Photo date
Please support photos taken before 1st January, 1970. Currently, these are all bundled together under January 1970 on the iOS Proton Drive app, and cannot be reached at all in a browser. Without this feature, Drive is useless for sharing my father's photos.

View-only link access (prevent download)
Hello,
A drive link version with view-only access is an essential and attainable feature. This is paramount for one-time actions, such as ID verification, where a file must be marked 'verified' by the recipient, but need not be saved.
Yes, the file may be captured as a screenshot, and processed thereafter, but this effort and lower resolution will discourage those who may absentmindedly download the file to keep 'a copy on hand', with no thought to its security.

Improvement in Proton docs and version history
I love how Proton Docs automatically keeps a version history of every change we make to a document. It would be great to give users the option to set the time interval for creating new versions for example, after each edit, after 1 minute, after 2 minutes, and so on.
Currently, when I start a new document, each word I type generates a separate version. This quickly becomes overwhelming, making it hard to scroll back to a useful point in the history. While frequent versioning makes sense during focused editing such as correcting a document someone else sent or making deliberate revisions, it feels unnecessary while I’m simply typing.
Therefore, it would be helpful if the software could aggregate rapid, continuous typing into a single version, while still preserving smaller, intentional edits as individual versions. In other words, the system should detect when I’m typing a lot and bundle those changes together, yet keep distinct versions for deliberate edits.

Drag and drop files into sidebar (Web version)
At the moment (in the web version) one can only drag and drop files from the list of files to a folder in the top bar (My files > folder 1 > Folder 1.1, etc), but I need to be able to drag and drop files directly into folders in the left sidebar.
Another thing important for this feature to work well is to be able to expand the left sidebar, so the entire folder names are displayed.
ps. does this feature exist in the desktop app yet? I'm not using the app yet because my mac is too old...

Backup
I just think, today we have more devices, mobile, tables, computer, notebook. And when enabled backup options on all of this devices all connected has been storage inside one Photos. When you won’t to check, or review you need long time. My suggestion is to have option to credited folder like Mobile inside Files, and inside application settings to have options to set directories where to storage files for that device.

Storage Options - with connecting Directly to NAS Securely
I know now a days Drives and such are expensive and Knowing that so many people are using Proton Services are waiting for more Storage Options. and i don't blame proton AG to limit us of having to much storage its expensive while u have so many people using proton alone and the data that is accumulated over time.
Option - 1: Creating Virtual Connection to NAS setup and displaying it onto the Proton Drive web UI.
- It would be nice to at least see pictures and files mirrored from a NAS to proton Drive rather login into and exposing our NAS over the internet when traveling - now that could be using a secure connection to proton but have a pin or something to login for extra security.Option - 2: with option 1. Having a copy of the file structure that is on the NAS that has the same layout of whats in Proton Drive - Vise-Versa
- also with that having whole NAS Directory like the label "for example: on the web UI Labeled Computers - DIrectory", " - Labeled Photo - Directory and so on. I know that first of all Linux got to Support the Proton Drive - which i have put out there on my wall of ideas
What do you all think - any new or better ideas based on the this subject?

Heading Column for Proton Doc
Proton Doc has multiple heading levels.
Should be there a column on left side for the heading outline?Since the comment column is already on the right, then the heading column should be on the left then.

Proton Sheet public link with expiration and password from Proton Sheet directly.
This one is an easy one, and the title speaks by itself.
With a Proton Drive link, when I create a public link, I have the option to set a password and an expiration date. It is possible to share a Proton Sheet from Proton Drive this way, which is OK, but not from Proton Sheet, which would be even better.3 votes -

Proton Sheets - Automatic Import of Comments
Hi, I really love that Proton Sheets now exists, but I've been using the Comment function in Microsoft Excel a lot, and am desperately missing an automatic import function of all my comments in Excel. Can this feature be added, please?
The comments that I have created in Excel are far too many for inserting them manually, and I would really love to be able to seamlessly continue working with them in Proton Sheets! =)6 votes -
Proton Docs: Integrate Lumo + Increase Docs file size!
It would be nice to ask Lumo while working inside Docs to run spellchecks or change the tone of your text etc.
i was working on a document that has alot of images, and suddenly i get an error that the file was getting too large and i couldnt edit anymore.
It seems that Proton Docs has a limit per document of 25mb, seems a bit low compared to competitors? Now i have to split this thing up in multiple parts.
I dont understand why there would be a size limit when Word is practically unlimited, especially for paying users.

All uploads of any kind should by accessible in My files
The way proton drive fractions everything into incompatible storage areas makes no sense. I just need a folder to store my files, synced across all devices. Depending on how I try to add files they go to:
- a photos bucket that isn't in "My files"
- a "My computer" section that seems to also not be in "My files" (and seems to split things out by device)
- ??? if I try to drag and drop them between two file explorer windows on the local machine
- "My files" if I open the web application and drag them in there (abandoning the Proton Drive application entirely)
Just make a folder, a simple folder. Your photo backups go there in a subfolder (OneDrive uses Camera Roll, but even allows you to specify the path), your device backups go in sub-folders if you specify that for machine specific backups. Otherwise stuff that you put in there is in there...where you put it. Simple. You don't even need a "My files" folder at all, just mount them directly in your specified path for Proton Drive.

Bug report to Proton Support: A shared Proton Doc with view-only permissions displays a blank page
There's a bug in Proton Docs: sharing a Proton Doc with view-only permissions between Proton IDs (direct email invitation, NOT via public link) shows a blank page to the recipient. The only way to view the document is to open its history. This affects both free and paid Proton accounts equally.
Additional Details:
Browsers tested: Firefox, Vivaldi, Edge, Chrome, Mulvard — same blank page result in all
Accounts tested: Multiple Proton accounts (3+ different sender and recipient accounts) — consistent issue
Reproduction steps: Switching sharing permissions from Editor to Viewer in all instances produces the same result
Mobile (Android): Same blank page issue occurs on mobile
Critical finding: On mobile, when opening File Details for a document shared with view-only permissions, it still displays 'Permission: Editor' instead of 'Permission: Viewer' — suggesting the permission change may not be properly applied or recordedWorkaround: Opening the document history allows viewing the content despite the blank page issue.

Extend App compatibility to older Operation Systems
It would be great if you extend the Proton Drive compatibility to older systems (like OSX 12 Monterey). I don't think it would need a significant amount of work and would benefit plenty of people (me included).

Analyze / Sort Files by Size in Proton Drive
Dear Proton Team,
I would like to request a feature that allows users to sort and filter files by size across the entire Proton Drive, not just within individual folders. Currently, it is not possible to view the size of folders or to search for large files efficiently across all folders. This feature would greatly improve the user experience by making it easier to manage storage and identify large files quickly.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards, Sebastian
