1. Synology NAS Cloud Sync

   I miss the capability to connect my ProtonDrive with my Synology NAS by CloudSync or Hyper Backup. This would be one of the last disadvantages compared to conventional cloud providers

2. Zotero for Proton Docs

   It would be great if there was a way to use Zotero with the new Docs in Proton Drive, similar to the existing Google Docs plugin.
   The ability to connect one's bibliographic reference database from Zotero would greatly facilitate the management of references in scientific and other publications.
   This is a well-known request from the community that uses both Proton Docs and Zotero : https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/117432/plug-in-for-proton-docs
   Thank you for considering this proposal.

3. Tags or labels for files and folders

   I would love to have the ability to better organize my files in Proton Drive by using labels or tags, independently from folders.
   For example, being able to tag a file as both “Project A” and “Budget” would make it much easier to find and group related items across different folders.

   This feature already exists in Proton Mail and works wonderfully for organizing emails by topic or context — it makes daily use much more efficient.
   Having a similar labeling system in Proton Drive would greatly enhance productivity, search, and overall organization, especially for users managing multiple projects or shared files.

   In short, tags would bring flexibility that traditional folder structures can’t provide, while staying true to Proton’s privacy-first philosophy.

4. set print area in sheets

   Great work on docs and sheets, they look great so far.

   In Sheets I'd like to see a set print area function. I have many sheets where I only want to print out certain areas and I currently can't do that (unless I'm being blind?).

   Many thanks.

5. plain text editting

   Proton Docs need the ability to edit simple, plain text files. Ideally, one should be given the option to open text files as text regardless of extension, as long as they are actual plain text files.

   This will give the option to have and be able to edit a bunch of file types that can make proton drive more useful and versatile. For example, one can have a markdown notes folder in proton drive, or even a text-based database, or simply take some simple notes and sync across devices.

   It does not need to have any complex features or even syntax highlighting/rendering stuff, even though it would be nice to eg be able to have syntax highlighting for markdown or json etc. Just being able to edit one's personal, plain text files on the phone or web apps would already be a huge improvement.

6. 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.

7. Open/edit md/docx/odt files in Proton Drive without creating a separate Proton Docs file

   As above, it seems strange that you can open files in Proton Docs, but a new file is created (pdoc) instead of amending the original file. Google drive allows for editing of docx and excel files from the drive without creating a separate doc. Clearly outline in your documentation that a new file is created to avoid confusion. This would also help in the future with integration of proton drive clients and seamless integration with file managers like on windows. I can amend files on pdrive on my windows machine but i cannot do so on my phone or using the drive online.

8. Deploy the new Euro Office suite into Drive

   With the launch yesterday of Euro Office (a new fork of OnlyOffice) can it be deployed into Proton Drive to give an alternative to Proton Docs. The current Docs and Sheets deployment is severely lacking in features, uses a proprietry file format which goes against protons ethos, and renders document editing impossible outside of the proton ecosystem, going as far as to force another proprietry file form (docx/xlsx) if you download it without even pausing to think about letting us use open formats.

   Dev work would be minimal, as the system is already built and available for free: https://github.com/Euro-Office

9. Proton Docs: Increase File Size Limit

   I have some documents with a lot of images that I'd like to migrate to Proton Docs, and they far exceed the current limit. It'd be nice if the size of the docs could be only limited by how much Proton Drive storage I have left (which is hundreds of GB), instead of 25 MB per doc.

10. Separate forums for Docs / Sheets / Photos

    I reviewed all 34(!) pages of Proton Drive suggestions, for possibly making a suggestion on core Proton Drive functionality (user groups)... it is too much preparation before making a suggestion.

    I propose to create 3 new forums, for Docs, Sheets and Photos respectively. There is some amount of duplicate suggestions too.

11. Proton Drive CLI: Content-aware conflict detection for `filesystem upload -c merge`

    Implement content-aware (checksum-based) conflict detection in the merge mode so that byte-identical files are skipped, avoiding redundant uploads, storage duplication, and version history pollution.

    Problem

    The Proton Drive CLI (filesystem upload -c merge) resolves file conflicts by filename only, not by file content. This means byte-identical files (matching checksums) are re-uploaded as new revisions instead of being recognized as unchanged and skipped.

    Reproduction

    1. Set up a local directory ~/test with files
    2. Have corresponding /my-files/test on Proton Drive containing some identical files
    3. Run: proton-drive filesystem upload -c merge ~/test /my-files
    4. Files with identical SHA1 hashes are uploaded again as new revisions

    Expected behavior

    Files with matching checksums should be detected as unchanged and skipped. Only files with different content should create new revisions.

