1. Request for Malware Scanning Feature in Proton Drive and Sync

   I've noticed that Google Drive recently introduced a feature that scans for malware and ransomware, automatically blocking the upload if any are detected. Could Proton consider adding a similar feature to Proton Drive Sync? It would be incredibly helpful to have this protection in place, scanning files as they are being uploaded. This way, if a file is infected, Proton could block the upload and pause the sync.

   I currently use Bitdefender and find it fantastic, but integrating such a feature directly into Proton Drive would enhance security for both the sync application and the cloud storage itself.

2. A thought on spreadsheet architecture (from a grateful user)

   Hi Proton Team,
   First off, I want to say that what you've built with Proton Docs is genuinely impressive. End-to-end encrypted spreadsheets that actually work is no small feat, and I really appreciate the engineering that went into making this happen.
   I've been using your spreadsheet app and thinking a lot about architecture lately. What you've accomplished is amazing—truly. But I also believe that trying to build the same thing in different ways can teach you a lot, even if you never ship it. I wish I could rewrite all my own apps in every language and framework just to see what I'd learn. But if I had to choose just one thing to rewrite, one experiment that felt like it might reveal something fundamental... I'd rewrite a spreadsheet app in SolidJS.
   I know how this sounds. It feels a bit like suggesting someone reconsider their religion, and I've been hesitant to even bring it up. And look—I could be completely wrong about this. I don't know your codebase. I don't know what you've already tried or what constraints you're working under. I'm looking at this from the outside, and I'm sure there are a hundred things I'm not seeing.
   But here's the thing that keeps nagging at me, and I could be completely wrong about this—I don't know all the facts of your architecture or the constraints you're working under—but: spreadsheet cells are literally signals.
   I mean this in the most fundamental, computer science sense. A cell holds a value. When that value changes, dependent cells recalculate. That's it. That's a signal. And React... React doesn't really think in signals. It thinks in snapshots and reconciliation.
   Right now, when I edit a cell in your spreadsheet, React has to:

   Re-run component functions
   Build a new virtual DOM tree
   Diff it against the old tree
   Figure out what changed
   Update the DOM

   Or at least, that's how I understand it works. I could be missing optimizations you've implemented that I can't see from the outside. But in principle, a spreadsheet cell doesn't need a diff. It knows exactly what changed—its value. And it knows exactly who needs to know—the cells that reference it.
   This is where signal-based reactivity (like what SolidJS uses) becomes almost eerily perfect for spreadsheets. Not because SolidJS is "better" (I know how loaded that word is), but because the mental model matches the problem domain exactly:
   A1 = 5 // This is a signal
   A2 = A1 * 2 // This is a computed signal
   When A1 changes, only A2 updates. No diffing. No reconciliation. No re-rendering parent components. Just: "A1 changed, tell A2." That's it.
   I realize I'm oversimplifying massively, and maybe I'm missing something fundamental about why this wouldn't work in practice. I know you've got virtualization, you've got workers handling crypto, you've got complex state management for collaboration, and you've got a whole ecosystem built on React. There are probably architectural decisions I'm completely unaware of that make this harder—or maybe even impossible—than I'm imagining.
   But I also can't shake this feeling that you're fighting React's fundamental architecture every time a cell updates. You've done an amazing job making it work (seriously, the fact that it works as well as it does is a testament to your engineering), but it's like... you've built a beautiful house with the wrong foundation for the soil type, you know?
   Or maybe I'm completely off base. Maybe React is actually perfect for this and I'm just not seeing it.
   Here's what I'm actually suggesting (and please feel free to ignore this):
   Maybe it's worth experimenting with a signal-based approach for just the grid layer? Not a full rewrite. Not even for production. Just... to see. To learn what happens when the mental model aligns so perfectly with the problem. It could be SolidJS, or Preact Signals, or even a custom implementation. The framework doesn't matter as much as the fundamental reactivity model.
   Because I genuinely believe you'd learn something valuable, even if you never ship it. Sometimes the act of building the same thing differently reveals insights about the original that you couldn't see any other way.
   And if the theory holds—if signals really could be 5-10x faster for spreadsheet operations (which the benchmarks suggest, though I know benchmarks lie), and if they use significantly less memory—then for something like Proton Docs, which people use for work, where performance and reliability matter, those insights might be worth exploring. Even if it just confirms that React was the right choice all along.
   I know this is a big ask, even as an experiment. I know you have a roadmap. I know React works and has a huge ecosystem and hiring is easier and a million other practical reasons to stick with what you have. And I'm not saying you're wrong for using React—it was probably the right choice when you started.
   But if I could rewrite just one of my apps to learn something fundamental about architecture, it would be this. A spreadsheet in signals. Because it just... fits.
   I'm just saying... spreadsheet cells are signals. And sometimes when something just makes sense at that fundamental level, it's worth exploring. Even just as an experiment.
   Or maybe it's not worth it. Maybe you've already run these numbers and they don't add up. Maybe there's something about signals that breaks with encryption, or collaboration, or some other piece I can't see from here. I genuinely don't know.
   Again, I love what you've built. I'm rooting for you. And if you've already considered this and decided against it—or if I'm just fundamentally misunderstanding the problem—I completely understand.
   Thanks for listening to my rambling.

