1. Enable importing photos from Google Photos and Apple Photos

   I want to be able to import photos in a batch when moving from Google Photos or Apple Photos as uploading with mobile Drive takes too long with bigger amount of photos and not all photos are in mobile to be uploaded due to memory limitations.

   Pro:
   - Makes moving over easier and faster for everyone

2. Proton Docs: Tables- Adding "Combine / Merge cells" & "Delete cell(s)"

   [Request for Proton Docs: Tables]

   Could you guys consider adding the ability to "combine cells / merge cells" & "delete cell(s)" for Tables in Proton Documents?

   This feature would be extremely helpful for:

   I. Notetaking- creating more customizable & legible tables that can quickly & easily be referenced again in the future.

   II. I ask Lumo a lot of "How-to" questions & found that pasting Lumo's responses directly into Proton Docs works well bc the text copy-pastes over pretty close to its source-formatting.

   To create a Header Row with only one Column Header cell intact (eg, In a 3-column table, keeping the leftmost Column Header cell intact & deleting the center & rightmost Column Header cells).

   III. To create one merged row of cells (eg, in the 4th row of a 3-column table with 10 rows).

   IV. To merge/combine two adjacent row cells together for simplification to make it easier to reference the table data in the future.

   I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you!
   And, Happy New Year, Proton! =)

3. 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.

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 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.

5. 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.

6. Delete current photo in the web app

   Add a "Delete" button to the single photo view in the Proton Drive web app.

   If I have several similar photos and want to keep just one of them and delete all others, I need to close the current photo, find it again in the photo list view (which can be a hard task if the photos are very similar) and delete it from there instead of just clicking "Delete" for the specific photo.

7. Heading (chapter) navigation

   I make documents with lots of chapters, which I use headings for. There should be an outline or heading select to more easily navigate the document.
   Also, when hyperlinking text, I should be able to link to a header in that same doc so I can make my own table of contents (so people reading .pdf can also navigate easily).

   Finally, it'd be nice if we could save our own custom heading styles in some way.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. local album to proton album

    The new Albums are awesome, however having to manage albums in my phone gallery and proton manually is a major design flaw. Please make it so one can sync specific local folders to proton-folders automatically, so they can be shared. This slightly cuts into this: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/49920087-shared-photo-library

11. 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.

12. Proton music

    Just like you have a section for your Proton photos, you should have a section for your Proton music, because most of us have to listen to our downloaded music from YouTube Music, Dizer and Sportifay. To avoid this and to maintain folder optimization, most of us need Proton music.

    b) search a specific range of text
    c) replace with text

17. 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.

19. 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.
