Sheet: Choose encoding when import
We cannot choose file encoding when importing CSV file.
Because of I'm Japanese user, I often use Shift JIS encoding for CSV file.
There are many services that issues CSV as Shift JIS encoding in Japan.

photo location
Support location metadata for photo: show it in details and make it possible to correct coordinates or location. It should also be good to have automatic albums based on location.

Add to album list order
It's not clear what's the order in the "add to album" list from a selected photo. It should be by name, or better to be selectable (date, alphabetical...) or searchable with a text box.

Proton Sheets - edit chart axis range
In Proton sheets, when I make a chart out of my data, the Y-axis always starts from 0. However, if all my values are in the thousands, this is unnecessary and hides the differences between my values, as they all look similar in this zoomed-out view. So, I would like to edit the range of the chart axes by setting min and max values to my liking.

Async changing folder
When a user move multiple documents to another folders, the user needs to wait until all documents are moved wich can tak more then 30 seconds.
As a user I want to wait inder the 3 seconds when moveing document to another folder. Is it possible to do a Async request of changing folders so that the user can continu using the app?

Proton Drive - Save feature integration
I want to be able to save files or links etc. from the iPhone "share" menu. Right now, I can only save to the iPhone Files app which has Proton Drive, but I would prefer to save directly to the Proton Drive app.

Option/simple setting for all files to be online only
I would like to be able to set my Proton Drive on my Mac to have all files accessible online only. I constantly find that files have downloaded to my Mac, reducing my disk space, even when I have not opened up the file in the Proton Drive.
I have tried to correct this numerous times by going through every file and setting them individually to online only, but this setting does not "stick". It would also be good to be able to set directories online only on a case-by-case basis.1 vote -
data validation list for spreadsheets
A data validation LIST option would be welcomed for spreadsheets. Each cell in the column would have a drop down menu with the available options of the predefined list.

.XLSX files - duplicate files / read-only
When opening an existing .XLSX file within Proton Drive, this creates a (1).xlsx file. Ideally it would open and update the existing file, otherwise it will continue to generate multiple duplicate files (1).xlsx, (2).xlsx, etc. Alternatively, an option to open as a read-only version here (for original uploader) might be helpful.

A thought on spreadsheet architecture (from a grateful user)
Hi Proton Team,
First off, I want to say that what you've built with Proton Docs is genuinely impressive. End-to-end encrypted spreadsheets that actually work is no small feat, and I really appreciate the engineering that went into making this happen.
I've been using your spreadsheet app and thinking a lot about architecture lately. What you've accomplished is amazing—truly. But I also believe that trying to build the same thing in different ways can teach you a lot, even if you never ship it. I wish I could rewrite all my own apps in every language and framework just to see what I'd learn. But if I had to choose just one thing to rewrite, one experiment that felt like it might reveal something fundamental... I'd rewrite a spreadsheet app in SolidJS.
I know how this sounds. It feels a bit like suggesting someone reconsider their religion, and I've been hesitant to even bring it up. And look—I could be completely wrong about this. I don't know your codebase. I don't know what you've already tried or what constraints you're working under. I'm looking at this from the outside, and I'm sure there are a hundred things I'm not seeing.
But here's the thing that keeps nagging at me, and I could be completely wrong about this—I don't know all the facts of your architecture or the constraints you're working under—but: spreadsheet cells are literally signals.
I mean this in the most fundamental, computer science sense. A cell holds a value. When that value changes, dependent cells recalculate. That's it. That's a signal. And React... React doesn't really think in signals. It thinks in snapshots and reconciliation.
Right now, when I edit a cell in your spreadsheet, React has to:Re-run component functions
Build a new virtual DOM tree
Diff it against the old tree
Figure out what changed
Update the DOMOr at least, that's how I understand it works. I could be missing optimizations you've implemented that I can't see from the outside. But in principle, a spreadsheet cell doesn't need a diff. It knows exactly what changed—its value. And it knows exactly who needs to know—the cells that reference it.
This is where signal-based reactivity (like what SolidJS uses) becomes almost eerily perfect for spreadsheets. Not because SolidJS is "better" (I know how loaded that word is), but because the mental model matches the problem domain exactly:
A1 = 5 // This is a signal
A2 = A1 * 2 // This is a computed signal
When A1 changes, only A2 updates. No diffing. No reconciliation. No re-rendering parent components. Just: "A1 changed, tell A2." That's it.
I realize I'm oversimplifying massively, and maybe I'm missing something fundamental about why this wouldn't work in practice. I know you've got virtualization, you've got workers handling crypto, you've got complex state management for collaboration, and you've got a whole ecosystem built on React. There are probably architectural decisions I'm completely unaware of that make this harder—or maybe even impossible—than I'm imagining.
But I also can't shake this feeling that you're fighting React's fundamental architecture every time a cell updates. You've done an amazing job making it work (seriously, the fact that it works as well as it does is a testament to your engineering), but it's like... you've built a beautiful house with the wrong foundation for the soil type, you know?
Or maybe I'm completely off base. Maybe React is actually perfect for this and I'm just not seeing it.
Here's what I'm actually suggesting (and please feel free to ignore this):
Maybe it's worth experimenting with a signal-based approach for just the grid layer? Not a full rewrite. Not even for production. Just... to see. To learn what happens when the mental model aligns so perfectly with the problem. It could be SolidJS, or Preact Signals, or even a custom implementation. The framework doesn't matter as much as the fundamental reactivity model.
Because I genuinely believe you'd learn something valuable, even if you never ship it. Sometimes the act of building the same thing differently reveals insights about the original that you couldn't see any other way.
And if the theory holds—if signals really could be 5-10x faster for spreadsheet operations (which the benchmarks suggest, though I know benchmarks lie), and if they use significantly less memory—then for something like Proton Docs, which people use for work, where performance and reliability matter, those insights might be worth exploring. Even if it just confirms that React was the right choice all along.
I know this is a big ask, even as an experiment. I know you have a roadmap. I know React works and has a huge ecosystem and hiring is easier and a million other practical reasons to stick with what you have. And I'm not saying you're wrong for using React—it was probably the right choice when you started.
But if I could rewrite just one of my apps to learn something fundamental about architecture, it would be this. A spreadsheet in signals. Because it just... fits.
I'm just saying... spreadsheet cells are signals. And sometimes when something just makes sense at that fundamental level, it's worth exploring. Even just as an experiment.
Or maybe it's not worth it. Maybe you've already run these numbers and they don't add up. Maybe there's something about signals that breaks with encryption, or collaboration, or some other piece I can't see from here. I genuinely don't know.
Again, I love what you've built. I'm rooting for you. And if you've already considered this and decided against it—or if I'm just fundamentally misunderstanding the problem—I completely understand.
Thanks for listening to my rambling.Hi Proton Team,

Shortcuts on displayed pictures/videos
When displaying a picture or watching a video in Proton Drive/Photos, it would be very convenient to have shortcuts that appear at the bottom when touching the screen, such as a trash bin shortcut icon or a share shortcut icon.
This would enhance the user experience and save time.
Thank you for your consideration.
