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.

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.
