Docs
Reasonably proton docs is still missing a lot of features. Some improvements I've noticed it needs while using it are a page printer view, spacing variability, format memory (when starting a new line font and text size revert to default), precision font variability, better spacing with indented checkboxes, and an easy and elegant UI for viewing already created docs

Ability to share files/folders with non-proton users by sharing a link and password instead of having to create an account
Absolutely need the ability to share a link to a file or folder on Proton Drive with a non-proton user without them having to create an account at all, e.g. proton user could simply share a password with the recipient and they could then access the file or folder via a link with that password.
The fact recipients have to create an account makes them opt out and request the use of unsecured channels for file sharing. This is NOT the way. Please add this ability to remove this important element of friction that’s preventing users from using proton services…

I switched to Proton because I hate AI and it seems more reliable than gmail.
So please get rid of your chatbot. Nobody needs that. If your selling point is meant to be privacy and no chatbots, stick to that please and have some principles

An idea for an advanced Proton Drive ecosystem
Do you think this would already be a good new beginning? Since the ProtonMail and Proton Calendar apps are being recreated, Proton Drive should probably be next.
Proton Drive:
Obviously it should be a File Manager solely for data backup and restore, an advanced service.
Download and upload folders, automatically with synchronization or manually.
Have the various one-way synchronization options available, which are essential for backing up or restoring folders.
Be an advanced File Manager, both offline and online.
Manage and monitor the "special folders" of other services that are in Drive.
Proton Photos:
A Gallery-based application, designed for the…

Android Integration
Proton is intended for (extreme) privacy and I get it. This is very good and terrible at the same time : the vast majority of your apps provide no possibility to have a smooth integration with the ecosystem they live in :
- Calendar : impossible to have my events in the Android calendar with my other accounts. Calendars can't be shared so that people use a common calendar for common activities.
- Contacts : impossible to have my contacts in Android so I could use them with the dialer
- Drive : no sync client for Linux, Windows, MacOS…

Allow family members to create new email addresses privately.
Currently the Family Plan provides a total of 90 email addresses for all family members, but the admin users must create the addresses for each member. From a privacy standpoint this is very wrong.
I recommend having an option for the admin users to allocate an amount of addresses from the total of 90 to each member. Each member should then create their own additional addresses, and the additional addresses should be only visible to each user. Family admins should not be able to see family member secondary addresses.
I purchased the Family Plan for my family because I value…

Increased view density option
Coming from Gmail, I am used to having three options for display density- Default, Comfortable and Compact. In Proton, the compact option still leaves too much space both in the LH folder/tag pane, and in the email listing. I suggest adding another density option. Since Compact is already used, the choice of Default may need to be added and then increase the density on the two existing options.

Yubikey support without authenticator app
Please add yubikey support on all products?
Individual passwords per product would be a good feature.
Please remove authenticator app dependency or release a proton authenticator app.
And please lose the Google integration completely!!! Most of us use proton to get rid of Google.

Make all photos available offline on Mobile
Photos are very slow to load, making it difficult for me to scroll back and find particular events.
Individual photos have the option to "Make available offline", but when I select all the photos I can only Download or Move to trash.
I'd like an option to make all my photos available offline.

Proton Docs - Ability to change font to exact number
Instead of choosing a pre-set list of font sizes in Proton Docs, be able to type in a value like Microsoft Word.

Hide photo's already in albums
When you have put photo's in albums, I'd like to hide them from my main photo view so I know which photo's I still need to organize.
With google you could archive your photo's, that worked because they would still be in albums, but not visible in the main photo's view.
I would like something similar, I think having a button that hides photo's that have already been organized, or some kind of organize view with more options like this would be really helpful.

Dark App Icons for macOS
It would be nice, specifically with macOS 26, that there would be dark mode Icons for Proton Mail, VPN and Pass.

Proton educational
Currently some governments are using services provided by Google for education. As an examples,Catalonia, public universities or most of primary / secondary schools are using google as mail, drive, etc.
With current Proton infrastructure, would be great, to provide to those governaments some special price / conditions to use proton infrastructure as default, so introducing the cybersecurity concepts for our kids and students since the begging, preventing that first they get familiar with platforms like Google, instead having proper mindset from the scratch.

Title: Upgrade E2EE to Quantum-Safe Encryption Across All Proton Products – By End of 2026
It's already May 2026, and 2027 is just 7 months away. The quantum computing threat is no longer a future concern — it's becoming a present reality. Current E2EE, while strong today, will not hold up against quantum attacks.
Proton has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to privacy. Upgrading to Quantum-Safe Encryption (Post-Quantum Cryptography) across all Proton products — Mail, Drive, Calendar, VPN, and Pass — before the end of 2026 would be a massive step forward.
NIST has already finalized post-quantum encryption standards. There's no reason to wait. If Proton acts now, it becomes the…19 votes -
Request UserVoice idea be closed due to completion / no longer relevant
I have a UserVoice idea regarding what was a bug that has now been resolved. I'd be happy to delete my post but other people have liked it so I can no longer do that.
It might be useful to have a button/toggle where the person who raised the idea can indicate to Proton that their idea has been resolved, or maybe some other circumstance where their post is no longer required and can be taken down.

Improved session management
Asking for improvements to the existing "Session management" under
"Security and privacy"
1. Capitalize the Second word: "Session management" -> "Session Management"
2. Sort by type: rather than by date
a. Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN, Pass
b. web, Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, Android, iOS
c. Also by date: Ascending and Descending like when sorting emails
3. Give names to each session: Mullvad VPN does this well
The Problem: In "Session management" each entry does not clearly
correspond to a session due to only the "App" and "Date" being
listed. This becomes a problem when there are many sessions.
The Solution: Give…19 votes -