    Actual behavior

    All files in the target directory are uploaded regardless of content match. Version history shows duplicate entries with identical hashes, and storage is consumed redundantly (e.g., one ~4.38 MB file stored twice).

    Impact

    • Unnecessary storage consumption (duplicate revisions for identical content)
    • Cluttered version history with meaningless duplicate entries
    • Wasted bandwidth on re-uploading unchanged files
    • Poor sync efficiency, especially for large directories with many unchanged files

13. Google Takeout Import Tool for Proton Drive

    Dear Proton Team,

    I’d like to propose a new feature for Proton Drive: a dedicated Google Takeout Import Tool to streamline the process of importing data from Google Photos exports while correctly respecting the photo/video timeline.

    ---

    🛠️ Issue

    When importing videos from a Google Photos Takeout archive (photos are mostly ok), Proton Drive currently sets the file’s date based on the filesystem timestamp (e.g., when the .mp4 file was downloaded), rather than using the actual creation date stored in the accompanying .json metadata files.

    This leads to incorrect chronological ordering and loss of accurate historical context—especially for older media and large libraries.

    ---

    ✅ Suggested Solution

    Introduce a Google Takeout Import Tool in Proton Drive that:

    • Detects and parses .json metadata files included with Google Photos exports
    • Extracts photoTakenTime or creationTime values
    • Applies the correct created timestamp to the corresponding media file (photo or video)

    This ensures accurate and consistent date metadata across all imported files.

    ---

    📦 Example

    Let’s say I have these two files in my Takeout folder:

    • VID_20170621_122134.mp4
    • VID_20170621_122134.json

    With the json file having the following content:

    {
      "title": "VID_20170621_122134.mp4",
      "creationTime": {
        "timestamp": "1498044094",
        "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
      },
      "photoTakenTime": {
        "timestamp": "1498044094",
        "formatted": "2017-06-21T12:21:34.000Z"
      }
    }
    

    When I upload a video to Proton Drive, it should use the PhotoTakenTime from the accompanying JSON file as the creation date. Without proper handling of these JSON files, the file download date (e.g., July 2, 2025) is used instead—resulting in an inaccurate and cluttered timeline. This mainly affects videos, as photos generally retain metadata better. A dedicated import tool is especially important for users migrating years of content from Google Photos.

    ---

    🎯 Benefit

    Adding this import tool would:

    • Preserve the original timeline of a user's photo/video history
    • Improve sorting and searching by date
    • Offer a smoother transition for users migrating from Google services

    ---

    Thanks for your continued focus on privacy and usability. I hope this feature can be considered for a future update so I can fully switch my Google Photo library to Proton Drive.

14. Upload Photo Folders Directly as Albums

    Allow users to upload an entire folder of photos directly into the Albums section so the folder is preserved as a single album. Currently, uploading a folder imports only the individual photos and removes the album structure, requiring each photo to be manually added back into an album. Preserving the folder-to-album structure during upload would significantly improve organization and save time.

20. Decouple Proton Drive from Proton's default email address

    As I understand it, Proton Drive uses the encryption key of the default email address in your Proton account to keep your drive volume end-to-end encrypted. From my perspective as a user, this poses a significant design issue, as it presents several problems:

    • You cannot accept invitations to collaborate on folders or documents sent to an email that isn't the original email address used to encrypt your drive. The invitation will still appear in the Proton Drive app as pending, but you won't ever be able to accept it. Therefore, collaboration is no longer privacy-friendly, as you may need to expose your primary email to people you don't want to share it with.

    • There isn't a way to change the address associated with Proton Drive; the only solution offered by Proton's support is to wipe your volume and recreate it with a new address. However, this would require you to download all the content first and then re-upload it to the new volume.

    • The email address you used to create your Drive account is exposed, even in files shared with a public link. You don't have the option to hide your email when sharing files or choose an alias instead, defeating the mission of Proton.

    The email address of the Proton Drive account should be configurable and not default to the account's email, allowing the user to change the email address when needed. Until this is solved, Proton Drive is a broken solution for most advanced users seeking private and collaborative cloud storage.

    For example, one user may start using Proton with a default address using one of the Proton domains (example@proton.me) and later decide to change it to use their own domain (example@example.com). This user won't be able to use Proton Drive normally anymore after switching their emails.
