  1. Sync file deletion between local and cloud storage

    In the proton drive app, you choose folders to sync to the cloud. But when you delete a file from Proton Drive, its local copy is not deleted from your computer. However, when delete a local file, its cloud copy is automatically deleted.

    This can cause problems, for example if you rename or otherwise edit a local file that is in a synced folder but whose cloud copy you have deleted, it's going to create a new cloud copy of it.

    My suggestion: Adding two new toggles in the settings. One that would make it so that when you delete…

  2. Nix package for linux client

    The first step would be making a linux-compatible client (see https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client).

    After that, making it into a nix package would be trivial.

  3. Warn/prohibit use of filenames incompatible with filesystems commonly used on Windows, macOS, Linux.

    Currently Proton drive does not warn when files saved, e.g. in macOS, have filenames incompatible with Windows filesystems. It would be greatly appreciated if a user was warned before the conflict arise when trying to check synchronisation in a different OS.

  4. Search bar for mobile app

    Include search bar for proton drive in the mobile app. Currently, the only way to search my drive is if I open a browser in desktop mode.

  5. Custom styles for docs

    So excited that you're in the docs space now! In order to replace Google Docs, I need custom styles (set and recall Title, Subtitle, H1, H2, normal, etc.) with keyboard shortcuts. 1 up from Google would be the ability to create global style sets that can be applied to any doc.

  6. Shared with me Folder on Mobile app (iOS/Android)

    There's no Shared with me folder on the iOS app, if it's on Web it should be on the mobile app too.

    It would be great to have it as well in the Finder on Mac, for now it just shows my own files but not the ones shared with me

  7. Folders in photos

    I would love the ability to create folders in the photos section of Proton Drive.

    Note that I'm NOT looking for the ability to create albums or tags, but to actually create folders within the photos section as a way of organizing my pictures.

    This was a feature that I used in Dropbox to manage a large amount of photos, and I was frustrated that it wasn't available in Google photos. I'm hoping that you can add it to Proton Drive (along with a smoother docs experience) to make it the best backup offering out there.

  9. A Proton Gallery or Sync?

    What would be more important for Proton Drive right now? A Gallery separate from Drive, since both are different functions, or a synchronization of devices with internal storage (folders)?
    Or even better, a cloud Proton Gallery app that displays all the media from the Proton Drive backup?

    Indeed, a Proton Gallery would be interesting, with options and functions of a normal Gallery and Proton Drive, with offline media viewing and control of media saved online, such as the option to keep multiple versions of a Drive file that could be very useful when editing or changing the media.

    For example:

  10. Proton Gallery, a Cloud Gallery is the future

    We need our own Proton Gallery, separate from Proton Drive, it doesn't make sense to literally have two apps in one, I was using Ente Photos and the app is amazing in what it proposes, much better than Google's 'drive photos', but it's an app with limited functions for now, maybe because it's still in the first version.

    Having a Gallery and a cloud is a dream of Android users, only Apple devices had this function a long time ago, being able to organize and do various things within a cloud is something incredible, unfortunately applications with this ability only…

  11. Sync with QNAP NAS

    What I miss the most on Proton Drive is ability to Sync folders with QNAP NAS. It would be awesome to have Proton Drive as a secure cloud backup storage.

  12. Auto-delete trash in Proton Drive

    Proton Drive's trash bin ought to have an automatic expiry feature similar to the one in Proton Mail. It's not even deleting the things I delete off my computer's backed up folders, I keep having to go in and manually empty trash.

  13. Add a Shared Spreadsheet (like MS Excel) to Proton Drive

    It's great that you guys added a version of Word to Proton Drive, but we also really need a version of Excel. If you could make it a shared version (where more than one person can work in it/edit it at the same time) that would be even better! Please add this.

  15. Support older macOS versions

    Currently, the Proton Drive app for Mac is only compatible with version 13 of macOS (Ventura). However, many Mac users operate older versions and may be unable to upgrade due to hardware constraints (older Macs). From an environmental standpoint, it should be able to keep one's computer for as long as it works, and not be forced to trade up just to be able to access a new feature...

  16. Edit file metadata (including photos)

    Don't need much. Currently, the Photos portion of Drive doesn't have any capability beyond view photo.

    I would like to be able to upload lots of photos and re-arrange them/fix metadata issues.

    Primarily, Windows has taken some of my old photos I've edited/restored and made the Date Modified to today's date, when the photo date taken was 1965. But when I upload to Photos, it appears as today's date.

    I should be able to easily go in and correct these mistakes.

  18. Citation Managers in Proton Docs

    Along with improvements to things like line spacing and line numbering pointed out by other users, an essential feature for academic purposes is the ability to use reference managers like Zotero, Mendeley, etc.

  19. Ability to edit a document (text, SPREADSHEET & PRESENTATION) with a non-proton user

    I was very happy to hear about the document editing feature, it's the killer feature I've been waiting for to switch to ProtonDrive and abandon Kdrive !
    But two disappointments :
    - firstly, there's only a text document editing function and no spreadsheet (excel) or presentation (PowerPoint). I imagine this will come later, but why not rely directly on Onlyoffice?
    - Secondly, it's not possible to use the document editing function with a user who doesn't use protondrive ! This drastically reduces the number of use cases, which is a shame...
    Until at least these two functions are in place,…
