Preserve albums from device
I backup my photos from my phone onto Proton Drive. However, the albums that the photos are in on my phone are not preserved on Proton Drive. Instead, they are just dumped into one place. This, unfortunately, makes the photos pretty much unusable, because they are a nightmare to look through all mixed up.
I already have placed my photos into sensible albums on my phone. I should not have to redo that on Proton Drive. Without this feature, I have to use another service for photo backups.

Archive photos on the Library function of Proton Drive
Is a killer feature for my use case and it's the possibility of selecting a photo and send it to a separate album called Archive that hides it from my photos timeline to keep private when I'm sharing my gallery to others.
I could access the Archive with a separate password or also just reusing FaceID or any other authentication method.

Email-2-drive for automatic attachment file storing
It would be very (!) handy to use a email address as a file collector for Drive. So "all white listed senders are allowed to send messages with attachments to a unique email address (linked to Drive) and Drive automatically saves the attachment to a specific folder.
Even better: Lumo intellegence applied to give the file a content based file name such as "yyyymmdd Tax application 2026 Company".
That email address can be also used by a scanner for an fast document process from hard copy letter to pdf file in Drive. Also SaaS as Atlassian Jira use these email-2-issue feature.

Bring Back Upload Rate
Proton Drive changed the UI/UX of file uploads. This change removed the MB/s indicator on the right of the file name in the upload menu on the bottom right of the page. This post requests the Proton Drive Team to re-add the indicator for the upload rate for the files.
Currently, only the total MB uploaded / total MB to be uploaded is shown for each file.6 votes -

pure Video Links without Download option
I'd like to share my videos without making them downloadable. The download button should be optional.
When the shared link is clicked, the video should start playing directly in full screen.
Inexperienced users, and especially older users, won't realize they need to tap the (gray) button.
It should be as simple as possible.

Same folder option for copying documents
When we click to copy a document in a drive folder it brings up the pop-up menu with these options: My Files, Computers, Shared With Me. Could a fourth option be added: Same Folder? So that it would make the copy right in the same folder and we wouldn't have to click through the tree menu to get back to that folder.

Proton Docs: Convert Case
I would like a feature to change the case of selected text. For example, change "I have a dog named Bruno" to:
- all caps ("I HAVE A DOG NAMED BRUNO")
- all lower case ("i have a dog named bruno")
- title case ("I Have a Dog Named Bruno")

Proton Photos ios local download
At the moment, on iPhone or iPad with Proton Drive Photos, you can only select individual pictures and make them available to other photo apps locally on the device by using the share function and “Save Image.” However, if you currently select more than one picture, this function is no longer available. It would be very helpful to have the option in the future to save multiple pictures or entire albums locally.

Proton Drive meets Git
HiDrive allows turning folders into Git repositories, which is very helpful. It would be great to see a similar feature in Proton Drive — the ability to initialise Git repositories inside folders, with basic access via HTTPS/SSH. This would make Proton Drive even more useful for developers and advanced users.

Would be nice to not have every tool pop out into a new tab.
Please add the option to not pop out application into new tabs. Would be nice to have a home screen where you can switch through all application within one browser tab. For instance, make mail the home screen and have the other apps located on the side bar, then all you have to do is switch between the applications.

Allow realtime updating of an open file via Proton Drive.
I would REALLY love to replace Microsoft OneDrive with Proton Drive. The one thing that's preventing me from doing that, though, is as a writer, OneDrive's ability to save/backup a Word document while I have it open and am working on it is crucial. If you could figure out a way for Proton Drive to do this, I'd be all over it.

# 0102 Dynamic “Topic Map” collections. Virtual “Topic Map” collections that aggregate tagged items
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Introduce dynamic virtual collections (called “Topic Maps”) that automatically gather all files/folders sharing a given tag, regardless of their physical location.
Why it matters:
- Users can view all assets related to a project or theme in one place without reorganising folders.
- Teams can quickly audit completeness of a deliverable set (e.g., “all assets tagged ‘Game‑Launch‑Q3’”).
- Mirrors the “smart playlist” concept many users already know from music apps.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a tag is created, generate a virtual folder view that pulls in every item with that tag.
- Display the virtual collection in a new “Topics” pane on the left side of the Drive UI.
- Ensure the collection respects the most restrictive sharing permissions of its members (or allow an explicit override).
- Take into account later Topic Map extensions like Occurrences and Associations
Thank you for reviewing this suggestion. I can help prototype the UI if needed.
Best,
Mat Huppertz(Part of a series of related suggestions – see #0101, #0102, #0103, #0104, #0105, #0106, #0107)

Show full thumbnail in Photos preview
The photo album view is nice. It would be even nicer if it was possible to show landscape as landscape and portrait as portrait instead of having everything in portrait (cutting edges off landscape photos). With this setting the landscape photos would be equally tall as portrait photos but wider than portraits. There will probably be some white space left on the right with this view, but I think it would look nicer. Maybe have an option to show smaller thumbnails as well.

Bring back functionality with Mail
Until recently, Drive worked with Mail in the Proton ecosystem. Now, to add an attachment to iOS Mail, one needs to first transfer a file from Drive to iCloud to be able to attach it. This breaks the entire functionality between the two apps in the same ecosystem. Please bring back the ability to attach documents from Drive to Mail.

resuming aborted downloads/uploads
Due to instable wifi, it happens that my connection breaks when doing some bigger transfers. That's why I also voted for the speed limit cap elsewhere in this community. When my connection breaks, transfers are aborted and started all over again, instead of resuming after the connection is established again. Because of this, I cannot tranfer files of some gigabytes. I hope you can make Proton Drive more mature by implementing a kind of download manager, pausing and resuming transfers, instead of restarting complete files. Thanks you.
