favourites" shown as an album, to enable photos to be added to favourites easily.

Photo backup available in Windows explorer
Photos that are backed up to the cloud should be available as all the other folders in windows explorer. I want to organize them and in the web browser interface, you can't drag and drop. Using the web interface make large amounts to organizing into folders very time consuming. Please make the photo folder available in windows explorer so the images can be moves easily.

File request
No, Proton Drive does not currently support a native, blind "File Request" feature like the ones found in Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive.
While you can generate public links that allow outside users to upload files, Proton’s current setup behaves like a shared folder rather than a secure submission drop box.
The Current Workaround (and its Limitations)
You can technically receive files from non-Proton users by doing the following:
Create a new, empty folder in your Proton Drive.
Generate a shareable link and set the permissions to "Anyone with the link can edit."
The Problem: Because this grants "edit" permissions rather than "write-only" access, anyone who visits that link can see, download, or delete any files already uploaded to that folder by previous visitors.
If you need a secure, blind workaround:
If you need to use Proton Drive for this but cannot allow uploaders to see other clients' or third parties' documents, you must create a unique, dedicated folder and link for each individual sender. Once they notify you that the upload is complete, you should immediately move the files out of that shared directory and disable the link.No, Proton Drive does not currently support a native, blind "File Request" feature like the ones found in Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive.

Proton Docs / Sheets - Microsoft Format compatibility mode
I’d like to request Microsoft Office format compatibility for Proton Docs and Sheets.
At the moment, I’ve migrated most of my files to Proton Drive, but I still need to keep all my .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files in Google Drive because Proton does not yet support them natively. Since I work across multiple systems, I rely on these universal file formats for seamless collaboration and interoperability.
It would be extremely valuable to have:
- A compatibility mode similar to Google Docs/Sheets for handling Microsoft formats
- The ability to open and edit .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files directly in Proton Drive apps
- No forced conversion into Proton-specific formats when editing these filesThis would significantly improve usability and make Proton Drive a more complete replacement for other ecosystems.
Thanks for considering this feature request!

Add headers and footers to Proton Docs
Proton Docs should support headers and footers.
Users should be able to add content such as names, document titles, dates, page numbers, and other information that appears consistently at the top or bottom of each page.
Headers and footers are basic requirements for academic papers, reports, resumes, business documents, and other print-oriented documents.

Add page size options to Proton Docs
Proton Docs should support standard page sizes such as A4, US Letter, Legal, and other common formats.
When importing documents from Google Docs, especially resumes and academic documents, the layout can change significantly because there is no way to define the intended page size.
Being able to select a page size is essential for documents that are meant to be printed, exported to PDF, or kept to a specific number of pages.

Open and edit files directly in the mobile app (Android)
Unfortunately, the Proton Drive Android app is pretty useless.
It's essential that you can also edit files with it.
When a file is opened (e.g., DOCX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, etc.), a suitable installed app should open to view and edit the file. When a change is saved, it should then be synchronized with Drive.This is how Google Drive and Nextcloud do it. I'm actually shocked that this doesn't work with ProtonDrive.

Team drive
We are using proton drive for work. Both for documents, but it also works as a kind of sharepoint/team drive. It would be really helpful to have a better teams function for the drive. At the moment we have a shared folder, but it is still only the "owner" that fully controls it. Furthermore, since I am not the owner, I am not able to access the folder through proton drive cloud on my computer. I can only access my own folders, not those shared with me. Since I am working on my personal computer, and not allowed to store files locally on my computer, thus I need to use the browser version. Especially since proton drive only supports word and excel files in browser version. It would be great to have a better teams version of proton, creating the possibility of working more smoothly in teams without having to share with each other.

Speed up search indexing in Drive on Linux Mozilla
I have been trying for 1 month to have my search feature in the web interface of drive index my files. This so they will be searchable. There are over 170K files there. The first 100K seem to be done is a jiffy, but after that it is like 1000 files every 10 minutes. My laptop is never connected to the internet for more as 3 or 4 hours and the index seems to crash after several disconnects. So after a month of trying I still have not been able to get a searchable index. Isn't it possible to speed this up? or at the very least save the progress in my drive and work with what is stored there?
My laptop is a brand new Thinkpad so it should be able to process what it needs to. Mozilla has been updated several times during my tries so I am assuming it is the latest version.

Saving search index
I know files and photos indexing may be technically difficult because everything is encrypted, but at least it should be optional to create and persist and index to not wait every time to reconstitutes it, when it's needed to search for files and photos. This index may be incrementally updated at the next access.
It should also be useful to have an index updated in background, maybe by the mobile or desktop apps.14 votes -
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.
Thx

Writing @today in Proton Docs automatically includes today's date or a date picker.
I propose a feature where writing @today automatically includes today's date. The date can then be selected and show a calendar to change dates.
This feature helps speed up daily standup date inclusions in a doc to organize our meeting notes.
This feature already exists for example in Google Docs and is a great time saver.

Proton Sheets: Add "Split text to columns" feature
Proton Sheets is missing a core spreadsheet feature found in Excel and Google Sheets: the ability to split text in a cell into multiple columns using a delimiter (comma, space, tab, custom character).
In Google Sheets this is implemented as:

Option to prevent download for files shared in proton drive
I would love an option to prevent someone from downloading a file that I’ve shared with them in Drive. For example, a video id like someone to be able to view, but not download.

A Shared drive for company use
We have started to use Proton in our company next to Google. As long as it is still not fully functional in the same way we will keep things next to eachother. At least supporting the product development of Proton by having a paid subscription!
A small step in the right direction would be to have proper Shared Drives that are 'company owned' instead of user owned. And where you can jointly keep data stored.
