Remove dependance on google play services
Protonmail android app is dependent on google play services and that is obviously against privacy and security.
Users who removed/disable google play services or used vanilla "lineageos" without gapps cannot get the mail client work properly.
Google play services collect every possible piece of info about the user; location, body sensors, application usage, and every other possible thing. So telling the use to enable/install google services you compromise his privacy and security by 3rd party app which is clearly against the idea if Protomail.I hope you can correct this and have no dependence on google at all.

Linux supported equally
Linux is very popular among privacy concerned users, who make up a large chunk of Proton's userbase. However, Proton fails to provide any solid Linux apps and frequently leaves them unmaintained or released years after the initial product launch. Proton should make Linux a first-class platform, with proper support from day one.

Modernize Standard Notes
In a market with consolidated competitors such as Obsidian, Anytype, AFFiNE, among others, it is essential that Standard Notes offers real-time collaboration features, in addition to the other editing functions of its competitors.
The dated interface is also a problem. When you look at the UI/UX of competitors, you can see how Standard Notes needs a design makeover to modernize it and get it out of that dated software look.

Migrate to quantum resistant algorithms
Quantum computing breaking common cryptography algorithms is a future problem that will affect all data that is stolen/collected now and that contains sensitive information we may NEVER want to share

Turn Standard Notes into Proton Notes
Standard Notes has an outdated UI. Also, if people look for a privacy friendly notes service they will find many different options which they have most likely never heard of. If you now turn Standard Notes into Proton Notes (or create a separate app that syncs with Standard Notes), the people won't just find unknown notes services, they will find Proton Notes, who they've most likely heard of already if they're into privacy.
So, it doesn't just improve the UI, but it also helps strengthen the brand identity (and find more possible paying customers)

Proton Family pricing options
I'm happy to see the newly released Proton Family plan! I've been waiting around for something like this for a while. However, I don't really need to support 6 users in my small family. Can we instead get pricing per member? The current pricing is about 3.33 USD per member per month, at 19.99 USD per month if you get the 2 year plan. How about flexible pricing: 2 members = 4.99 USD each, 3 members = 4.49 USD each, 4 members = 3.99 USD each, 5 members = 3.49 USD each, 6 members 3.33 USD each.

.heic
Hi,
I hope you are having a blessed day. Recently ran into a conversion issue for heic. I know a lot of customers use iphone's and based on the transfer of pictures it would be amazing if you added support to preview heic within your own amazing email product. This would save a lot of time (maybe even the ability to convert to jpeg when it notices a attachment).256 votes -
Don't use Proton username when sending calendar invites
I use custom domains, partly to avoid giving any personal information to services that don't need it, and partly as an added layer of security for my Proton account. I've never (intentionally) shared my Proton username with anyone. I noticed when sending a calendar invite that it included my Proton username. Can we either get a separate field for invites, or can this be updated to use the existing user-specified display name field?

Inactive account policy - keep account when deleting data
Hello proton team
I have a new suggestion regarding the inactive account policy. Instead of permanently deleting a user's account if they haven't logged in for a year, I propose an alternative approach.
The idea is to delete their data while keeping the account itself, which would minimize costs for Proton. In the event that the user logs in again at a later time, they would login to an empty account (like if they just created it), but at least they won't lose their email address.
A lot of users keep a protonmail account as a recovery email for other…

Lumo - stop auto scrolling while lumo answers
I would like to interrupt the auto scrolling while lumo answers by scrolling with my finger, so I can start reading the message while lumo ist still answering.
Currently I need to wait until lumo has finished answering and then I need to scroll back to the start of the answer.
You can check e.g. chatgpt they have it implemented and it's a quite nice reading experience.

Improve Proton's Open source development
Proton has two great assets, the privacy respecting side and its Open source orientation.
However, some apps/services still aren't published openly (Calendar app for Android/iOS, amongst others).
So :
1. Make all apps and services open source
2. Activate issues on repositories
3. Invite community to actively participate in the development of the ecosystem
=> Proton apps become more reliable, with faster feature development and availability and it allows for greater transparency and sense of trust from the customers and community.69 votes -

English (British/Austalian/American) as a language option
Currently there is one 'English' as a language option, this is in reality American or American English. Some of the differences are not at al subtle. Virtually all other services have the two separated, as American is a fairly isolated language whereas English (or British English) covers the UK, Australia, New Zealand, large numbers in India and a majority in Europe (though American is also popular in Europe now).
It seems like minimal effort would be required to create a proper English as an additional language but would remove so much confusion with English speakers that don't understand many of…

Proton drive should remove "my computer" feature on PC and have a single default sync folder like MEGA.
When I use mega, I can upload my document on my mobile phone and it immediately gets downloaded on my PC mega folder. Vise versa.
Proton drive should do the same.
The "My computer" folder sync feature on PC is completely useless. Your ios app don't even have the "my computer" folder. It means I cannot access information on my mobile when I upload documents on my PC. You should make a default cloud drive folder like MEGA. Let users drag their documents to that folder, auto sync, and it should be available on all platforms. More user friendly.
Thank…

Paying users should get an automatic uservoice account
Users who pay for your service are your primary source of truth for product feedback, and should therefore automatically have access to the uservoice website. It's strange that i had to confirm my proton email to add feedback about the proton product

Reactivate Proton's Mastodon account!
What a shame deactivating Proton's Mastodon account without any announcement, but only a change on the account's description!
