  2. Non-Pageless Design for Proton Docs

    I really want to switch from Google to Proton for everything, as I am concerned about the surveillance of the modern tech era and would like to be more privacy-driven. Unfortunately, I can’t use Proton Docs for very much, though, because the professional writing features are severely limited. Personally, my priority would be adding Page Breaks to Proton Docs. This is for a few reasons:

    1) It would help students/professionals who have page requirements in their work, or anyone who wants to know how much they’ve written

    2) It would show a clear separation between distinct ideas, chapters, etc.

  3. 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?

  4. 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…

  6. While in album: option to delete photo from album OR from drive.

    It's much more convenient to select a photo in an album instead of in your complete photo collection.
    So while selecting a photo in an album give te option to delete from album or delete completely.

  8. 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 copies

    This 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.

  10. 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…

  11. Create links for sharing albums to people without requiring their email

    The new albums are cool and all. Unfortunately, when I tried to share it with someone, I had to actually grab their email for that. That's just, kinda silly. We can share pictures with links, but not albums?

  15. 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.

  16. Find Content Across Spreadsheet Tabs

    Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but a couple of things are missing

    Enhance the Find feature
    Give us the option to:
    a) search across all tabs (not just the one active)
    b) search a specific range of text
    c) replace with text
    c1) allow us to either replace just 1 instance or all

  17. Support for the ODF file format when exporting and importing files to Docs and Sheets

    If you support and live open source, you should also support ODF and not just Microsoft's docx/xlsx.
    This makes the ecosystem even larger and allows for more flexible exchange.

  18. Storage optimization- flag duplicate photos to merge or delete

    When I moved my photos over from Google and my phone, I wound up with quite a few duplicates that are taking up significantly more storage than needed. I don't have time to go through and find them all manually. If I remember correctly, Google Photos would gather duplicate photos into a specific folder for you to review and merge/delete the duplicates. This feature would be super useful in the photos portion of Proton Drive.

  19. Link to a Proton Drive File in Proton Sheet

    Request the ability, when creating a link in Proton Sheet, to directly retrieve the link to a file in Proton Drive, not just external links.

    Currently, to do this, we have to create public sharing links for our Proton Drive files, which is both inconvenient and not very secure if we share our Proton Sheet.

  20. Android files sync

    Now we have photo sync, but on windows we could sync files, it will be cool and so useful, if we could sync our files on Android, like notes and other.
