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.

View videos on mobile
Currently, to view videos stored on proton drive, you have to download them. An option is to allow apps like vlc, the ability to view/stream these videos, instead of having to download them.

sheets functionality
Thank you for creating Spreadsheets! I would love to completely move over from Google Sheets but
when i am typing in a cell, i should be able to hit the right or left arrow key and automatically move to the next cell over. I first have to hit ENTER to get out of editing, which moves the selected cell down a row, then I have to arrow right and up.
Repeating this process a multitude of times becomes time restrictive in cases of heavy data entry and both Google Sheets and Excel do not behave this way.

a) search across all tabs (not just the one active)
b) search a specific range of text
c) replace with text
c1) allow us to either replace just 1 instance or all7 votes -
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,…

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 hiding the user email in Proton Docs to avoid leaking personal data
When sharing a document created in Proton Drive with another person, if the Proton user makes a comment, the original email of the account e.g., user@protonmail.com is leaked. This is a problem in my view, particularly when an inbox has multiple aliases and domains and the user does not want to leak their personal Proton email. Please allow users to hide this information altogether when sharing documents or at least choose which alias to display. Thanks.

Support for syncing multiple Proton Drive accounts on same machine
Having multiple proton accounts, ie personal and business, currently only allows one of those accounts to sync Proton Drive to folders on a single machine. Need to have the ability for Proton Drive to handle different accounts with different syncing structure.

Proton Docs Bulk Download
There needs to be an essential feature to bulk download Proton Docs into a readable file format of your choice. Allowing the downloader to choose a default file time (Adobe, Word, etc.). For purposes of downloading multiple files at once for ease and convenience. And for purposes of being able to do a convenience manual backup to a local hard drive.

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

Use a more widely known document format (.docx, .odt…) instead of .protondoc
I recently tried to edit a document offline with OnlyOffice from my Proton Drive folder (synced with my account), and to my surprise I found that the document wasn’t supported because its format was .protondoc !
Moreover, when I save a Word document as .docx on my computer and then edit it online, a second document is created in the .protondoc format, and again it can’t be edited with OnlyOffice because the format isn’t recognized !
Why doesn’t Proton use a more common format? Is this a constraint of end‑to‑end encryption?

Proton Scribe in Proton Docs
I recently upgraded to Proton Duo purely to get access to Proton Scribe. I just assumed it would be built into both the email client and Proton Docs but now see this is sadly not the case.
Given how tech and office environments are developing, including this functionality is arguably already critical to keep Proton docs competitive and attractive to users.
Please consider adding a Proton Scribe feature in Proton Docs -- it would hugely simplify and improve my work, and I'm sure that of many others.

Allow unselect during Ctrl multiselect in Proton Sheets
In other spreadsheet editors, such as Google Sheets, if you hold Ctrl and click on multiple cells to select them, you can click a selected cell again to unselect it. This is very helpful if you're multi selecting and accidentally select a cell, since it'll let you unselect it and still keep all your other cells selected.
I tried this in Proton Sheets, and clicking on an already selected cell (in multiselect) does nothing.
It's a very small feature, but a good quality of life by design. :)
Thank you!

Table of Contents :: Proton Docs
Thanks for making Proton Docs!
Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?
Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.
Thanks again!

My Files - Rename or Remove
It looks like all files go into a top level directory called "My Files." Having a space in a path name can cause problems in some software tools and is more difficult to traverse on the command line. I would like to be able to rename the folder to something without a space, or eliminate it completely and manage the top level tree myself.
