Proton Gateway for all services
The idea would be to have secure gateways (managed by Proton AND the community, via a Proton installer and/or procedure) with no logging capability whatsoever, systematically masking the IPs that "Proton services" can see. These gateways would be "black boxes" for those who install them at home, ensuring that absolutely no data or logs could be retrieved or used.
Let me explain: Similar to what SimpleX.chat does, for example, these relay servers/gateways would be systematically contacted by Proton apps (mobile, desktop, etc.), masking the use of Proton services (especially if connected to a server managed by a community member) and…

Hide unused labels instead of delete them
Sometime a label is useful during a certain period of time. Despite a label is no longer applied to new messages, it is still important to be kept to tag old ones. For example, a messages related to a renovation you've made to your house in the past. The renovation is over, but you want to keep the history.
For the sake of cleanliness, It would be useful to be able to hide unused old label from the side bar. Messages tag with that label should still be found though.

Ability to backup only the new photos you take on your phone, not all photos
It would be nice to have the option to backup only the new photos you take on your phone, not all photos that are on your phone, because I already backup my photos of the previous years in seperate folders in Proton Drive. Now I have duplicate photos. I have the same photos in seperate folders in Proton Drive and the same photos in the Photos tab. With this way I use a lot of my storage. I used to use the Sync.com app and they had this feature.

Transparency in Digital Services Builds Long-Term User Trust
ProtonMail has earned user trust by putting privacy and transparency first, and this approach could be extended even further through clearer explanations of how internal metrics and limits are calculated. When users manage subscriptions, storage usage, or plan upgrades, simple and transparent breakdowns help them make informed decisions without relying on guesswork.
Across the web, users are increasingly familiar with tools that clearly show how numbers are derived, similar to how platforms offering <a href="https://calcolostipendioneto.it/">simulazione busta paga mensile</a> explain structured calculations step by step. Applying the same clarity to ProtonMail’s account-related data would reinforce confidence while fully respecting privacy-first design…

Need a feature to manually pick "icons" for our codes in the new standalone Authenticator app
As the title suggests. The app is new and lacks this basic feature. When I create an 2FA secret, it just selects the service icons itself and I can't manually change the icons to my liking. Please add a way for us to change it.
Also the Authenticator app seems to lacks many services icons please add them.

Beef up passkeys by requiring hardware security key or 2fa code authentication
I am concerned with how easy it is to activate passkeys with Proton Pass. Let's say that someone's child or sibling were using their computer and snooped at their account, either on purpose or on accident. If that account doesn't have a passkey they would have to at least click through to autofill the username/password boxes, which at that point their conscious would tell them this is wrong and they might turn back (we can hope!). But if that account uses a passkey, it is as easy as clicking the pop-up and it is easier for someone to be tempted…

Proton Sandboxie
You could run apps inside of a sandbox. Proton's zero knowledge architecture would mean that non of the info inside could be read by proton or anyone.

Strong Password Unlock for Browser Extension & App–Extension Linking
I really enjoy using Proton Pass, but I have two feature requests that would greatly improve my security workflow:
Full Master Password Unlock Option for the Browser Extension
Currently, the extension mainly relies on a PIN for quick unlock. I would like to have the option to always require my full master password (just like in the desktop/mobile app) instead of a PIN, for added security.Linked Unlock Between App and Browser Extension
It would be very convenient if unlocking the Proton Pass desktop app would also unlock the browser extension (and vice versa), similar to how some other password…10 votes -
Hardware Password Manager (Ledger-Style Keyboard Emulator)
I would like to propose the development of a Proton hardware password manager, similar in concept to Ledger (used for crypto), but designed specifically for secure credential storage and input, while fully aligned with Proton's privacy principles.
🔐 Core Concept:
A dedicated, tamper-resistant USB hardware device that:
Stores passwords securely offline Presents a list of stored usernames only to the user Prompts the user on-device (via a screen + buttons or touchscreen) to select and approve password entry Emulates a USB keyboard to type the selected password into the target system (not via clipboard or memory injection)This way, passwords…

Proton Drive full-text search
As it is already possible in Google Drive I would like to be able to search for keywords inside my Drive documents (OCR scan, docs, sheets etc.). Once this funtionality is enabled count me and my family in.

Log in with QR code
I'm using Proton Pass for all logins. But to start using it on a new device I have to manually enter my Proton password there. It would be very nice to be able to scan a QR code by already logged in device instead.
Here is an example of this feature implemented: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/log-in-with-qr-code.html

Emergency access - read-only, customizing what they can see/access
1) https://proton.me/blog/emergency-access nor https://proton.me/support/emergency-access explains if emergency contact can change account password/key which they have accessed (taking over account). It does not explain any other protections.
2) Also the account owner should be able to limit emergency user access to read-only, maybe just for a limited time like 1-2 years, during which owner has ability to reset the emergency user access and they have to request again.
3) Owner should be able to limit access only to some services, like for example Drive or even certain folder of a Drive or Mail. This possibility I have not seen announced in…

Access to Proton Bridge cache offline ? (with full-text caching)
Could it be possible to make Proton Bridge cache accessible offline ?
The idea behind it is to be able to have a full cache of all mails text contents (or at least for the last x months).
It would be helpful as the current alternative is to do that client-side which will store it usually unencrypted (if i'm not mistaken) whereas Proton Bridge cache is still encrypted.
The use-case would be to ensure an always up to date, always encrypted, local "backup access" to the mail box content.
... but i probably ignore some security protocol constrains :)3 votes -
Add "invite others to Proton" to the dashboard or menu
Under the user profile is 'help and feedback' but why not offer a hotlink for "send invitation for Proton service" to friends and colleagues. Of course, I will copy/paste the homepage and email to my Japanese colleagues, but having the "invite now" button might be attractive to the Proton users who want to invite others to join. For your consideration.

Consistent Cross-Platform Functionality
Proton apps should offer consistent functionality across mobile, desktop, and the web. Currently, several important actions are only available in one version, forcing users to switch platforms unnecessarily.
Examples:
Proton Drive: File sharing cannot be initiated from the mobile or desktop app and requires opening the web version. Sharing should be possible directly within the apps.
Calendar: Sharing a calendar with another Proton user currently works only on desktop, not on mobile.

Mail: Bad dark mode UX for email signatures
Proton Mail corrupts my own signature when composing emails in dark mode. For no good reason, signatures draft as light mode blocks, in an otherwise entirely dark mode platform.

Proton Sheets - does not support array-like indexing, example it does not have a way to dynamic skip rows automatically.
the formula for this is :
=SUMPRODUCT(CHOOSE(MOD(SEQUENCE(COUNTA(D10:D19))-1,2)+1, 4, 1), D10:D19)
to multiply odd elements by 4 before sum the product
=SUMPRODUCT(IF(ISODD(SEQUENCE(ROWS(D10:D19))), 4, 1), D10:D19)
or sum the product of two arrays but IF is not expanded to a array
Both should work but none do.2 votes -
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 -
return to inbox button after you empty the trash folder
is there a chance that when you empty the trash folder and you want to go back to the inbox folder can a back to inbox folder button be put in the trash folder after the trash folder is empty instead of having to go back to the inbox.
