A built in document scanner in Proton Drive
Try to scan a document to store in a safe place like Proton Drive. It's a huge vunerability in privacy by using a scanning app. What is the point of storing data safe when the data is already given elsewhere by a scanner app who needs I don't know how many permissions plus send data to unknown vendors.
Inwould love to see a scanning tool built into Proton Drive.

That’s a really valid concern—using third-party scanner apps can definitely introduce privacy risks, especially when they require excessive permissions or send data to unknown servers. Integrating a built-in document scanner directly into Proton Drive would make a lot of sense, as it would keep everything within a trusted ecosystem and enhance overall security. Hopefully, the developers consider this feature in future updates. On a different note, when it comes to apps and downloads in general, I always prefer using a reliable website https://theaetharsx2.com/ for things like the AetherSX2 APK to ensure a safer and smoother experience.

I think this is created and done?! I've used this service several times and love it!

I completely agree with this point, because privacy can easily be compromised before a document even reaches secure storage. Using third-party scanner apps often means granting excessive permissions and trusting unknown vendors with sensitive data, which defeats the purpose of using Proton Drive in the first place. A built-in scanner would give users full control from capture to storage, creating a truly private workflow. Just like structured tools such as https://analisilogicaonline.com/ help organize grammar clearly and securely, an integrated scanning feature in Proton Drive could simplify document management while keeping user privacy at the center.

A Blox Fruits script usually refers to custom code some players try to use in the Roblox game Blox Fruits to automate actions or gain advantages like auto-farming or enhanced abilities. While these scripts are popular in online discussions, using them often breaks Roblox’s rules and can lead to bans or account loss. Many players prefer to enjoy the game legit, focusing on grinding, leveling up, and mastering fruits and combat the intended way.

It is already implemented on iOS.
Open Proton drive, go to the folder where you want your scan to be saved and press the "+" in the upper right corner. The last option in the list is: "Scan document". Voila!
No OCR though... -

It just landed (iOS app at least). Not really used it due to lack of sync with macOS client.

Black-and-white feature like Google Drive or BlackBerry's built-in document scanner would be nice. Taking a picture isn't sufficient especially when color contrast is not high enough.

Yes, this! I would absolutely ditch my scanner app in a heartbeat. I scan all my mail and upload to Dropbox, but would much prefer a secure and private option.

I am planning on replacing both Dropbox and Evernote with Proton drive. It would be great to drop GeniusScan as well. However, I would need to be able to forward those documents through other apps, since my Outlook account is the only way secure enough for my companies security standards.

I think a built-in document scanner would be a really practical addition to Proton Drive, especially for users who want to keep everything secure in one place instead of relying on third-party apps. Having simple tools that integrate seamlessly into the ecosystem saves time and makes workflows smoother.
On a related note, I often use online tools to simplify my work, like https://ipptcalculators.com/. Adding more built-in features in Proton Drive could provide that same convenience and efficiency for users. -

I'm just using genius scan for now, but I would love this. Google drive has this feature

This is a great idea and very much in line with Proton’s mission. A built-in scanner in Proton Drive would let users capture and encrypt documents directly, avoiding third-party apps that demand excessive permissions. It could include OCR for searchable text, encrypted annotations, and the ability to scan directly into specific Drive folders. On the security side, end-to-end encryption from the moment of capture, metadata stripping, and secure sharing with time limits would make it stand out. This would close a real privacy gap and provide a seamless, Proton-native experience.
