Freeform + Standard Notes = Proton Notes
Proton acquired Standard Notes but has yet to integrate it into Proton's Office Suite both technically and subscription-wise. Also, Apple released the Freeform app a few years ago which is honestly the best hand-writing program ever released on a tablet.
If Proton is planning on upgrading and integrating Standard Notes into the Proton Drive suite, it should also include a handwriting feature similar to Apple's Freeform so people can handwrite their notes or draw on their tablets (within an encrypted space of course).
Also include a dark mode because Freeform doesn't have this yet and the bright light of the…

Allow upload of photos for Lumo on iOS
Currently the upload functionality for Lumo app on iOS only allows the upload of files, not photos. It would be nice to be able to upload photos too.

Send Email As Group
Send Email As Group:The ability for authorized members of a Proton Mail Group to send emails as the group. Currently Proton Mail Groups support the receiving of emails through the group email alias but not the sending of mails as the group alias. This feature exists, by contrast, in the analogous Google Workspace group feature.

Proposal: A Unified "All-Inclusive" Plan with Lumo Plus & Multi-User Options
Hello Proton Team,
I am writing to strongly suggest the creation of a new, unified subscription plan that bundles all Proton services—including Lumo Plus—into a single, affordable package.
Currently, the separation between the core privacy suite (Mail, Drive, VPN, etc.) and the AI assistant (Lumo Plus) creates a barrier for users who want a complete privacy ecosystem. Having to pay for a family plan (like Duo or Family) and then purchase Lumo Plus as a separate, additional subscription for each user makes the total cost prohibitively high for many families and individuals.
My specific proposal:

Bounded Grid
Hi Proton team,
I'd like to request the ability to set a bounded grid in Proton Sheets, essentially, the ability to define the last column (and/or row) of a spreadsheet so that anything beyond it is not displayed.
Currently, Proton Sheets uses an unbounded grid, meaning the spreadsheet extends infinitely to the right and downward. While functional, this creates a lot of visual noise when working with small, focused spreadsheets. The endless empty columns make it harder to stay focused on the actual data.
Google Sheets handles this well by allowing users to delete columns entirely, shrinking the sheet's total…

Please give some attention to Simple Login.
Simple Login has been abandoned for 4 years now. The apps are extremely outdated. Addy.io (the competition of SL) has been taking strides in development during the past few months. Their apps are very modern, feature rich. SL can't even replace capital letters by small letters and gives errors all the time when creating aliases. Mostly autofill doesn't work as we have to click and edit the auto filled email or it doesn't register on most websites. It just visually populates the field but doesn't really type anything unless you edit it.

Tarifs spéciaux pour les organismes sans but lucratifs
Proton ne pourra pas compétitionner la suite Google auprès de nombreux organismes sans but lucratif s'il n'offre pas un tarif abordable pour contrer le fait que la suite Google est gratuite auprès de ces organismes. L'idéal serait une offre semblable à celle de Google, mais à la limite une offre qui se rapproche de la gratuité pourrait inciter plusieurs OBNL à migrer vers la suite Proton.

Swaping files (left and right) in Proton Drive Mobile iOS like in Photos
After opening a file (ex : picture) in Proton Drive mobile, would it please be possible to add the possibility to change files by sliding left or right (previous/next) as it is already to the case in Photos?
Right now, we have to close the file by cliking "Done" (or dragging down) and then opening the new file.
Hope it will be a easy fix. Thanks for your hard work.2 votes -
Side Panel in Mail/Drive should show ALL Proton Apps by default (Drive, Docs, Sheets...)
Currently, the Side Panel of my Proton installation only shows a few apps (Mail, Calendar). For exemple, Proton Drive and Proton Docs are missing. This makes navigation difficult (incl for Duo/Unlimited users) who want to stay within the Proton ecosystem. Please add a 'Show All Apps' button or pin Drive/Docs by default.

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.

Run Immich server on proton drive, instead of the custom and very rudimentary photos feature we have now
Hi,
the new photos feature is a nice direction, but a far cry from all the competitors.
So why not use an feature rich open source software like Immich, let it run on the Proton Drive storage and don't spend resources reinventing the wheel.
This would be a smart move!
Photos integration in drive is too basic and will take years to rival Google Photos etc, if at all.

Set a Default Self-Destruct on all incoming mail.
To keep inboxes, and even folders, under control I find myself using the self destruct frequently. However, it takes time to set for many emails. I suggest being able to set a default self destruct timer on every incoming (and outgoing) email, that I could disable only on the emails that I would actually like to keep long-term.

Proton Coding
Hello Proton, thank you very much and great respect, for all the masterpieces you create. I would very much like to have an alternative to Github at Proton where you can work cleanly, safely and privately. That would bring an absolute well-being for us IT workers. I had published a survey at the beginning of 2025 who agreed, and 922 out of 1000 real IT workers would find that absolutely great. So over 92% of IT workers would find it commendable to have a "Proton Coding" product available. Best Regards:)

Add a function in the settings to automatically add "Request Read Receipt" to email
It would improve convenience to not click "request read receipt" every time you write an email. A function that does that for you automatically would be great.

Adopt WEBCAT for all web-based applications
The whole existence of Proton revolves around a trustworthy, easy-to-use suite of end-to-end encrypted applications. But one thing is to use Proton's digitally signed mobile applications, another is to use Proton's web-based applications.
So I suggest the early adoption of WEBCAT, a Freedom of the Press Foundation project currently in alpha.
From their website (https://webcat.tech/):
"""
The ProblemWebsites can change their code at any time, and HTTPS alone does not guarantee that every user receives the same, intended web application. WEBCAT addresses this by enabling signed delivery and transparency log–backed distribution of participating web applications, allowing end users…

Have the same features on the iOS Proton Mail app as on the Windows app
I really need to be able to manage my filters and reorganize my folders on the iOS app.
This is possible on the Windows app.
When a feature is released somewhere, it should be implemented in all apps.3 votes -
DarkMode on Website/About Pages
Proton has DarkMode on all of its applications/software/websites but not on the homepage, about pages, or download pages and I think it would be a great idea to add DarkMode to them.

[Proton Drive] Avoid embedding email in macOS CloudStorage provider folder name
Summary
- Request: Use a non-identifying provider-folder name for Proton Drive on macOS instead of embedding the user’s email in the folder name under ~/Library/CloudStorage.
- Goal: Prevent exposing user email/PII in local filesystem paths while preserving Finder and File Provider integration.Problem
- Current folder names like ProtonDrive-joe@example.com expose users’ emails in paths, backups, logs, screenshots, and scripts.
- This risks accidental sharing of PII (e.g., in support tickets or screenshots).Preferred solution
- Register the provider folder as ProtonDrive-.
- - Example: /Users//Library/CloudStorage/ProtonDrive-8f3a2b/
- - : an 8–12 character stable, non-reversible token (hex or base62) mapped server-side to…2 votes
