Add support for LaTeX documents
Maybe the number of people who would use this feature is no enormous, but I still think there is a gap in the market that Proton could fill. Importantly, the people who would use this feature is willing to pay.
There is essentially one popular option in the market which is Overleaf, which requires a paid subscription to share a document with more than 2 people, and it is amazingly expensive (€19 monthly). Yet many people pay for it (research funds, it is the university who actually pays).
Probably this is not immediate to build, but maybe in the future...

Proton Profile
I want a firefox/windows feature that captures my user profile. I can launch it on a fresh linux install and it immediately brings my entire user profile down to the local device - so i can start working right where i left off.
All my short cuts, firefox favorites, etc.Ideal for say a debian live usb stick - i install proton profile and boom im productive immediately right where i left off.
It local self destructs based on user setting or on idle.

Allow defaulting from address to the address that received the email when replying
I am using Cloudflare for managing and forwarding some email addresses.
When I am replying to the emails, currently ProtonMail defaults to my @proton.me address, although the addresses are properly configured in ProtonMail.
I would like have an option to default the from address of my reply to the to address of the email I am replying to, so I don't need to manually change it. Sometimes I forget to change the address, causing confusion on the recipient.

Make all apps able to update themselves independently of app stores
Similar to what Signal does, it would be great to be able to install apps from the proton website, then update them from the app itself, without having to use the app store. This would reduce dependencies on App Stores that are run in (and potentially influenced by) authoritarian governments. Not having to trust Google Play or the Apple iStore (or whatever it's called) would be wonderful for those of us living under newly authoritarian governments, or anyone outside that country using those app stores.

Allow importing multiple events into Proton Calendar from .ics attachments in Proton Mail
Currently, if we have an .ics attachment with a single event in a Proton mail email, we are able to import that into Proton Calendar.
However, .ics attachments that contain multiple events are not yet supported, and show this message: "This ICS file contains more than one event. Please download it and import the events in Proton Calendar". This introduces a fair amount of friction.I get these quite a lot as I often book train journeys where both the outbound and return journeys are sent to me as two calendar events within one ICS attachment.
Please change the Proton…

Allow to test recovery phrase
I suggest that users can test if they saved the recovery phrase correctly. (Currently, the only option is to create a new phrase.)
Two cases where this might be helpful come to my mind:
- To check if a recovery phrase written down years ago is still the correct one. (I write recovery phrases on a paper and then usually never need them. After some years it is easily possible that paper notes get mixed up or that one is not sure about a certain character)
- To test the written down phrase immediately after creating and writing down a new one.…

Proton QR Code Generator
I have been researching QR code generators. What I have been looking for is a bit "anti Proton philosophy", but this is exactly why this might be an idea for you.
It would be nice to have a QR code generator service that allows for some simple analytics which do NOT break privacy (if that's even possible). Of course, it must be based on a zero knowledge structure so that even Proton can't access the data.
In short: It would be cool to have analytics without sacrificing privacy (again, if technically possible).Maybe Proton can pull this off with all…

Real contact groups for the Family Plan
We have migrated with our family from Google Workspace to Proton and expected to have the contact group feature in the family plan like described in https://proton.me/support/groups.
So like we used to do with Google Groups where we could add family members to a group and assign one or more e-mail addresses to this group so everybody in this group recieves a copy and can send on behalf of this group address. For instance myfamily@mydomain.com.
Both https://proton.me/support/groups and https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail-calendar/suggestions/7695942-contact-groups mention this. The group feature in the Proton Family Plan is very limited right now so please add this…5 votes -

ProTube
Please, don't resort to YouTube for your visual content! The company has already demonstrated its complicity with American fascism by its recent settlement payout to the U.S. government. We desperately need vlogging alternatives specifically engineered to support free public discourse which cannot be undermined or compromised by bad actors.

Option to set default language model in Lumo
Introduction**
As a user of Lumo, I’ve found the AI assistant to be incredibly helpful and versatile. However, one feature that could significantly enhance the user experience is the ability to choose and set a default language model. Currently, Lumo automatically selects the most suitable model for each task, which is efficient but lacks personalization. By adding the option to choose a preferred model or set a default, users can tailor their experience to better suit their needs and preferences.
Why This Feature Matters:
Personalization: Different users have varying preferences and requirements. Some may prefer a model that excels in…

[Proton Business] Separate Administration Panel from User Configuration
Separate Administration Panel from User Configuration
Problem //////////////////////////////////////////
Currently, administrative functions (billing, user management, domains, policies) and personal user settings (mail preferences, calendar settings, app configurations) are mixed within the same interface. This creates confusion, increases the risk of accidental changes, and blurs the line between organizational control and individual customization.
Proposal //////////////////////////////////////////
Create a clear separation between:
- Admin Panel for organization-wide settings (billing, users, domains, security policies)
- User Settings for personal preferences (signatures, themes, notifications, app behavior)
This separation should apply both in the UI and in the underlying permission model.
Why it matters //////////////////////////////////////////
Admins can focus on…

[Proton Meet] Dedicated Proton Meet Category on the UserVoice Platform
It would be very helpful to have a dedicated category for Proton Meet on the service/feedback platform, even while it is still in closed beta.
At the moment, Proton Meet feature requests have to be posted in the general category, which makes them harder to find, track, and discuss. A separate category would improve visibility, feedback quality, and organization for both users and the Proton team.

A Proton-made e2ee Notion-like application that integrates well with Lumo and other Proton products (calendar, email)
I enjoy using Proton's products and would be interested in a second-brain application that works well with other Proton products. Something students, hobbyists, and companies could use to store their ideas, create databases, and compile images/videos. It could be included in the already existing Proton-subscription or as a standalone product.

Display/show disk/storage space usage details
Various apps likely shows a disk space usage, for example ProtonMail desktop app in the bottom-left corner. Clicking it, I would assume to see the details on where the disk space is used, so i can potentially delete some content.
User should be able to see the list of services and its disk space usage, click the service with high usage to see even more details, being able to realize what to delete/cleanup. For example if it is Mail, show the list of largest folders and its sizes. Clicking folder would open it.

Lumo should have its own privacy policy
Title.
All the other Proton product do (https://proton.me/legal/privacy). Privacy policies are obligatory in many jurisdictions.
Btw, in my eyes, the absence of this policy is a sign Proton is moving too fast with too little consideration given to important business decisions.

Keyboard shortcuts in Proton Sheets
Hello, Proton Team,
I know the keyboard shortcuts is a thing that Proton Docs already has, I believe this would be a great idea to have in Proton Sheets too, simply because it rises user's productivity, or says working speed.
And... if possible, I personally prefer Microsoft Excel's design. But maybe there are some more people prefer other services' design. I'm not sure. Maybe this could be discussing more or held a poll ? Anyway, even if don't take any reference from the existed app, it will be fine still, as long as the shortcut design is user-friendly.
Sincerely,
