Warn if outgoing message is missing an attachment
When I click Send in a new Mail message, warn me if the body text refers to an attachment (e.g. "attached is...", "see attachment...", etc.) but there is no attachment.
(Obviously this would require that Proton scan the body text; not sure if that's something that's prohibited by Proton privacy policies. But the scanning would be done locally, so it shouldn't be an issue.)

c) better community engagement

e) spam prevention
f) integration with core proton products21 votes -
Notification when a photo is shared
I’m using Proton Drive to share photos with my family. It would be great if my family would get a notification when I add something to an album. Now they have to check or I need to tell them. Either a push notification in the app or an e-mail would be very helpful.

Encrypted Backup of all Proton data (like Standard Notes Backup)
An option to create an encrypted Backup of all Proton Account data (probably most important are Mail, Pass, Drive and Wallet) which can be downloaded as a File and be decrypted locally with an open-source (FLOSS) software Proton provides and the Proton Account Password (resp. the Decryption Password if two-password-mode is active).
This feature should work exactly the same way as the backup option of Standard Notes does (https://standardnotes.com/help/14/how-do-i-create-and-import-backups-of-my-standard-notes-data):
- Basicly give the user the data the way you (Proton) see it (fully encrypted with the, to you unknown, Account password)
- Make it possible for the user to decrypt the…

Privacy-conscious age verification application with double anonymity (and ideally on-device, zero-knowledge, and open source)
Governments around the world, especially in Europe, are currently enforcing age verification for social media and other online platforms, in the name of protecting minors. The idea is commendable, but the way it is being done requires users to provide identification to a “trusted” third party and, above all, to link their real identity to their online identity, which completely undermines privacy. We have witnessed enough leaks lately to know that this data will eventually leak if it is stored.
Proton could develop an age verification (or more generally, identity verification) application that could be used on social networks (or…

Proton Notification Carrier
It would be nice to see proton come out with their own notification carrier services. Especially if you are using a phone operating system without google play carrier services/ apple and can't receive push notifications.

Proton Slack/ProChat
As the name implies, to fully migrate both our business operations and personal communications to Proton, a Slack or Discord-like feature is essential. While this is undoubtedly a significant undertaking, I believe there is strong demand for a secure alternative to Slack, and many users, including myself, would be willing to pay for a solution that prioritizes privacy and security at Proton’s standard.

Proton ID and age verification
Proton does great job with offering pseudonymity on the Internet. We need to take it one step further: for users who opt in, reliably verify their identity (maybe for a reasonable fee) and support various standards and protocols to answer questions like is this person an adult, does this person have driving license etc without revealing true identity.

Proton Sheets: Allow selecting which column is used as sorting key
When you select a range in Proton Sheets, and go "sort A->Z", it always sorts based on leftmost column in the selected range. But sometimes the column I want to use as my "A->Z", and have the rest of the selected range sorted by, is not, in fact, the leftmost column. Please add a functionality to choose the column to act as a sort key.

E-mail drag and drop folder expansion
When dragging the e-mail to a nested folder when its parent is collapsed, we need to expand that folder first, then drag. It would be great if the folder would automatically expand while holding the e-mail and hovering above it for 250-500ms.

Keep format when inserting new row in Sheets
When I insert a new row above an existing one, I'd like the format of the existing one to be copied.

Proton Unlimited – A growing gap in the ecosystem?
Might I suggest a closer alignment between Proton Meet and Proton Unlimited?
While one appreciates the realities of resource constraints, the current approach—where an already top-tier plan effectively becomes “upgradeable” (as seen with Meet and Lumo)—undermines the original concept of Unlimited. It begins to feel less like a complete offering and more like a base layer for subsequent add-ons.
If this direction is necessary, a clearer restructuring would be preferable: either introduce a new, higher-tier plan, or reconsider the scope and pricing of the existing ones. As it stands, what was once the definitive individual tier now feels somewhat diluted.

Single Linux yum repo for all Proton apps
Right now the Proton VPN can be installed from a Linux yum repo. For example: https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-42-stable/
This is great, because to update it, all I have to do is run "sudo dnf update", and if there is a new version of Proton VPN available, it gets updated.However, all the other Proton Linux apps (Pass, Authenticator, and the Mail beta) get installed by individual rpm downloads. Which means, if I want to update them, I have to download each rpm individually and re-install it to get the upgrade.
There should be one single yum repo for ALL proton apps, so…

Optional login alias (non-email authentication identifier)
Allow users to create an optional login alias that is not an email address and is used only for authentication.
Example:
• Account email: "username@protonmail.com"
• Login alias: "shaolintemple" (as an example)User can log in with either:
• email address
• existing username (email without domain)
• login alias
• whichever they preferThe login alias would:
• Not receive email
• Not resolve to @proton.me / @protonmail.com
• Be usable only on the login screen
• Be fully optional (opt-in)Why:
For power users, this adds defense-in-depth by preventing easy inference of a user’s email address…

[Lumo] Custom bot feature
I can't find the Proton Lumo below 'Give feedback' on the right column so I'm posting here.
I'm using bots everyday and find the custom bot feature very important. Just some text config and a name for a custom bot should be nice.
Sometimes the generic mood of the bot is not so prefered, a custom bot with fixed info to define a personal assistant in owner's style is good to have. The fitting style of language is better for conversation, like a pal, not a stranger.
Some guys are with such custom bot and free: Gemini Gem, Instagram AI…

Enhance Screen Reader Accessibility of Proton Web and Windows Apps
As a user who relies on screen reader technology to access technology, I have found that the Proton iOS apps are generally well designed for use with Apple's native screen reader, VoiceOver, but the same cannot be said of the web versions of their apps and especially the Windows apps, which are in some cases almost entirely inaccessible for screen reader users.
As a starting point, take what I imagine is your most popular core product, Proton VPN. The Proton VPN Windows app has numerous significant accessibility problems that make many basic features very hard to use and other features…7 votes -
Short link for creating new documents, emails, events, etc.
Excerpt from get.new: .new is a domain extension exclusively for performing new actions online: any act that leads to creation can have a quick and memorable new shortcut associated with it. Help your customers take action faster. Less time clicking means more time creating.
It would be extremely convenient to use proton.new for creating things in Proton. Everything I can think of:
proton.new/doc - New document
proton.new/sheet - New sheet
proton.new/mail & proton.new/email - New email
proton.new/event - New calendar event
proton.new/meeting - New meetingI think the plural forms of the words should work, too: doc & docs, event…
