Locking files / Hiding files on Proton Drive
I would like Proton Drive to support client-side locked folders that require a secondary authentication step (such as password re-entry, hardware key confirmation, or biometric verification) before file is decrypted when signed in.
This would prevent opportunities for opportunistic individuals to get access to the most sensitive files someone has when their proton drive session is opened.

Auto‑create albums in Proton Drive Android backup
When the Android Gallery backs up photos to Proton Drive, the app currently uploads all images into a flat folder structure. It would be very helpful to have an option that automatically creates albums in Proton Drive that mirror the albums (folders) already defined in the device’s Gallery.
• Detect each existing Gallery album at backup time.
• Create a matching album (folder) in Proton Drive.
• Place the corresponding photos inside that album, preserving the original organization.This would make it easier for users to locate and share grouped photos without having to manually recreate the album hierarchy after the backup.

Allow creating folder-pairs to sync
Allow us to define folder-pairs such that user can select one folder in the local device to pair with a folder on the cloud storage and sync the two, either unidirectionally, or bidirectionally.
This will allow users great flexibility in defining what folders/files they want to sync across their various machines.
Examples of where this has been done effectively: OneSync app on Android, DropSync app on Android.

Enable default auto-format of double hyphens to em dashes in Proton Docs.
As a journalist using Proton Docs for secure drafting, the lack of automatic formatting for em dashes is a significant friction point in my workflow.
In many professional text editors, typing two hyphens automatically converts them to an em dash. This is standard for long-form writing and quoting. I would love to see it in Proton Docs.

Dynamic Data Reference in Proton Sheets
Someone commented on the named range post - the data references need to be dynamic.
I use named ranges and cell references as I am building out sheets from scratch and later rearrange the layout to make it easier for others to use. However, every time I insert a row or column or move the data, the named ranges and/or cell references don't shift with the data.
Please fix this as the data loses its integrity the more the sheet evolves.

Docs: Link to another doc (and auto completion)
I want to use Proton docs as a knowledge base. A key feature I'd like is the ability to easily write links to other documents. This should include page name auto-completion.
With this functionality, we could achieve flexible collaboration with other documentation, making it viable as a replacement for tools like Obsidian.8 votes -
Knowledge Management System
Suggestion: A shareable knowledge management system
As a research student, I find that there are not many knowledgement system that can be used with good privacy, unless doing self-hosting, which is difficult for people without a lot of IT knowledge.

Add text watermarks to existing PDFs and images in Proton Drive
Please add a built-in option in Proton Drive to apply a custom text watermark onto existing PDF and image files (JPG, PNG) that are already stored in Drive.
iOS in particular has no native way to add a text watermark to a PDF or image, so users currently have to install untrusted third-party apps which defeats the privacy purpose. Building this into Proton Drive keeps the entire process inside Proton’s encrypted environment.

Web Client: Upload files alphabetically and by folder
Web Client: Upload files alphabetically and by folder
If you try to upload lots of files and folders in one go using the manual upload feature (My FIles), you might find that your uploads stop or need to be stopped, for any of a million possible reasons.
If a upload of numerous files needs to be "continued", for any reason, it would be helpful if the files were uploaded "in order" so there is a sane way to identify where to pick up from.
Currently, the uploads are done completely randomly across folders, making it impossible to easily select the…

Workbooks (Sheets) Statistic Bar
Both Google Docs and Microsoft have a feature that when you select cells, if they are of the same data type, you will get an average, sum, min, max, and count of total selected cells. This could be across rows, or in columns. This is very helpful if you need a quick sum of fields, without creating a new field to calculate those values.
This value shows up in the very bottom right.

First-class support for XLSX files in
CURRENT SITUATION
Currently, when opening an Excel file from Proton Drive in Proton Sheets, a conversion takes place that makes a copy of the file with filetype 'application/vnd.proton.sheet'.
That means you now have two different versions of the same file, one of which can only be edited in Proton Sheets and one of which can be used in any other spreadsheet application.SUGGESTION
I am aware that Proton Sheets can be exported back to the XLSX format, but I want to request first-class support for XLSX files without conversion. Reasons include:
- Being able to edit my XLSX files locally…4 votes -
Prevent corruption when cutting and pasting proton sheets and docs using windows explorer
If you cut and paste a proton sheet or proton doc using windows explorer, there is a significant risk the file will be corrupted and not open, and that you will lose the version history. Current guidance is to ONLY use the 'Move to folder' button on the web interface. We need to correct this so that Windows Explorer can be used to move proton sheets and proton docs using the cut and paste functions.

Support "Bring Your Own Storage" (BYOS) / Private Storage Nodes
Dear Proton Community and Development Team,
We, the undersigned, propose the introduction of a "Screwdriver Tier" that allows users to leverage Proton's world-class encryption and UI while hosting the physical data on their own hardware. This "Bring Your Own Storage" (BYOS) model would transform Proton into a secure bridge for private infrastructure.
1) The "Screwdriver" (Self-Hosted) Tier:
Private Storage Nodes: Allow users to connect local NAS (Network Attached Storage), home servers, or massive external drives to the Proton Drive ecosystem via an encrypted tunnel.
Proton as the Interface: Use the official Proton Drive web and mobile apps to browse, share,…

iOS: Show PDF document outline / bookmarks for navigation
Please add the document outline pane that reads PDF's bookmarks/outline to the iOS app.
When I open a PDF in the Proton Drive iOS app, I can't access the document's embedded outline (the bookmark tree / table of contents) that most long PDFs ship with. There's no outline or navigation pane anywhere in the viewer, so the only way to move around a document is to scroll.
This makes long PDFs impractical to read inside Proton Drive. Reference documents, manuals, standards, textbooks, and reports all rely on the outline to jump between sections, and without it I have to scroll…

Proton Docs Rename File With Double Click
Currently to rename a file you have open:
- Click the files name which opens a drop down,
- Select "rename document" option.
- Edit the name
I think double clicking the file name should immediately open this edit section instead.
A simple ease of use feature which is common practice for open documents.2 votes
