  3. Manage internal files/folders

    On the Mobile versions it would be really helpful to be able to manage internal files and remove the need for a file manager app such as "Files By Google" on our devices. Allowing us the usual functionality of a file manager, it could also allow for easier batch uploading to the cloud.

    It would make it easier to organise our devices files, be able to upload them to the cloud and remove them from device storage all in a single app.

  4. worm - Write Once Read Many

    I would like to request support for a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) archiving feature with integrated retention expiration management.

    📌 Feature Description
    The goal is to enable secure data archiving where files are immutable for a specified retention period, after which they become eligible for deletion or further processing.

    🎯 Key Requirements:
    WORM compliance: Data should be written once and remain unmodifiable during the retention period.

    Configurable retention policy: Ability to define retention duration per object/file at creation time.

    Automatic expiration handling:

    After the retention period, the system should allow:

    Automatic deletion

    Manual deletion (if desired)

    Archival transition to…

  6. [mobile] Easier selection of multiple images

    Current implementation: Currently, when dealing with albums in Proton Drive on mobile devices, users must manually tap each image to select them and add them to an album. Same applies also when selecting images in other views, regardless if intention is to add them to an album or not.

    Issue: This process can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of images spread across multiple rows. The lack of a streamlined selection method makes it time-consuming to organize photos efficiently.

    Proposal: It would be beneficial to introduce a more intuitive way to select multiple images. On mobile devices,…

  9. icon view (Albums)

    Photos & Albums suggestion:

    🍄 When click Albums:
    now is list view only, add icon view (grid view) please :)

    And if I can choose sort by " file name / time / file size ",
    then I can set "one of options" as default.
    It would be so perfect..
    then I can share my works photos to clients via Proton Drive/ Albums in the future.
    looks good.

    😇Always, Thanks to Proton.

  10. Folder tree should autoexpand during navigation

    Similar to File Explorer on Windows, there's a setting called 'Autoexpand to folder'. When clicking a folder on the main area of File Explorer, the tree view on left panel autoexpand to that folder.

    Proton Drive is better with such feature. Currently, when double-clicking a folder on the main area, the folder tree on the left doesn't change, and sometimes it's deeply nested inside, thus clicking the tree to browse to current folder is slow.

  11. Reconnect desktop app to existing folder

    Hi,
    I wanted to pull an offline backup for my and my wives Drive.
    I synced my folder to an external drive, switched users in the app to my wife, synced to external drive and then...
    I couldn't switch back to the big online folder of my account, because you can only switch to an empty folder. So I had to download everything in my account again.
    And the next time I want to pull a backup on my wives account I'm back to the problem.
    I created a second Windows account for her now and never switch users in…

  14. Edit file metadata (including photos)

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  15. Start Drive sync while 'preparing'

    Apologies, not sure if "new feature" or 'change to existing feature'.

    Setting up Proton Drive on a new machine or after a re-format - it spends HOURS "Setting up... (x items prepared for sync)" before it actually starts syncing.

    Why can't it start syncing what is already 'prepared' while figuring out the rest? Would be a HUGE QoL improvement for users and save a TON of time getting people up and running.

  16. Show users you’ve already shared something with as suggestions when sharing.

    Right now, it only shows email addresses you’ve already emailed with. But that’s mostly irrelevant. Users you’ve actually shared stuff with don’t show up at all. Me (and I guess others) have contacts we share things with but have never mailed. These should appear as suggestion when sharing.

  19. name doc

    Auto suggest name for a doc based on fist line of text in the doc.

  20. Templates structure in Proton docs

    I need to create the same page structure in proton docs multiple times to ensure that i am not missing any element in my report writing.
    It will be extremely productive, if a template could be saved for such requirement and then i just click that template and save my 7 to 9 clicks including the font and the size specifications.
