Use a more widely known document format (.docx, .odt…) instead of .protondoc
I recently tried to edit a document offline with OnlyOffice from my Proton Drive folder (synced with my account), and to my surprise I found that the document wasn’t supported because its format was .protondoc !
Moreover, when I save a Word document as .docx on my computer and then edit it online, a second document is created in the .protondoc format, and again it can’t be edited with OnlyOffice because the format isn’t recognized !
Why doesn’t Proton use a more common format? Is this a constraint of end‑to‑end encryption?

Show folder size.
It is basically useless when you are informed that your drive is reaching its limit and you can not ascertain which folder/s are using the most 'space'.
The only way to find out what's "hogging up" drive space is to have to individually drill down into each folder and see what size the files are.
Extremely and utterly frustrating, especially when you have tens/hundreds of folders, and in this day and age of 'internet functionality' it's like stepping back into the 80's as the only way to find out what's using up space is to check each file.
Frustrated.

Speed Improvements For Photos
The Photos Feature is pretty cool. I don't do much with my photos, and I'm so close to just switching to it as my primary photos app (Just use it as a backup right now). However, the very slow speed of the photos loading when scrolling through is just unusable. I don't know what exactly causes it to be slow, but my guess would be the encryption. Perhaps use a faster standard like Ente does. Thank you for your time!

Proton Docs text formatting
There is currently no option to format paragraph or line spacing, which would make Proton Docs much more useful in my personal and professional life. Because there is no option to, I find myself returning to other vendors with similar products. Please bring better text formatting to ProtonDocs!

More storage capacity with Proton Unlimited
500GB storage capacity for Proton Unlimited is nowadays quite limited. Since Proton Duo offers 2TB storage, it would be reasonable for Proton Unlimited to have 1TB storage capacity.

Add a ruler to Proton Docs
Please add a horizontal ruler similar to Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
A ruler is extremely useful for adjusting paragraph indents, first-line indents, hanging indents, tabs, and the usable width of a document.
Without a ruler, it is difficult to precisely reproduce formatting when moving documents such as resumes from Google Docs to Proton Docs.

Photo album shared link support
Please add shared link support to Photo albums so albums can be shared with non-Proton users.
Drive already offers shared link support for files, folders and individual photos, but shared links for albums is a feature gap.

Feature request: Full Proton Drive Photos export with albums
Hello Proton Support Team,
A complete export feature for Proton Drive Photos is essential.
Users should be able to download all photos and videos in one operation while preserving original quality, metadata, album names, and album organization.
At present, exporting albums manually one by one is too restrictive and makes data portability difficult. For a privacy-focused service, users must be able to retrieve all their data easily without losing years of organization.
Please treat this feature as a priority.
Best regards,

Support for syncing multiple Proton Drive accounts on same machine
Having multiple proton accounts, ie personal and business, currently only allows one of those accounts to sync Proton Drive to folders on a single machine. Need to have the ability for Proton Drive to handle different accounts with different syncing structure.

Photo deduplication feature
The Drive does not mind importing photos multiple times, even though being advertised differently.
Examples:
- exact same name, created date, but different last modified date => 2 copies.
- modified photo on iPhone => 2 copies (not 1 photo with two different states)
- importing the same photo from multiple sources => multiple copiesThis is driving me crazy, as I want to have a single version of a single photo and don't want to waste my time merging etc. The switch to Proton was supposed to be simple.

Search within folder
Search function to be restricted to the folder currently in. Global search should not be the only option. Many file arrangements have similar names or even the same ones, in different folders.

Multi-selection for dropdown menus in Sheets
Only one selection can be made for dropdown menus. In Google Drive, multi-selection is possible. I need this option to make the switch.

Find and replace
I was trying Proton docs for an university's homework since a mate and I realized it wasn't possible to "find and replace all" on Proton docs. We had to download and work local

Automatic file backup on Android (for documents/files)
Photos already auto-backup, but documents and other files still need to be uploaded manually. Please add automatic file backup for Android — let users select folders to sync in the background.
This matters. If someone loses their phone, gets robbed, or the device breaks, those files are gone. Manual upload means people forget or delay, and by the time something happens, it's too late.
Would really help make Proton Drive a true Google Drive replacement.

Proton Drive storage add ons
Add the option to purchase proton drive storage add ons, like how Google and Apple lets you buy more cloud storage.
For example, I am a proton unlimited user and we only get 500GB of storage. Adding the option to buy an extra 100GB, 500GB or even 1TBs will let users add more storage to their proton account without having to upgrade to Duo, Family or Business. The pricing will have to be fair.
