1. Partition data access within services via unique secondary cryptographic keying and passwords

   One of the things that keep me up at night as the broad exposure given to my data anywhere I am signed in on my proton account. Here's some threat examples:

   • Suppose I am signed in to my email on my phone, should my phone or that email app ever become compromised, literally every email and the ability to send and receive future emails to/from all addresses (should the compromise remain undetected) belongs to whoever compromised it
   • Suppose I wish to store extremely sensitive passwords alongside less sensitive ones, one proton pass login allows access to all of it
   • Same goes for proton drive, if I have sensitive photos and documents along side general notes and such, one password unlocks it all unilaterally.

   I'd like to essentially see an opt-in capability to create an arbitrary number of partitions, each with unique keying, and criteria for what uses that keying. E.g:

   • On proton mail you could elect that certain sender or recipient addresses go into certain partitions, along with a default
   • On proton drive, you could drill down first into a particular partition, and then everything beneath it is uniquely encrypted; this is essentially the same idea that proton pass would use

   You would be able to unlock none, one, or any combination of available keys to access the partitions and that access would be established with a password (unique per partition), and the partition would be unlocked for the duration of your login session, cleared at logout.

   If I had this functionality there would be certain things, I could stratify by sensitivity as well as separation of concerns, e.g. I do not need to decrypt my phone's photo library every time I access proton drive, I don't need to decrypt tax returns to work on my writing. I don't need to unlock all my most sensitive emails from my phone just to have access to hotel and transit emails whwen on travel, and if I do need access to additional emails, I can decrypt just the level I care about and close access afterward. Ideally proton can optionally require a 2fa auth to retrieve the additional data so that even if someone caches the keying material somehow, they still won't get future data after closing the partition.

2. Provide a checksum option to verify data is backed up as expected

   It would be great if we could calculate a SHA512 checksum for files or folders we want to make sure have been backed up with absolutely no corruption. Make the feature on-demand, and not for every file anyone uploads to prevent unnecessary workload.

3. Add Modern Fonts (e.g., Inter) for Improved Readability and Writing Experience

   Hello,

   I would like to suggest adding more modern font options in Proton Mail, such as Inter or system UI fonts. These fonts improve readability and provide a cleaner, more professional look compared to traditional options like Arial or Verdana.

   I understand this may not be a priority, but it would be a really nice enhancement to the overall writing experience if implemented.

   Thank you for your work and consideration.

4. Markdown notes app

   Markdown app request

   A secure, private markdown notes app would:
   * Open new revenue opportunities
   * Extend Proton’s privacy ecosystem
   * Expand customer's digital workflows
   * Leverage existing encryption technology
   * Clearly meet user demand (well, at least mine)
   * Reinforce the promise of “privacy by design.”

   I am using Obsidian and really like it, yet unencrypted notes on my devices is a significant concern.

5. Separate second passwords per service

   Right now there’s a second password for the email account. Can we set a different second password per service and choose whether to use it or not?

   The issue is that when I log into Drive or Authenticator, they ask for the email’s second password — which isn’t secure. I set that second password specifically for email, so that if I enter my password in another service, nobody could use it to access my mailbox.

   For example, I don’t need a second password for Authenticator or VPN. Sometimes I log into my VPN at my parents’ place, and I don’t see a problem if it stays logged in there — I only use it on two devices anyway.

8. Add better filter/sort for Inbox in Proton Mail

   While filters allow you to set up rules for moving emails to other folders, I find when I do that I often miss important emails because I watch my inbox but don't have time to regularly go through every folder. When it's time to clean out my inbox (currently have 357 unread messages), it's nice to go through them by sender. I can sort by the size of the email or the receipt date, but not by sender. I can type in a filter at the top, but I have to remember to check "Inbox" or it shows me everything. I'm not particular about the mechanism, but a few options would be: sorting by sender; having saved searches I can flip between; or making Inbox the default on searches, whether globally or through an option I can change. The saved search filters would be particularly nice, but just adding a sort option for Sender, and maybe Subject, would be nice.

10. The total revamping of onboarding guidance

    Proton currently fails to guide you as a new user. I've introduced some people into my Visionary plan recently and realized that there's very little comprehensive guidance of switching into the ecosystem. This should be a defined workflow from Proton if they want to market themselves as an ecosystem.

    Here's how you import, sort your emails and set up filters.
    Here's how you import passwords, set up aliases, 2FA and migrate to Proton, while keeping backups so you don't lose data.
    Here's how you can switch to Proton Drive, set things up and here are our suggested workflows.
    This should be a flow that STARTS immediately.

11. And I.D.E. (Independent Developing Enviroment)

    Why not make an IDE. Proton is all about privacy so why not make one. You can easily integrate Lumo into the work space as a chat bot for building app structures, code, etc. You can integrate git repositories that have E2EE encryption as a part of privacy and have the ability to import files from proton drive or save files to the drive

12. A simple zero knowledge peer-to-peer file transfer service

    I believe this technology already exists. My understanding of it might be incorrect or limited as I'm not a developer myself.

