    Correction to the record, with a reproduction.

    .ODT IS SUPPORTED. In the "Link with Proton Drive folder" picker, an .odt file appears normally with its type label. A .ods file in the same folder does not appear at all, and the picker reports "1 file is hidden (unsupported file type)".

    So the gap is spreadsheets only: xls and xlsx are supported, ods is not. The supported-types list circulated by Support ("xls, xlsx, csv") is accurate; reports that neither odt nor ods work are incorrect for odt.

    Request: add ods to the supported spreadsheet types. It is one entry in a format allowlist beside two formats that already work, and it unblocks anyone who authors in LibreOffice.

    Secondary, lower priority: Lumo's Creations download offers PDF, Word and HTML but not odt/ods. LibreOffice users currently export through Word. Native odt/ods output would close the loop.

    Separately: "Save to Drive → PDF" produces an image-based PDF with no selectable text, so it cannot be fed back into a knowledge base. A text-based PDF option would help regardless of ODF.
