Proton Sheets - Remove label padding
Currently the tab labels add a lot of padding so that for example the labels A, B, C, D, ... are spread across the screen and you must scroll left/right if you have a lot of tabs. I would prefer it to be like Excel where you can make very small tabs by using short labels.

Bug - Date Selection in Proton Sheets via Calendar Selection broken
There is a Bug with Proton Sheets (Non-US based location) where when you double-click a date cell and attempt to change it via the drop down calendar selection box, it will mix up the day and month selection and give you the wrong date (I imagine it is mixing up day/month in the order due to a mixup between US and European date formats, juggling mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy respectively).
Example:
I begin with a "Long Date" date format in my cell and have:
Thursday, January 1 2026
I then double click to bring up the calendar drop down and select the 6th of January. This updates the cell to be:
Monday, June 1 2026
The logic is taking the input of 6/1/2026 (Non-US format) from my calendar selection and translating it into the US format, giving me June 1st, not January 6th.
Further when I select a date above the 12th (out of bounds month in the US format) it breaks the logic and it gives me a slash/separated non-date result.
So from my new date of Monday, June 1 2026, I select June 18th from the calendar drop down and get:
18/6/2026
This result appears on the left-hand side of the cell, no longer indicated to be a date, it appears to be plain text. Double clicking does not bring up the date calendar. As such it appears to have broken the logic and ceased to be a date.

# 0101 Tag‑based grouping. Topic Map based grouping(tags)for files/folders in Proton Drive
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add free‑form tags (Topics or controlled vocabularies such as AAT) that can be attached to any file or folder. Photos included.
Why it matters:
- Most users and certainly the professionals often have assets spread across many project folders; tags let them locate related items without moving files.
- Tags act as lightweight metadata, enabling better project tracking and reporting.
- Proton Mail already uses labels; extending a similar concept to Drive creates a consistent experience across the Proton suite.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Store tags as encrypted metadata on the client side, preserving zero‑knowledge.
- Add an “Add Tag” option in the file‑context menu.
- Support bulk‑tagging by selecting multiple items → “Add Tag”.
- Take into account later Topic Map extensions like Occurrences and Associations
Thank you for considering this addition. I’m happy to provide more details or test a prototype.
Best,
Mat Huppertz(Part of a series of related suggestions – see #0101, #0102, #0103, #0104, #0105, #0106, #0107)

File history should show previous file names after renaming
When I open file history, I can’t see previous file names.
For example: yesterday a file was named “Document X”. Today I accidentally renamed it to “Document Y”. In file history, this rename is not reflected at all — I only see the current name.
This is a serious problem. I accidentally mixed up documents, edited one, then renamed it. Now I can’t tell which part of a case this file originally belonged to, because the old name is completely lost in history.
Please include previous file names in file history. Rename events are just as important as content changes, especially when working with many similar documents.

Please add a native Kanban board feature (Trello alternative)
Now that Proton Drive has Docs and Sheets, a native Kanban project board is the missing piece to our daily workflows. Millions of privacy conscious users are stuck using Trello, Notion, or Asana because we have no choice, but those platforms track everything we do.
Please give us a card based project tracker (Kanban board) directly in Proton Drive. Help the community finally break away from Atlassian and Google entirely so we can manage our actual daily tasks inside one secure awesome platform.

photos.proton.me
As a moving user from Google to Proton and as a android user, I frequently use the photos.google.com to quickly access the google photos web site and get on my computer pictures I took on my smartphone.
Could you please create a entry in your dns photos.proton.me that redirects to https://drive.proton.me/photos .
This little redirect will offer a direct link to user's photos and will bypass 2 heavy clicks...thanks

Keyboard shortcut to toggle between Grid layout and List layout
The names of files and folders presented in grid layout often are truncated and users are unable to see the full name of the file. This is generally solved by switching to list view, but when list view is no longer necessary to view the names of the items, the user would have to switch back to grid view.
Create a keyboard shortcut, for example Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + L or something equally intuitive, to toggle between these two layouts.
There is also room for creating additional shortcuts for a better UX. For example, typing directly to the Search drive text field could be accomplished using Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F.

Upload selection of photos to Drive Photos (iOS)
In the Drive iOS app, I can only sync my entire photos library with Proton Drive Photos. I would like to be able to upload selected photos instead.
In the upper right corner of the web app, there’s the ”+ upload photos” link. But this is not there in the iOS app. The workaround for now is to exit the iOS app and upload photos via web.

Create an option 'Store All Files Locally / Optimise Space' in Drive
Having the ability to store by default all files locally is crucial to be able to create Backups. Otherwise, my automatic back-up system of my computer won't be able to copy all files in my Proton Drive folder.
Let's create two options in the parameters :
- Keep all files locally

Branded download pages for Drive
Hi Team and Community,
As a professional delivering files on the daily, I'd love to see the introduction of a customisable and branded landing page for shared files à-la-WeTransfer, allowing professionals to remain on-brand and professional for file deliveries using Proton Unlimited or other paid tiers (for Drive).
I'm thinking of graphic designers, agencies, photographers, but every B2B/B2C business could benefit from this seemingly easy-to-implement feature.
Suggestions include :
- a custom URL tail,
- adding a background,
- adding a logo,
- adding contact info / socials.Big bonus if you somehow figure out how to let us customise that to use a subdomain such as files.domainname.com or proton.domainname.com, that'd be absolutely terrific.
Thank you very much for the great work.
p.s. I searched different keyword to see if the idea had been submitted, but couldn't see anything close. My bad if I failed to notice the proper thread.

Download and Upload speed limiter
In EU most of the countries has bad internet over ASDL, so limiting upload and download speed while syncing files is important, because to big upload can kill whole home network download and vice versa. For example on speed asdl like I have I can upload 2000Kb/s but without limit it can go up to 2300kb/s which kills my internet connection. So I can only use cloud disks which had these limiters build in. For example, Mega, Dropbox, OneDrive and Tresorit has it, but not proton.

Add download permission and update already existing permission
- https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/43675374-share-upload-folder-link Folder sharing is nice but it would be nicer if:
There should be these permissions for folders:
Edit - download, upload, view, edit files in the folder (like proton docs, spreadsheets);
View only - no download, no upload, only view, no edit;
Upload only - no download, no view, upload, no edit;
Upload and download - upload, view, download, no edit of the files in the folder (like proton docs, spreadsheets).There should be these permissions for docs:
Edit - download, view, edit
View only - no download, only view, no edit;There should be these permissions for other files not supported to edit (videos, music etc):
Edit - download, view
View only - no download, only view.- You could add a download permission as a slider, the same way as there is a parameter for a link duration or password. If you revoke the permission for download the file cannot be download. If you assign it, it can be download. It could be shown only when selecting edit permission. Then Upload only and Upload and download can be merged into Upload and view and Only upload and the download permission can be toggleable.
All permissions should be clearly explained with info icons next to what they grant. I didn't know that edit permission for folders lets you to upload files until I found the suggestion above and the admin's comment. For example edit permission for videos doesn't give any difference from view only.

Recovery of Proton Docs and Sheets
Please allow recovery of Proton Docs and Sheets when moved off Proton Drive. I dragged a few Proton Docs and Sheets from Drive onto my desktop, only to learn that now the data is lost per customer service. Uploading the files back to Proton Drive should logically be able to open them. It's extremely strange and disappointing that no warning is given when moving files off Proton Drive, and found nothing about this issue in the Proton Docs documentation online.
