Proton Sheets: date selector year input
There is already a date selector in Sheets (clicking a date in a cell brings up a date picker), but navigating back several years can be cumbersome because it only lets you scroll through the months. If it were also possible to change the year - either by typing it in or by scrolling through the years - that would be much faster. I know it’s possible to type the date, but using the date picker is far easier for me (if this year-thing would be solved).

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…6 votes -
Proton drive embedding for proton keyboard
I know there's already a lot of discussion on proton keyboard so I'm not gonna go deep into it, but as we know, the reason many people don't use privacy keyboards is due to convenience, therefore, if a proton keyboard does come out, then an amazing feature would be connecting it to your proton drive to embed medias quickly
This will make people use drive storage a lot quicker, leading to more purchases and stuff5 votes -
Moving rows/cells in Proton Docs
Currently, if I insert a table into a document in Proton Docs, I can not move the row or cells afterwards.
This seems like a missing feature or even a bug that has been overlooked the past months, because the icon to move things is there, but it doesn't do anything if clicked or dragged.

Adding photos/screenshots to Proton Calendar entries
Setting up an event in Proton Calendar can be a bit time consuming.
Instead, it would be neat if you could just copy paste a screenshot into the "description" field or even adding an "attachment" field.The issue may be longer sync times, because more data has to be moved. Reaching the MB limit of the account could also become an issue.
Thus, if this feature would be added, I'd also like the feature: "Delete attachments from calendar entries in the past" --> "Yes", "No".

Download all files (including Docs) like Google Takeout
One button, or command line tool, that will download all files and Proton Docs files to my local computer.
You can implement this first in the browser with File System Access API. That is a single popup. And then you can do all the decrypting/rendering/saving from the browser. Yes really.

Separate PIN for Proton Authenticator for iOS
Currently, you can only log in to Proton Authenticator with your mobile phone PIN. To increase user security, I would welcome the option of choosing a separate PIN, as is the case with Proton Pass.

Anti-Virus Software
Proton has lots of great privacy features but I would love to see a malwarebytes type of software be created. It could scan your system for spyware, viruses, etc.

Proton Docs - Scaling line height with font size
When adjusting the font size to be small to fit a lot of content on a single page for printing, the line height spacing does not scale correctly. Right now, I'm annoyingly having to hack this myself by disabling the margin-top on the html before printing:
.DocumentEditor > :not(:first-child, [class*="Lexicalh"]), .DocumentEditor > .Lexicalparagraph:not(:first-child) {
margin-top: .75rem;
}Since signing up for Proton, I've been impressed in the overall quality of the products and services. There's just a number of quality of life features that are holding it back to be a complete replacement for document usage.
I do…

Proton Sheets - Bringing in data from another sheet
For some complex spreadsheet projects, it's not uncommon for sheets to pull data in from either another worksheet in the same workbook or another worksheet from another workbook. In Google Sheets, this would be accomplished with the IMPORTRANGE() formula. This would be helpful for things like reducing workbook complexity, isolating concerns, gating collaborator access, and abstracting sensitive information.
So basically, an IMPORTRANGE() equivalent for Proton Sheets. Thanks for your time!

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 data centers all over the world under driveways and sidewalks and parking lots?
One thing I've noticed is that loading can be a bit slow and you probably need processing power in various locations. I was wishing for something to melt the snow on my driveway this morning, and thought of waste heat from data centers. So! How about I give you a free lease on the land under my driveway, you tap into my power and water infrastructure, you stuff a lil data center under the driveway and it melts my snow in winter?
If you did a bunch you could do distributed data centers all over the frozen north.
Could also…

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

Easy to find, site-map
Dear Proton Team,
I hope this email finds you well. I'm a 63-year-old user trying to understand what's included in my current subscription plan, but I've found the account dashboard quite difficult to navigate.
After spending several minutes clicking through various links, I eventually found a "compare plans" option, but it only directed me to a list of apps at https://account.proton.me/apps.
I was particularly looking for information about the Documents feature in Proton Drive — I don't see it listed in the apps, and I'm wondering if it has been discontinued or removed from my plan. If it's not…

Enable 'change layout' for photos - toggle list view vs thumbnail
Minor tweak may improve usability. Enable change layout function for Photos tab in web UI.
Functionality already exists for files tab in same UI.
This may enable faster processing of large volumes of backup files, e.g. album creation due to removal of the need to load thumbnails.

Native support for Sailfish OS
There's already an idea for ProtonMail and ProtonDrive dating back to 2016, but it would be desirable to implement this for all apps. This would make a Google-free operating system increasingly realistic, as you wouldn't need all the Google services. Not even microG.
Especially since Jolla (https://jolla.com) places a strong emphasis on data protection and privacy with its OS (https://sailfishos.org). This aligns very well with Proton's philosophy, particularly in light of the upcoming release of the new Jolla Phone.
I, and hopefully other users as well, would welcome direct, native support. I don't know how deeply…
