Tails OS and Proton AG
I'll address this as a problem, not an opinion. First, the Proton Pass and Proton VPN Tor (Firefox) extensions don't work at all on Tails OS, and no Linux apps, especially Proton Mail Bridge, work properly (in .deb format). I know Tails OS is a Linux distribution focused on security and high-level privacy, but Proton and its privacy mission are excellently supported. My journalist colleagues and I have been using Proton Mail for a long time, and it's an indispensable service for us. I urge the Proton team to address this issue as soon as possible. If possible, contact Tails…

Antivirus and firewall
I'm willingly to move to Proton ecosystem if they provide an antivirus and firewall like any other company does. I hope Proton will consider my suggestion in the future.

Add "Proton Authenticator" in the "Report a Problem" dialog ;-)
Proton Authenticator is missing in the "Report a Problem" category drop down list.

Desktop Application & Chrome extension integration
Proton services and products do not integrate seamlessly and currently clash with each other. This is an issue across multiple services and not just a Proton VPN issue.
The issue specific to Proton VPN;
If both desktop application and browser extension is active at the same time, no connection is available in the browser (Vivaldi in this case, which offers built-in support for Proton VPN).Solution;
The browser extension should detect if the desktop application has an active VPN connection before attempting to create its own VPN connection. Similarly, the desktop application should detect if a browser extension is currently…3 votes -
Use Proton subscription storage in Standard Notes
My Standard Notes subscription is limited to 100MB. However, I have 500GB in Proton Drive.
I would like to make use of those 500GB in Standard Notes!!17 votes -
Feature Request: Unified Sync & Health Audit Tool for Proton Apps
First, thank you for your continued work on security, privacy, and open-source transparency. Proton has built incredible trust by consistently investing in external audits and making code available for inspection.
I’d like to propose a Unified Sync & Health Audit Tool to strengthen reliability across Proton services (Mail, Drive, Pass, Calendar, Authenticator, VPN and etc). While current audits cover security and privacy, there is no integrated way for users to verify that all Proton apps are syncing correctly, consistently, and without errors across devices.
Problem
• Users sometimes experience sync delays, failed uploads, or conflicts (especially with Drive and multi-device…3 votes -
Simplify 'Move to Folder' Button
When I want to move an email to a custom folder, I have to select the folder from the drop-down menu and press 'Apply'. Rather, simply pressing the name of the custom folder should move that email to that folder, thereby removing the need to press 'Apply'.

Firefox-first Proton Scribe Browser Extension
I currently use LanguageTool, although not only did they recently switch to reCAPTCHA, they've been using Doubleclick for longer than I can remember.
As such, I'd appreciate it if there were a Proton Scribe browser extension, especially because I've been planning on upgrading to Proton Unlimited, and it would seem more worth-it if there were a writing system bundled in.
I suggest making it Firefox-first to respect users who have gone out of their way to switch away from Chromium.5 votes -
Proton Text to speech engine
How about a proton text to speech engine? There is a private one named Sherpa text to speech engine. Check here: https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa. The google/samsung ones are privacy nightmares. Lumo and other proton apps would have the ability to integrate with it.

Slideshow in Proton Drive - Photos
As a user, I would like to have a slideshow feature in order to play a short movie of my souvenirs of certain event.
It would be available in each album as a button next to {Add photos, download, share}, but also as an appearing button when several photos are selected.
When clicking, a small panel will appear with some default options checked and a button “launch slideshow”. The options would be about the duration of each photo, the transition effect and others (I would avoid cringe/elevators music though).
Complementary feature: this slideshow could be shared as a private video…8 votes -
app lock
This is primarily focused on the desktop version of the application. On my iOS device, I can already require Face ID, but I’d love to see enhancements to the App Lock feature in Proton Mail and Authenticator. Specifically, adding the option to use biometric authentication (fingerprint or face recognition) or a passcode would provide an extra layer of security and convenience. This would give users greater flexibility in protecting access to their 2FA codes while also aligning with best practices for securing sensitive applications.

shared workspace
Shared workspaces would be nice because we have a drive and we're meeting soon. You can share files and chat with each other in a space where you can share files and chat with each other, like Teams/Sharepoint. We already have a drive, and we get meet soon. I think this will make it complete.

Rename mobile apps
The current apps on Android all have the prefix "Proton <App>". Personally, I'm not a fan. My app drawer has all apps under the letter P and it doesn't matter what function the app has. I would expect Drive under D, Mail under M, Calender under C etc.
I would like the apps to be renamed to e.g. "Drive by Proton", translated to each language so the apps show up where the other apps with the corresponding function are.

Ability to share files/folders with non-proton users by sharing a link and password instead of having to create an account
Absolutely need the ability to share a link to a file or folder on Proton Drive with a non-proton user without them having to create an account at all, e.g. proton user could simply share a password with the recipient and they could then access the file or folder via a link with that password.
The fact recipients have to create an account makes them opt out and request the use of unsecured channels for file sharing. This is NOT the way. Please add this ability to remove this important element of friction that’s preventing users from using proton services…

Integration with writing tablets
Privacy concerned users, such as journalists, would benefit from Proton Drive integration in emerging writing tablet devices.
Would love Proton to collaborate note and book annotation sync features with Amazon, Boox, Kobo, reMarkable, and other prominent writing tablet manufacturers. Too many of these devices vendor lock notes inside proprietary, non-endtoend encrypted services, with only manual export options.

Reduce Proton Mail Memory Usage

More optimisation would be very welcome!4 votes -
Server capacity & disconnection issues
Hello ProtonVPN Support Team,
I’m using ProtonVPN free and facing serious problems while connecting:
Because nearby servers (e.g., Netherlands, Poland, Romania) are often full, I’m frequently routed to very distant servers like Singapore or Japan, which causes high latency.
While connected, sometimes the server suddenly reaches capacity or, due to my modem’s same-SSID issue (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz switching), the connection drops and I’m forced onto another server. This makes online games disconnect instantly.
When I try to switch servers multiple times, the client enforces a long cooldown, which forces me to wait unnecessarily.
Since free servers are very…

General Link Tracking Protection
Hi team!
I know that removal of tracking IDs in emails is currently being worked on, and I think this is a great feature that I can't wait to see fully implemented, but I think proton can take it further and clean links outside of the proton ecosystem. There are a couple of apps that currently try to do this (Léon URL Cleaner, Link Sanitizer and, URLCheck) and they are all very immature implementations. As proton is already creating the mechanisms to complete this function from email, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to expand the capability to…

Sign Photos with My Proton Mail Key (like Guardian Project’s ProofMode)
What I want:
A single “Sign with Proton” action that works everywhere—when I’m composing in Mail, uploading to Drive, or sharing a file from any third‑party app (camera, scanner, office suite). It should use the exact private key I already have for signing Proton Mail messages, just like the Guardian Project’s ProofMode signs photos and videos.Why it matters:
One key, all files – One cryptographic identity protects my emails, documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, photos, and videos.
Traditional document signing – The same PGP/ECC signature that lawyers and businesses trust for contracts can now be applied to any file without leaving Proton.

Option to copy to different calendar and make modifiable.
I often receive calendar invitations like "John meeting", where my name is John. When Lesley sends me such a calendar entry I would want to change it to "Lesley+John meeting" and having many John meetings in my calendar is unhelpful.
I understand that it makes some sense that for me the meeting is read only (but overriding that would open up other useful options).
So I ask Proton to allow me copy the event into my calendar, and modify the copy. Thanks in advance.4 votes
