  1. Low Resolution Place Holders For Photos On Phone

    I don't know how feasible this is, but I would love to leave iCloud photo backup entirely for PD, but iCloud allows me to offload all photos and videos into the cloud leaving behind a low resolution thumbnail placeholder so I can still look through all my photos, while still saving memory. Its a life saver for phone storage, but also very useful as I want access to all my photos. Can this be done!? I would contend one of the most prominent reasons why people resort to photo backups is to save space!

    Thanks. Great work on all the…

  2. Crypto-payment support for Proton Paid Plans

    Many services are now accepting crypto payments.
    As Proton always provides a Crypto Wallet, It's the reasonable next step.

  3. Mark added folders with a special icon

    In Windows, change the icon for added folders, så that it is clear that those folders are backed up by Proton Drive.

  4. Select AND view photos

    Weeding out a bunch of photos is easily done be selecting multiple photos and clicking delete. Nice.
    But as you are selecting, it would be really nice to be able to open a photo for viewing. Currently you cannot view a photo if any are selected.
    I would very much like to be able to open a photo for viewing while having a selection, and having the selection retained while viewing the photo. Maybe even having the option to add/remove the currently viewed photo to the selection.
    This would also be very helpful when selecting for an album.

  5. Manual sync

    It would be great e.g. for photo/video backup on phones, if we could manually trigger syncing of data from the phone to Drive. It's not everything I need synced; could be I take a funny photo to send to a loved one, but it's not something I want to waste drive storage on.

  6. file manager

    A file manager based on proton, the default android file manager is a mess and even google files is pretty lame and not easily navigated, on windows "files" app is a good alternative for file manager and on mac the default is pretty decent and there is eagle both for mac and windows but it is not available for android or ios, it would be good to see something like eagle for phones and computers both integrated with proton drive like icloud on ios and mac

  7. chromebook

    Please add Chromebook's to the list of available devices that can sync files. I don't want to have to sit and upload every folder/file from the web interface or app as it is very time consuming. Having PD sync with Chromebooks would be very beneficial, especially to those of us who are trying to DeGoogle and only have access to a Chromebook.

  8. Photo Sync - Customizable time table

    Currently, Proton Drive (Photos) allows users to back up their photos, including over mobile data, and specifically select where they are uploaded from. But, daily, many users take pictures or screenshots to send to friends and family only to delete them minutes later. Or, take multiple pictures of a single event just to pick out what they like the most and delete the rest. If users don't go into their photo backup regularly, it can be swamped with tons of pictures that users need to parse through and get rid of.

    Would it be possible to allow users to select…

  9. Photos section - let us choose what types of files will be backed up

    When some photos in my iPhone gallery has been for example color corrected or copped the backup tends to include unmodified original as well as modified version and it is quite annoying when I’m interested to have only modified version, if you would give us some settings menu with checkboxes where we can choose if unmodified originals should be backed up it would be nice, and there is room for more settings like live photos or maybe someone would want to exclude screenshots or videos,..and cool setting might be to backup only photos older than XY days because I tend…

  10. 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.

  11. Add EXIF data "CreationDate" if not exists

    Images and videos which do not have a "CreationDate" tag in its EXIF data heavily rely on the "DateLastChanged" tag in order to be sorted correctly. WhatsApp for instance does not ship that CreationDate tag with its media files.
    This leads to the problem that images without this important EXIF data entry cannot be downloaded without the loss of any date information (because all other tags are changed to todays date).

    The idea is to set the "CreationDate" EXIF data if a media file does not have it at download time. It should use the "DateLastChanged" date for that. That…

  13. I want to back up only recent photos on my iPhone.

    When I turn on iPhone photo backup, all the photos in my iPhone's photo library are backed up.
    Let me select the album so that I can back up only Recent Photos.
    Android already allows you to specify which albums (folders) to back up.

    My iPhone's photo library contains photos synced from my local macOS environment, but I don't need to back these up.

  14. Sharing .vcf cards - Unpleasant UI experience

    • When sharing a .vcf contact file via Proton Drive, the preview page expands the entire vCard text, making it hard for non‑technical recipients to locate the download button.
    • Desired behavior: Show a generic file‑icon with a prominent “Download” button (similar to how PDFs or images are presented), or automatically trigger a download for pure data files.
    • Impact: Improves usability for sharing contacts, event invites, and other vCard‑based data with friends, family, or business partners.

  15. Enable option to untar/decompress tar[.gz] archives

    Uploading a lot of files is not efficient. At least in my experience, it might take days to upload 10K+ small files distributed in multiple directories.

    Would it be possible to allow the user to decompress/untar uploaded single/multiple .tar archives ? This might help uploading data faster (multiple files in a tar archive). Implied is I guess an increased file size limit.

  19. It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first.

    It is a security flaw to have to make a share document link public without being able to set the password and expiration date first. This is a very important feature for your privacy-focused target audience, so it doesn't make sense to hide it in the settings and FORCE the user to make their private data public during the set up phase. It should be on the share screen and very obvious. In fact, you can make a whole separate option so that it is mutually exclusive with the publically accessible link toggle.
