DropBox Passwords needs an import
DropBox is removing their otherwise simple and awesome password feature. I suspect the simplicity I love is the reason they have decided to let other solutions provide that particular feature.
On Oct 8, 2025, all passwords will be gone. As we approach, more and more people are going to look for an easy way to transfer their stuff. It would be good marketing to announce that you are here to help.
The CSV import feature failed - it wondered about field names. Looking online, I didn't find any description of what the CSV import could do or what features it could support. A simple page to allow mapping from one field to a Proton Pass field would solve many situations at least for the simple transfer case.
I also suggest that a comment field or perhaps custom fields be utilized/created for all unassigned fields in a text processable way. Meaning where a perl program can process/use a regex to gather the extra fields on output. This would allow for post processing.
I also suggest allowing for a record specific ID so that a reimport can update fields without being worried about other entries for the same URL/Title. Perhaps support a list of tags that can be automatically applied to the record, inclluding tags that you might want - for example the import filename, the date of import, an arbitrary import number etc. Perhaps a line by line flag for whether to update or ignore a duplicate entry, or even whether to ignore an import ID when determining if something is a duplicate (so it can not override or create a duplicate for an entry that might already exist).
But at the end of the day, the DropBox csv export only has 5 fields to support. Make one specific to that, and you'll be good.

I just found this: How to import from Dropbox Passwords into Proton Pass - https://proton.me/support/pass-import-dropbox-passwords
The CSV file generated by Dropbox Passwords needs edition first... Hop it works, I'll try it here. -

Yes, please! The generic csv import drom Dropbox was a big fail, all messed up.
