Detail view of Photo Albums
Please allow for a "details" (list) view of Photo albumns. In web view, currently, each album shows a square with an album main photo. I have many albums and would like to just see a list. Thank you.

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.

"Incomplete" Proton Sheets viewer
A complete Proton Sheets would be nice, yet a simple viewer for sheets (.ods, .xls, etc) would be enough for me 30% of the time
An "incomplete" sheet-editor (no calc needed in the first place) might be another simple solution until we have Proton calcit spreadsheets.24 votes -
An option to lock down Drive access on computer
In addition to Proton Drive, I have a premium pCloud account with their encryption option.
If Proton Drive provides a secured online storage with encrypted transfers and encryption at rest, pCloud Encryption provides in addition a mechanism which allows locking the local vault on the computer for sensitive documents.
Sure the computer session has a password but it would be nice to see such a complimentary option for Drive. I believe pCloud opens up some sort of virtual network drive. I don't know if Proton Drive does the same thing and if the current implementation would enable this.The Proton Pass extension does offer the ability to setup a pin code.

Paste Markdown into Docs
You support copying from Docs as Markdown. But copying markdown into Docs doesn't convert it to formatted text—it stays in markdown, making it hard to read.
Please extend copying markdown to a two-way - copying from docs as markdown and pasting markdown to docs.
Quite useful if copying from a markdown editor like chatgpt, github or else to Proton Docs

Selective photo backup
Currently all photos are automatically backed up when using the feature. I would like the option to select which photos I think should be backed up when I've made some photos during the day.

Android/Photos: Store separately separate synced folders. Don't intermix Photos with Screenshots.
I miss folders under Photos section. And it would be fine to make their names match folders I selected for sync on phone.
Otherwise my photos and screenshots are all in single Photos folder. And they are too many to sort them manually between "Albums".

Photos in albums: option to sort manually
It would be great to have the option to rearrange the photos in an album into a custom order.
Possible use cases: the time stamp has been messed up, or I'd like to highlight some photos when sharing the album.

IOS 26.1 Background image upload
Apple is providing the ability to upload images in the background in 26.1, can we expect Proton Drive to finally upload pictures in the background?

Proton Sheets - additional basic number formats
In the Czech Republic, spaces are used to separate thousands and a comma is used as the decimal separator (instead of a dot). Would it be possible to add this number formatting behaviour to the document settings?
Eg: 1 000 001,12 (one million two point twelve)
There may also be other national formats out there.

Sort albuns by name
Currently, Albuns are sorted by creation date.
It would be very useful if we could sort them alphabetically.24 votes -
Mobile app - photo upload as files, not photos
Just add a choice in the mobile app to upload photos from my mobile as image files to "My Files" in Proton Drive, instead of forcing upload as photos to use in Albums (which is not accessible through the Windows client). This would give us the option to use a service or not and would also address all "uservoice" posts requesting the images to be accessible from the Windows Explorer.

Dont upload edited Photos from IOS as duplicate
Currently, if i edit a Photo on IOS it uploads to Proton 2 Photos (one original and one Edited). This should not be or be optimised (maybe ask if i want to synch the original or edited Photo). Since i personally edit a lot of Photos, i have lots of Duplicates (and therefore a lot of Space used) in ProtonDrive

Proposal to Add Version Control System (VCS) Support to Proton Drive
Dear Proton Drive Development Team,
I hope this message finds you in good time. First of all, I'd like to thank Proton Drive for the excellent services it offers. Your commitment to security, privacy, and ease of use, in particular, makes your platform indispensable for many users.
However, I have a suggestion for a feature that could be added to Proton Drive for software developers: Version Control System (VCS) Support.
Why Would VCS Support Be an Opportunity for Proton Drive?
Version control has become a fundamental tool in the software development process. It allows teams to efficiently manage their projects, track changes, and collaborate. Platforms like Git, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket are widely used in the software development world, but the strong security features and user-friendly architecture offered by Proton Drive create a significant opportunity to offer a unique solution in this area.
Proton Drive provides a secure and scalable work environment by providing a centralized version control system for software developers, while ensuring efficient file sharing with high security and privacy standards.
Key Features Offered with VCS Integration
Adding VCS support to Proton Drive can offer the following powerful features:
Version History: By storing each version of files, it will be possible to track past changes and revert to older versions if necessary.
Branching & Merging: Enables teams to work in parallel and ensures seamless integration of changes into the main project.
Upload and Push Operations: Users upload their changes to a central repository and track change history, ensuring a streamlined workflow.
Team Collaboration and Security: Integrating with Proton Drive's existing security features, you can manage team file access permissions and ensure sensitive data is shared only with authorized individuals.
Tagging and Release Notes: Tags, comments, and release notes can be added to specific versions, simplifying project development tracking and version transitions.
Benefits of VCS Support
Adding VCS support to Proton Drive offers the following benefits:
Secure and Centralized Storage for Developers: Proton Drive allows software developers to store their projects in a secure environment, further strengthening the platform's already robust security infrastructure.
Efficient Collaboration: It makes it easier for teams to work securely on the same projects, enabling efficient collaboration on large and complex projects.
Competitive Advantage: Proton Drive offers not only file storage but also version control support, making it a comprehensive collaboration tool for software development teams.

Please make a photo editor in Drive Photos
A photo editor is really what I need to make the jump from Google Photos.

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 copiesThis 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.

Allow syncing to same folder location for multiple windows/macOs/linux user accounts
I am working with two different user accounts on my windows machine. One for work, one for personal stuff. I want to use the Proton Drive for both accounts. Unfortunately when I tried to set up Proton Drive on the second account to sync with the same folder I got an error message instead:
"Invalid sync folder: The folder must be empty before setting up sync"It wouldn't make any sense to choose a different folder and have everything twice on my computer
Might be related to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50135475-reconnect-desktop-app-to-existing-folder

Proton Docs: Formatting Limitations
Proton Docs lacks advanced formatting capabilities compared to Google Docs, making it unsuitable for professional documents. Essential features are missing: headers/footers, multi-column layouts, footnotes, table of contents, watermarks, and customizable paragraph styles. This forces users to choose between privacy and professional presentation quality. Proton should prioritize implementing these formatting tools to become a viable alternative for privacy-conscious professionals.
