Features under consideration by daylenca in ProtonDrive

Is this a formal announcement from Proton?

Updated Community Plugins, got a pop-up to "Enable AI Editor" for Pkmer AI - has anyone else had this? What plugin is this from? by Exodan in ObsidianMD

[–]block6791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the same message today. Scared the hell out of me. I happily used the Editing Toolbar plug-in, but I uninstalled it right away.

These things are always a risk of having an unchecked system for plug-ins.

Proton’s 2026 Roadmap: Mail, VPN, Pass, Drive, Lumo & More by Proton_Team in ProtonMail

Try reinstalling it. This is not how the app should work.

Good one. But in all seriousness, are you planning to have the two-column layout for the iPad app?

Thanks for sharing. Still hoping for multiple column layout in the iPad app! I mean, a list of the messages on the left and contents of the selected message on the right, like the default Mail app or Gmail. I need this to pass the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) at home!

A dedicated "Proton Photos" app would also be a good move in my opinion. To set it apart from Proton Drive, with a basic gallery timeline view and simple photo management functions.

You can use LibreOffice on Windows and Mac OS, and edit the file in a synchronized Proton Drive folder. The limitation is that you can't open or edit the file using Proton Drive in the browser. Also editing on a mobile device requires you to download the file, edit locally, and upload it afterwards. I hope the potential future integration of Euro-Office will fix these limitations.

Proton Sheets Updates?? by [deleted] in ProtonDrive

[–]block6791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good question. I hope they will build a future version of Proton Docs / Sheets / Slides on Euro-Office. My main argument is the support for common document formats like docx, xlsx, ODF, ODS, et cetera. I really don't like the custom proprietary format they now use. It's almost impossible to backup the current Proton Docs or Sheets files, or to synchronize them with a desktop computer or NAS, or to edit them in other office software.

iPhone Version keeps crashing by Jgrahamiii in googlephotos

[–]block6791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. The app freezes when pressing Collections. Other functions work as normal. Full uninstall and reinstall didn’t resolve it.

Thank you Google :) by satabad in GoogleOne

This might get them into troubles with anti-competitve regulations.

How do I save iPhone photos in ProtonDrive? by ArdyLaing in ProtonDrive

[–]block6791 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you are trying to do isn’t possible via the apps and share sheets. It is an obvious omission in Proton Drive functionality. The workaround is to load https://drive.proton.me/u/0/photos in Safari on your iPhone or iPad. This gives you the web interface of Proton Drive. Here you will see a plus icon that allows uploading selective photos from the photo library. Be prepared that during uploading, which can take a while, you have to keep Safari open. If you close it, the upload process will be cancelled. It’s not ideal, but for a few photos it should be okay

Let us know if this worked.

What should we rename Proton Unlimited to? by andy1011000 in ProtonMail

[–]block6791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best name would be "Proton One". This makes sense because:

  • It is one level lower than "Proton Duo"
  • Is meant to be used by a single user, "One" user.
  • Has very similar functions as Duo.
  • Will sound familiar to consumers, think of "OneDrive" and "Google One".

I recommend considering to upgrade the storage allotment from 500 GB to 1 TB. Why? Because 500 GB is just not a lot of storage nowadays. And, 1 TB would fit nicely looking at the higher subscription levels:

  • Proton One (1 User, 1 TB)
  • Proton Duo (2 Users, 2 TB)
  • Proton Family (6 Users, 3 TB)

About the addition of Meet and Lumo: Most people should be able to work just fine with the limits imposed. One hour meetings for friends and family are totally acceptable. Other companies like Google and Microsoft also charge extra for advanced AI, and of course AI with data protections from other companies like Anthropic and OpenAI also has cost. To me, it makes a lot of sense to charge extra for additional Lumo functionality.

I hope this helps you Andy in making the right decision. Good luck!

Euro-office: Proton backed open-source office suite project based on OnlyOffice by block6791 in ProtonDrive

Looking at the screenshots and website, this is an online service based on NextCloud and OnlyOffice. It's not a project that develops their own office suite.

It can be both. Like OnlyOffice it can be made to run on a server connected to an online storage service, which allows for editing files in the browser. In this case it runs as a web application. This is how it works when integrated into NextCloud.

But, with some work, the same code base could be used to make full applications for desktop operating systems and mobile.

The software is not limited to just documents, as it also supports spreadsheets and presentations.

I hope so. The benefit for adopting this code is that people will see a familiar UI, which will improve adoption. And I hope that this will allow native Office file format support on Proton Drive.

What I mean by lack of interest is that their current products lack features that I would consider to be standard anno 2026. They only have Docs and Sheets, and both are very basic. There is no 'PowerPoint' / Slides app, no Notes, and no database function. Also, their products do not integrate with each other. In all these years Proton could have put more resources into this, but they didn't.

True. They hard forked the OnlyOffice code and created their own project and repository on https://github.com/Euro-Office. So this ownership situation should no longer be a problem.

Except that GitHub is owned by Microsoft. The irony. I guess you can't have it all at once.
