Improved Trash UX (Photo Previews & Bulk Selection)
Photo previews in trash: The deleted photos in trash appear like a file directory with a very small thumbnail that loads very slowly. And i can't preview them on web. I would like to see the trash folder look exactly like a media gallery and display large clear thumbnails of every photo or video that's deleted and that can be opened.
(Google photos has these features)
Multiple selection: On the mobile app you have to delete each item individually from the trash to erase it permanently which makes deleting multiple photos very time consuming. Bulk selection of photos in trash…

Email-2-drive for automatic attachment file storing
It would be very (!) handy to use a email address as a file collector for Drive. So "all white listed senders are allowed to send messages with attachments to a unique email address (linked to Drive) and Drive automatically saves the attachment to a specific folder.
Even better: Lumo intellegence applied to give the file a content based file name such as "yyyymmdd Tax application 2026 Company".
That email address can be also used by a scanner for an fast document process from hard copy letter to pdf file in Drive. Also SaaS as Atlassian Jira use these email-2-issue…

Allow external apps to connect to Proton Drive for things like backups
It would be nice to be able to, on third-party apps, use Proton Drive for things like backups, if the app supports it, but in a secure way.
The way it could work is that supported apps could have a "Connect to Proton Drive" button, and then you would be redirected to Proton to login and connect.
BUT, instead of giving apps access to all your Drive, each app would have its own folder, that the user can explore and edit if needed (with a new External apps menu in Drive, next to My Files, Computers, and Photos etc), where…

Bring Back Upload Rate
Proton Drive changed the UI/UX of file uploads. This change removed the MB/s indicator on the right of the file name in the upload menu on the bottom right of the page. This post requests the Proton Drive Team to re-add the indicator for the upload rate for the files.
Currently, only the total MB uploaded / total MB to be uploaded is shown for each file.6 votes -
Using Drive for Photos albums in efficient way - smart and fast uploads
Using Drive for albums efficiently means, in my opinion, this: I go to the Photos section, then to Albums in P.Drive, click on upload folder, and select one folder on my PC, for example, "July 2025 trip to London", and Drive loads all the whole album at once, including all photos and videos, to the Albums section without any problems, with the same file name I've already given it. But today it's not able to do this. What's the point of having a photo slideshow app if I can't upload them easily and efficiently?

pure Video Links without Download option
I'd like to share my videos without making them downloadable. The download button should be optional.
When the shared link is clicked, the video should start playing directly in full screen.
Inexperienced users, and especially older users, won't realize they need to tap the (gray) button.
It should be as simple as possible.

Same folder option for copying documents
When we click to copy a document in a drive folder it brings up the pop-up menu with these options: My Files, Computers, Shared With Me. Could a fourth option be added: Same Folder? So that it would make the copy right in the same folder and we wouldn't have to click through the tree menu to get back to that folder.

Docs Integration with Obsidian
Integrate Proton Docs with Obsidian so they can be accessed and edited from Obsidian. Both use Markdown and both are loved by the community. All it takes is a Obsidian plugin which creates a "Proton" folder and syncs it.

All photos available offline
I want to use Proton Drive as a replacement for my phone gallery. Therefore, I want my photos to appear in the app instantly and not only after uploading. Also, I want all photos to be available offline, because I want to view photos without a network connection.
My client: Proton Drive Android

FSP (File Storage Provider) support for iOS and iPadOS
There is support for FSP on macOS for Proton Drive, however it is missing for both iOS and iPadOS. The consequence is that I cannot add a Proton folder as location in for example iA Writer. The net effect is that any file stored on Proton Drive that I want to open, must be manually found through browsing from the root of my Proton Drive. With FSP support on iOS and iPadOS any folder should be available immediately in the interface.
The missing part in the implementation is full folder sharing support in said protocol.
It works flawlessly on macOS.…

Allow realtime updating of an open file via Proton Drive.
I would REALLY love to replace Microsoft OneDrive with Proton Drive. The one thing that's preventing me from doing that, though, is as a writer, OneDrive's ability to save/backup a Word document while I have it open and am working on it is crucial. If you could figure out a way for Proton Drive to do this, I'd be all over it.

# 0102 Dynamic “Topic Map” collections. Virtual “Topic Map” collections that aggregate tagged items
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Introduce dynamic virtual collections (called “Topic Maps”) that automatically gather all files/folders sharing a given tag, regardless of their physical location.
Why it matters:
- Users can view all assets related to a project or theme in one place without reorganising folders.
- Teams can quickly audit completeness of a deliverable set (e.g., “all assets tagged ‘Game‑Launch‑Q3’”).
- Mirrors the “smart playlist” concept many users already know from music apps.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a tag is created, generate a virtual folder view that pulls in every item with that…

Show full thumbnail in Photos preview
The photo album view is nice. It would be even nicer if it was possible to show landscape as landscape and portrait as portrait instead of having everything in portrait (cutting edges off landscape photos). With this setting the landscape photos would be equally tall as portrait photos but wider than portraits. There will probably be some white space left on the right with this view, but I think it would look nicer. Maybe have an option to show smaller thumbnails as well.

Toggle date stamp on photos
Back in the day, when browsing through photo albums, all photos had the date stamp when it was taken in yellow letters in the lower left (was it) corner. It would be nice to have that feature so user can toggle this on. It is very nice to have when browsing through photos in browser especially (because of the larger screen).

Bring back functionality with Mail
Until recently, Drive worked with Mail in the Proton ecosystem. Now, to add an attachment to iOS Mail, one needs to first transfer a file from Drive to iCloud to be able to attach it. This breaks the entire functionality between the two apps in the same ecosystem. Please bring back the ability to attach documents from Drive to Mail.

Proton Sheets - Zoom Function
When using Microsoft Word, at the bottom right corner is an ability to zoom in and out using a percent.
For example, when dragging the slider from 100% to 125%, the Word document zooms bigger.
Can this be added to Proton Sheets?2 votes -
resuming aborted downloads/uploads
Due to instable wifi, it happens that my connection breaks when doing some bigger transfers. That's why I also voted for the speed limit cap elsewhere in this community. When my connection breaks, transfers are aborted and started all over again, instead of resuming after the connection is established again. Because of this, I cannot tranfer files of some gigabytes. I hope you can make Proton Drive more mature by implementing a kind of download manager, pausing and resuming transfers, instead of restarting complete files. Thanks you.