4. Be able to sweep between images in Proton Drive mobile App

   This is about Proton Drive mobile App (iOs in my case).
   Currently if there are several images in the folder, I have to open an image, then close it, then open another, etc.
   I would like to be able to sweep directly between the images in the folder. It would be a more fluent experience :)
   Thank you

6. Next/Previous on photos

   Could you change the "next/previous" controls for viewing photos so they are on the left and right edges of the image (like in Google Photos and other services), instead of having the arrows at the top?

   I honestly can't get used to Proton's top arrows. It breaks my usual behavior pattern and logic, and I constantly feel lost. And on a tablet, it's just painful to use.

7. Enable automatic resolution adjustment of photos to save space

   The automatic sync of photos from a phone to Proton Drive is very useful. The Drive space fills up fast though because the photos resolution is kept unchanged when backing up a photo to Drive.
   It would be very useful to add a feature (allowing the user to activate or deactivate it) to automatically adjust the resolution of the back-up to save space. In the vast majority of cases, a much lower resolution than the original photo is more than enough, so this would save many users a lot of space.

10. Option to connect to Nikon Imaging cloud

    I realize this is probably a niche feature, but I would really like Proton Drive to be added to the options in Nikon Imaging Cloud for automatic uploads. At the moment I can choose, adobe lightroom, dropbox, google drive/photos etc.
    It would be really nice to have Proton Drive there!

12. Collection of Default Templates for Docs

    A small collection of generic document templates to select from would be very helpful to get started, showcase design/formatting features and different use cases. A good template also helps with user training by providing examples not just of what can be done, but the settings and formatting used to create it.

    The convenience of having some preformatted docs is a huge time saver.

    Please add Chromebook's to the list of available devices that can sync files. I don't want to have to sit and upload every folder/file from the web interface or app as it is very time consuming. Having PD sync with Chromebooks would be very beneficial, especially to those of us who are trying to DeGoogle and only have access to a Chromebook.

18. Provide an option to enable pooled storage.

    In Duo or Family, currently we can split the available storage between users.

    This is problematic because i would constantly watch out for free space and play with the allocation slider. Why??

    I think there should be an option to share the whole available storage space, so that it becomes pooled. The data could still be separated or shared optionally between the users.

    I know there was probably some reason to set this.up the way it is now, but it's always nice to have an option.

20. Name, Modified, & Size Filters Specific to Each Page, w/ Memory

    I often like to sort the contents of some folders by "name", and some by "modified" date.
    1. It would be great to have a global, and folder level memory, such that you can have some folders remain sorted by "modified" date, even if you apply "name globally".
    2. Secondly, for some reason, "modified" only seems to pertain to the end item its self, instead of the contents. For instance, if I have a 5 folders and within one of them I edit a Doc., the folder order will not change even though the contents of one of them has shifted, only the order of the Docs. within the folder will change. When you are using the "modified" filter, most often you are trying to put your most frequently accessed documents first. It would then make sense to me that every folder level out from the end Doc. adjusted should also be bumped up. I hope that makes sense.

    Loving the product. Keep up the good work!
