Speed up downloads from Proton Drive using shared links
I've shared a folder that was about 337 MB using a share link. The downloads are abysmally slow at 47.83 KB/s to 185.54 KB/s. Then the download fails at less than a third of the way through.
I'm on a paid plan. Replicated with the person whom I shared the folder. Both of us can't download it.
Both of us are on different high bandwidth fiber internet plans and have no issues with other content.

Prevent repeated photos/videos in backups of Android
Each time a folder is activated for backup in android, all the images are uploaded without checking if them are already uploaded. A hash comparison would resolve this issue and prevent photos or videos' duplication

Warn/prohibit use of filenames incompatible with filesystems commonly used on Windows, macOS, Linux.
Currently Proton drive does not warn when files saved, e.g. in macOS, have filenames incompatible with Windows filesystems. It would be greatly appreciated if a user was warned before the conflict arise when trying to check synchronisation in a different OS.

Make "Stop sharing" available for more than 1 File. So you can mark all files you don't want to share anymore.

Pause Photo Backup Proton Drive
Pause Photo Backup
Proton Drive Android
Sometimes instant backup is inconvenient because:
I want to delete some photos and videos in a moment (deleting them on my phone and then on the cloud is imprecise and time-consuming)
I want to save battery power when I don't have anywhere to charge my phone right away.10 votes -
Digitaler Nachlass
Im Falle des Ablebens eines Proton Account Holders sollte eine (oder mehrere) Personen angegeben werden können, die nach Identity Check auf die Unterlagen zugreifen können und in einem vordefinierten Zeitraum die Daten retten können, bevor der Account gelöscht wird.
SecureSafe hat so ein Feature.

API Checksum
I keep most of my personal/project files in a folder structure that 'lives' in the cloud, but has a full offline mirror on my main devices (desktop and laptop). From my point of view this is an essential quality of life thing, and I have no idea how other people survive without doing this.
The problem I have now is that I'm on linux, automating my mirroring with rclone. Rclone is great, but if a file gets corrupted during the sync process, it can't tell, which is A PROBLEM because over time with repeated syncs, corrupted files can potentially end up overwriting good files.
Normally this problem can be solved by running checksums to verify integrity. A script can make sure that everything matches up correctly, and can automatically repair things instead of propagating destruction upon all my files. Unfortunately, it seems that Proton Drive hasn't exposed a system for this yet, so there is no reasonable way for me to do these integrity checks that are a key part of any healthy synchronization framework.
The number one thing a file system should not do is destroy its files. Checksums are kind of 'the way' we make sure we don't explode things. This is really quite an essential feature.
Edit: IMPORTANT: It seems I should mention that checksums can also MASSIVELY reduce the overhead traffic on your servers. They allow a sync engine to see if a file is the same, and its metadata just changed for some reason, so then the sync engine doesn't have to re-download the thing it already has. The users want this to speed up syncs on their end, and you guys should want this to get better performance for less server load on your end.

Delete original backup if organized into an album
I'm wondering if it would be feasible to add a feature into proton drive, where the original videos and photos get backed up if its possible to delete it after that same photo or video gets moved into an album as I imagine for most people it would be easier to search through named albums vs a random collection of pics and videos put together.
TL;DR - Photo/video gets backed up>Move photo/video to album>Delete original photo/video (without deleting the one in the album). Saves space and keeps things clean and organized

Start Drive sync while 'preparing'
Apologies, not sure if "new feature" or 'change to existing feature'.
Setting up Proton Drive on a new machine or after a re-format - it spends HOURS "Setting up... (x items prepared for sync)" before it actually starts syncing.
Why can't it start syncing what is already 'prepared' while figuring out the rest? Would be a HUGE QoL improvement for users and save a TON of time getting people up and running.

Proton Docs file history should not count towards maximum file size limit of 25MB
When working with several larger images into a Proton document you can quickly run into the file size limit of 25MB.
Going back and deleting said pictures is also of no help, as they are still kept in the document history, and now any further changes of that file are held ******* by said history. Not even rollbacks to previous versions are possible.There are currently two ways around this.
1: Create a copy of the document (and re-share any links, in case of a shared document)
2: Disable all file history for everything in Proton Drive.Option 1 is a hassle and breaks up your workflow, option 2 opens any file open to the possibility of data loss.
Therefore file history should not count towards the document file size limit.
Or; file history should be able to be deleted/disabled on a file-by-file basis.When working with several larger images into a Proton document you can quickly run into the file size limit of 25MB.

Do not rename photos
Sometimes I save my android pictures with a USB cable and sometimes with Proton Drive. When I want to be sure there is no photo forgotten I paste all the proton saved photos in my Windows folders again, but since Proton changes automatically the photos' names, it becomes a mess with many duplicates. Do you really need to change the file's name? Why not keep the original name ?

Allow Proton Drive to use my smartphone's office app
Other drives like Onedrive and Google Drive give the option to use the smartphone's own office apps to open documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc...
I really miss that as I cannot open my sheets, for example, unless I download them. And if I make a change in them, then I have to upload it to the Proton Drive afterwards.
Sorry, but just to be clear. In those other drives like Onedrive, you do not need to download the sheet in other to open it and if you edit the sheet, then Onedrive automatically replace the older version as you save the edited sheet.
If you implement this, it would also release the pressure on the enhancement of Proton Docs, as users could just use some other office in their phone like Word and Libreoffice as you work more on Proton Docs and (I hope) Proton Sheets.Other drives like Onedrive and Google Drive give the option to use the smartphone's own office apps to open documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc...

Improving Proton Drive isn’t about adding random features—it’s about closing the gap between excellent privacy and everyday usability.
Proton Drive can be significantly improved by focusing on both performance and usability while maintaining its strong privacy foundation. Enhancing upload and download speeds, along with introducing smarter syncing technologies like block-level sync, would make file handling much more efficient. Adding a powerful encrypted search feature would greatly improve user experience, allowing users to quickly locate files without compromising security.See more on: https://moroccofuntours.com/5-days-in-morocco-itinerary/

Backup macOS Photos to photos on drive
Would be great if the photos and albums in my photos app on my mac are backuped to drive photos. So then iOS phots are backup and macOS photos are backuped (I do not use icloud anymore because I do not trust Apple anymore). In this way I can have all my photos in 1 place.

Implement Preview for Excel and PowerPoint
A preview function for Excel and PowerPoint documents would be very helpful for Drive Online users. Often a glance at the file, e.g. work schedule, would be sufficient and no download/editing is necessary.

On-Demand file syncing for windows & synchronisation of PCs
Trying to change from Onedrive, but it's on-demand file download is too powerful. Apps & Games being able to call for and wait for a Onedrive download automatically should be a feature of Proton Drive.
Also ability to have all Windows PCs synced under one location in Proton drive. so they all have the same files available. Proton Drive having PCs have there own individual folders was a big let down when I was changing over.
