Detect Busy Git Repositories and Delay Sync to Prevent Corruption
I would like to suggest a feature that would significantly improve reliability when working with Git repositories inside Proton Drive.
Problem:
Git operations (commit, checkout, rebase, merge, gc, etc.) modify many files inside the .git directory and are not atomic at the directory level. If Proton Drive syncs the repository while such an operation is in progress, this can result in corrupted repositories, broken working copies, or inconsistent history.Suggested Solution:
When Proton Drive detects that a directory is a Git repository (contains a .git folder), the sync client should delay syncing that directory while the repository is “busy”.Simple…

End-to-End Encrypted Investment Portfolio Manager
I'd like to propose a new Proton service: an end-to-end encrypted portfolio manager that would complement Proton Wallet.
Similar to services like Finanzfluss Copilot or Parqet Portfolio Manager or even Google Finance, this would be a comprehensive investment tracking tool where users can:
Track stocks, ETFs, bonds, crypto, and other investments
Monitor portfolio performance with real-time market data
Analyze asset allocation and diversification
View historical performance and returns
Track dividends and capital gainsUnlike existing portfolio managers, all user data would be end-to-end encrypted. Only the user would have access to:
What they've invested in
How much they own

Have chat or phone support for mail and calendars
Have a chat or phone support to be able to resolve issues or answer questions on the spot instead of it taking several days.
The possibility to have a conversation would allow much faster resolution and much easier onboarding for new clients.
One email every 24 to 72 hours means it can take over a week to resolve something and customers are stuck until the next email.
In my case it has been 9 days, and I just realised the solution confirmed as valid despite my doubts, by CS in today’s email seems to actually be moot, delaying me again…

Proton Find
New physical product and app, like the Life360 Tile™ where you can connect it to the App and see the location of the product. Make your own app with a map and put it on IOS and Android. maybe even some different localizer shapes, like a Credit Card style localizer, or the classic Tile look. If you ever do this, which I doubt, make it available on big online Stores like Amazon where we can get it. I'd buy this if it's really private, vote if you would too

Add a chat feature for unusual problems
Sometime things come up which are unusual and difficult to characterize. A chat feature (even an AI generated one) would be helpful.

Reduce # of clicks to move a message
Hi there! When I highlight a message and click the "Move" option, a list of folders is presented, requiring a second click on the chosen folder and a third click on the Move button.
It would be faster to double-click the appropriate folder in order to move the message. Alternatively, as you type in the filter box, when the correct folder name is displayed, allow the user to hit the Enter key to move the item to the displayed folder.
It takes a cursor move + 2 extra clicks to move an item to the desired folder. Having used Gmail…

Subject: Feature proposal – “Proton Phone” built on Pixel 7
Hi Proton Team,
I’m a long‑time Proton user and recently explored turning a Pixel 7 into a dedicated “Proton phone” that makes Proton Mail, VPN, Drive, Pass, and Calendar the native, system‑level experience.
Key points of the concept:
- Hardened OS base (GrapheneOS) with verified boot and Titan M security.
- Proton apps installed as system apps for privileged permissions.
- Auto‑connect Proton VPN with kill‑switch, default mail/calendar handlers, and a unified “Proton Settings” UI.
- Optional Magisk module for seamless OTA updates of Proton apps.
- Full‑device encryption, firewall rules, and minimal bloatware.I’ve drafted a step‑by‑step implementation plan and would…

Create email filter within message.
I use filters and labels a lot.
Instead of having to dig into Settings > Filters, I'd like to just select the sender address and Add to Filter or Create New Filter.
I'm most often in the MacOs desktop app but sometimes in the iOS app.

Mailbox for Unread E-mails in ProtonMail
Dedicated mailbox for unread emails:
An inbox that displays only unread messages would be very useful for users who want to focus solely on new items.Persistence of the “Unread” filter:
As an alternative, when applying the “Unread” filter in the “All Mail” mailbox, it would be helpful if this setting remained active when navigating between folders and upon returning, avoiding the need to reapply the filter each time.

More Free Folders Please
Can you up max folders in Free Proton Mail from 3, to say 10? Just signed up for a new Proton Mail acct, looking to switch to a new platform. But VERY disapp'd to see 3's the limit! Between that and all the upgrade reminders, I'm not so sure Proton's my answer. Merci from Canada!!

There should be a button in the email client that opens attached files immediately without having to save file to disk with name.
Currently you click a file attachment and it might say "Preiew for this file type is not supported" and the email client displays a Download button. In other mail clients, there is usually an accompanying "Open" button, which saves the file to a temporary location on the harddrive and then opens it with the system's registered associated program.
On windows, they use the "open" utility, on linux it's xdg-open, etc, you can avoid having to save a file with a name to a location and then find that file to open it by just having a button that says "Open"…

Hide the unread count for spam
Currently, the Spam category shows a count of unread emails. This is kind of attention-grabbing when scanning the sidebar for what I should be paying attention to, so it would be nice to either not show it at all, or have an option not to show it.
The same goes for Trash emails, these things should be more “out of the way”.
This is especially annoying in the mobile app, because there is no way to hide the archive/spam/trash/all-mails like there is on web.
There are several requests and/or hacks for this on Reddit:

A small picklist of favorites of email recipients at the top - just tap to pick a regular recipient.
Especially on a phone, rather than trying to type in an address until it differentiates from recent, have a user configurable number of favorites (including zero, which prevents the favorite section from showing up) to choose from. Additionally, allow a user defined grouping: eg selecting my "hikers" favorite autofills the To, Cc, and Bcc fields with predefined recipients.

Simpler log-in to Proton services with QR code
I like being able to log-in on proton services on a browser using a QR code scanned on my phone by the mail app. It doesn't require entering my password and going through 2FA each time.
However, it is seen as a recovery method at the moment, and thus hidden behind multiple menus (on the browser and on the Android mail app).
Is there a reason to not have this method as a standard way of log-in, with the feature available in the higher level menus? It would be even more convenient to have it as a quick action on…

New Product: ProtonCut
I’d like to suggest that Proton develop and release a new service called "ProtonCut," similar to CapCut, focused on easy video cutting, merging, and editing, with optional AI-based features. This service could integrate directly into the Proton ecosystem, protecting user privacy while allowing cloud uploads of projects to Proton Drive.
Free users could access basic editing tools, while advanced Pro features—such as high-end AI editing, premium transitions, and export options—would be exclusive to Proton Visionary, Proton Unlimited, Family, Duo, or subscribers to "ProtonCut Plus," a new subscription that, like VPN Plus or Mail Plus, offers only the premium benefits specific…
