  2. QOL for Proton Docs: Headers and text default formatting

    I think it would be neat if we can set our preferred default fonts and text sizes for every NEW headers and subsequent texts.

    It's a hassle having to switch them over from Arial to the other fonts I'm more comfortable with.

  3. Single click to navigate into folders in the Proton Drive web app

    Ability to navigate into Proton Drive folders in the web app using single-mouse click would be very convenient when navigating a lot of folders back and forth.

  4. Do not upload duplicate files

    When I upload a file that already exists with the same name in the same folder, it is uploaded with a sequential number added. It would be better to do as other competitors do, i.e. warn that the file already exists and ask whether to upload it as a duplicate or not.

  5. Separate photos taken by camera

    Right now, after making proton drive sync all my photos from my phone, I can either view photos and screenshots, or only screenshots. There is no "only pictures taken by you" option, or at least an "everything else" option.

  6. Show filesize of an image

    Show how much storage space an image takes up. This would be useful in the gallery for clearing up space if you're running out, but it'd also be useful if you have an image open. In the gallery, it could be shown per-image in one of the corners (e.g. "384kiB"), and in the image viewer perhaps next to the date or to the left of the download button.

  7. Photo backup from camera - allow choice of destination (to drive or photos)

    Allow choice of destination (either a Proton Drive folder of choice OR Proton Photos) for the phone camera photo backup feature.

    It currently only allows a sync to the Proton Photos feature, which is

    A) very limited (see all the comments in the community).

    B) doesn’t allow management of photos across the "drive" and “photos" feature of proton.

    C) This also makes sorting and archiving photos collated from different sources and placed into both drive and photos in the Proton architecture, VERY difficult.

    In addition, allow drag and drop sorting between Proton drive and Proton photos. Even though this may…

  8. 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.

  9. Ability to select a table and change the font for all of the cells

    You need to be able to select a table and change the font for all of the cells. I have had to change the font every single time. It is ridiculous that you cannot do this automatically.

  10. Proton Docs or Proton Notes with handwriting input support

    There is no real great privacy respecting note taking or journaling app out there that supports handwriting input using Apple Pencil or some other stylus. Most don’t support handwriting at all, including Proton Docs and Standard Notes, and the few that do aren’t great from a privacy standpoint. Most rely on Dropbox or iCloud.

    Journaling or sketch writing is an inherently hand written process. Even jotting down notes in meetings.

    It would be wonderful to see Proton adopt support for inputting handwritten test using an Apple Pencil/other stylus. This could be where Proton Docs/Notes acts as a blank canvas like…

  11. Music

    Proton music (I know there's one other post, but I want to add other features)

    open source cloud drive based, like Spotify, file steamer

    We have files and photos section in drive app

    Why not make an song section?

    IT would take files within specified directory and put in an player UI

    Also have hand off to remote control and sync devices, save YouTube id to import, retrieve comments and create shareable playlists with other users

    Search metadata, lyrics, track local plays for year review

    Ofc, user must own the files from CDs or whatever

    I've gone trough many players…

  12. Add a better visualization of the space used on my drive

    I hope the music player is built into Proton Drive. Currently, I have activated Proton Duo. I want to completely melt the proton into my daily life. The song player is not in the drive. I'm using it with pcloud. Please.

  16. Allow sharing with Proton email aliases

    Currently in Proton Drive, when I try to share a file with someone who is using a Proton alias — for example, foo.bar681@passinbox.com — I get an error message:

    "Inviting someone with a Proton or SimpleLogin domain is not permitted."

    Why this restriction? Why, in order to receive an invitation to share a Drive file, must we expose our primary email address?