    Essentially, when using WebRTC, the transferred data does not need to be saved on a server, but there has to be a relay server to connect the two computers. That means the users themselves carry the cost of storage and data transfer. Copyright infringement or other illegal material would not be an issue either as the service provider is comparable to a phoneline operator.

    Commercial comparables include ToffeeShare (EU) & partially Wormhole (United States). Wormhole saves files smaller than 5 GB for 24 hours in order to enable the ability to pause and resume. ToffeeShare does not save any data, which means the transfer must always be fully completed or it must restart from zero. This can be an issue for large files and unstable connections. Both are closed source, so one has to take their word for it.

    Many FOSS comparables exist, such as Magic Wormhole & croc. These are perfectly functional but don't satisfy an average person's UX expectations.

    Such a service would likely not be a revenue driver, but would make a useful addition to the Proton toolkit.

13. Plain Text Editor

    Support/create a true plain text editor. Opening text/txt files from Proton Drive would open a true plain text editor instead of the Docs rich-text editor. A true plain text editor would provide a lean, efficient tool for all text-only content. I migrated from Apple to Proton because Apple Notes does not support plain text..it is glitchy with slow, bloated rich-text features (same issue with Microsoft SharePoint). A Proton text-only editor would be lean, fast, efficient...it would standout in the marketplace as the only ecosystem with a text-only editor.

14. Zero Reliance on Web/Browser Interface

    Please have full versioned, fully functional (including anything you can do in the online version including settings, mailbox rules, etc: full parity) locally installable programs for all products or that includes multiple products (Mail app that has Drive, Meet and Calendar and a pass/auth/wallet maybe) that is completely usable when offline and will resume any queued emails in outbox or shared files or updated events, etc. once internet service resumes. Not everyone has persistent internet due to things like geographical location or security protocols. Additionally, should be able to configure Drive to be utilised in the programs of choice like one can use NextCloud as a storage/sync option in OnlyOffice for instance and file format portability so whatever is created by users in Proton's native apps can be opened or exported to similar programs of choice or saved to the folder or location of choice. Basically, the only reason someone would need to log into the Proton website is to do something account management related.

16. Configure spellchecker language in desktop app

    In a browser, Proton Mail benefits from the browser functions to spell check. In the new Proton Mail installed application, the language cannot be configured or I do not know how to do it...

    It would be very useful to be able to configure the spell checker language for people that are writing in a language that is different than the OS language used.

19. 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 management and consumption of media, which are stored on the Proton Drive.

    Have 2 options, one to choose to download the media in a compressed quality and the other in the original quality, a solution to avoid excessive storage consumption. And when you are connected to the internet, temporarily download the media in original quality.

    Automatic upload of media, but keeping the original structure of the folder.

    Option to create more than one "General Gallery", to separate media/albums from work and family media, in case you wanted to access media in public and don't want to expose your professional life to other people. Basically don't display certain albums in a "General Gallery", and display and another.

    Choose whether offline media in original or compressed quality can be displayed in other apps or continue only in Proton Photos.

    Choose whether to download the media, or just consume it online via the internet.

    Advanced editing options, with the option to upload a new edited version of the file or as a new file to Drive.

    Proton Cloud:

    A service that basically serves to organize the current and future services of the Proton ecosystem, as all services use the Cloud, there will have to be a way to organize all of them, and it can be integrated into an operating system with IOS with Apple's opening up to the new EU laws against monopoly, thus replacing iCloud, it can also be done on Android or a Custom Rom.

    Integration with a device's operating system, thus managing all device backups.

    Subscription management.

    Monitoring and Management of Proton services.

    Proton Docs:

    Docs has recently been created on the web, it has not yet reached the app stores.

    Rely on other services or maintain identity?

    I know that some will mention Google Photos, Ente Photos or iCloud, but the proposal of each of them is totally different from Proton's proposal.

    Ente Photos is basically an online vault that automatically uploads random media, its proposal is to consume media only online.

    Google Photos is literally the Google Drive that displays only media, the popularity is due to the company's name, promotion by hired digital influencers and advertising, and especially the lack of competition in the Android market.

    iCloud uses two-way sync, which is not designed for backup, so the chances of losing all your media are high. And it's also limited to Apple devices only.

    So after analyzing their proposal, it makes no sense to want to take away the identity of Proton in integration with the operating system, even more so now with the opening of IOS to developers, which will facilitate the addition of advanced and integrated functions to the system, probably the same will happen with Android and other operating systems.

    Not to mention that with the future possibility of escaping the 30% mandatory fees of the app stores, the demand for other Galleries will skyrocket in the market, since the prices of iCloud and Google Photos do not stop increasing, and they will not decrease the 30%. And the number of people looking for privacy has been Increasing dramatically lately.

    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.
