   Please raise single discrete ideas, it is very hard to act upon and close an idea which asks for so many things at once.

2. Please Don't try to be Google

   This new push of Proton Docs and Sheets and the overall concept of having to login to a website to use software as a service has me all skittish about vendor lock-in. I don't want SAAS, don't want proprietary file formats and don't want web/browser based anything. I want to get my head out of the cloud. Instead using locally installed software, maybe from you all, maybe of my own choosing and a secure cloud as a transport, sync and secondary/remote storage tool. Besides retrieving emails or products that directly relate to internet usage, e.g. Authenticator, I want to be fully functional without internet and then not have to do anything when internet is restored and sync resumes. Basically to setup programs on my computer then configure them with my credentials and never have to log in to Proton's website unless I need to do something account management related. Anyhow, that's my two cents

3. Cover the basics first: contacts, tasks

   You people lost the plot. Cover the basics before venture out for the high hanging fruits. Contacts, Tasks, a dedicated photos app. User before organisations!
   There are private docs and sheets. It's called "offline and synced to drive"!

4. Proton Drive absolutely hosed

   Proton Drive on macOS is completely broken. It fails to present file path entries in Finder for files I've long since uploaded to my Proton Drive account from other devices.

   As a workaround, I have to move a recent file from Proton Drive to my Mac, pause syncing, resume syncing, and wait for the next file entry to appear. I have to do this for every single missing entry, which is quite laborious. Computers exist to automate, not cause even more problems.

7. Proposal: "Proton Shield" – A "Safety-First" Tier for Non-Technical Users

   Description: I was recently scammed — and I'm someone who takes security seriously.

   For years I've helped local people recover from hacks and scams. I've seen victims lose their savings, their pensions, and worst of all, their self-confidence. They clicked a link, gave out some information — things we all do every day with legitimate organisations. They couldn't tell the difference, and honestly, neither can most people anymore.

   Right now, users face an impossible choice: use Big Tech services that offer convenience but almost no protection, or switch to tools like Proton that are powerful but too complex for non-technical people. Millions fall through this gap — unprotected, confused, and increasingly afraid.

   What's needed is software where safety is baked in and the complexity is invisible. Automatic aliases for every contact. Real-time scam detection. A simplified interface where sending an email is just... pressing "Send." No setup, no configuration, no expertise required.

   I'm proposing "Proton Shield" — a new tier that prioritises active safety over pure privacy, with full transparency about that trade-off. Proton is the only company trusted enough to make this credible.

   This proposal was co-developed with Lumo. The full version includes market analysis, technical feasibility, and competitive positioning. The reason for suggesting this is "The Everyday User Test: Would this work for anyone — whether they're 25 or 75, tech-savvy or not? If not, it's not safe enough." People across all age groups are victims of internet crime but, older people are losing out the most financially.

8. Privacy Party for 20,000 servers and/or 150 countries.

   I'm not sure if anything like this has been done before, but as a very early supporter of Proton, I would like to see some celebration for the upcoming milestone(s) of Proton VPN being available on 20,000 servers and/or across 150 countries.
   This could be in the form of a convention, or public Proton Meet events, or even just a newsletter with pics of the staff celebrating their achievements over the past few years.

9. [BUG] Proton Docs web - cant scroll up

   I discovered a minor bug in the web based Proton Docs when viewing or editing a document.

   I am using an E-reader (specifically [Boox Go color 7]) the device has scroll/page turn buttons used to scroll up & down. The buttons can be configured to [page] or [scroll]. I am using the [scroll] method.
   I can scroll down normally, but scroll up doesnt work.

   Proton Docs is displayed using Android Firefox on the device, so it is Firefox that is scrolling up & down. There is no issue with this normally on any webpage, but on Proton Docs for some reason I cant scroll up - so I conclude there is some element on the web page which is stopping that action.

   I can scroll up & down using finger swipe gesture on the screen & that works OK.
   All editing functions seem to work fine.

   I realise this is probably an uncommon use case, but Docs on an Ereader is very appropriate.

   I also tested this on the Proton Drive android APP. & the pageUP/PageDOWN buttons work as expected.
   The app is a bit washed out looking & text looks small on the ereader. But otherwise it functions fine.

10. Proposal: Two Self-Hosted Media Side Projects for the Proton Ecosystem

    Hey everyone,
    I’d like to propose two side projects that Proton could develop. Both concepts are self-hosted media streaming services that would add massive value to the Proton ecosystem without requiring Proton to build or maintain new data centers.

    1. ProtonTV: Self-Hosted Video Streaming
       ProtonTV would be a media server and client app allowing users to stream their personal video libraries (e.g., ripped DVDs, Blu-rays, or other downloaded media).
       How it works:

       • Self-Hosted: Install it on a NAS or Home Server.
       • Proton Drive Integration: Alternatively, download the app on any device, log into your Proton account, and link a Proton Drive folder containing your media. To save server costs, the client device’s resources would handle processing tasks like decoding and series identification.
       • Metadata: The app would use TMDB as the default scraper, with options to add third-party database extensions. Subscription Tiers:
       • Free Tier: Host it on your Home Server (limited to local network access by default, as most users watch series and movies at home). However, users still have the option to set up remote access manually via port forwarding or tools like Tailscale.
       • Plus Tier (e.g., Mail Plus, Drive Plus, VPN Plus): Unlocks official, seamless remote access to your Home Server through your Proton account, OR unlocks the Proton Drive linking method.
       • Bundled Tier (e.g., Proton Unlimited, Duo, Family, Visionary): Unlocks remote access + Advanced Media Features. The app scans your .mkv (and other) files for embedded dubs and subs, lets you set default language profiles, and automatically fetches missing dubs and subtitles from the internet.

    2. Protonfy: Self-Hosted Audio Streaming
       Protonfy would be the audio equivalent—a self-hosted music streaming service for your personal song library.
       How it works:

       • Self-Hosted: Like ProtonTV, it can be installed on a NAS or Home Server for local file management.
       • Proton Drive Integration: Users can also choose to stream their library directly via a linked Proton Drive folder. Subscription Tiers:
       • Free Tier: Self-host the service on your Home Server or NAS with remote access included out-of-the-box (since music is primarily enjoyed on the go, making local-only access impractical).
       • Plus Tier: Unlocks the ability to stream your library directly from Proton Drive.
       • Bundled Tier: Adds an automated feature that downloads lyrics for your library from free online databases.

    Future Vision: The "Plex Hybrid" Model

    If Proton ever decides to enter the licensed media space, both apps could evolve into a hybrid model similar to Plex. Users could choose to prioritize their local, self-hosted files or seamlessly integrate Proton's licensed content.
    For now, keeping these projects strictly self-hosted allows Proton to build them as low-maintenance side projects in their free time, keeping the main focus on their core privacy apps.

11. Geburtstag im Format dd. MMM eingeben (ohne Jahr)

    In Kontakte (Proton Mail) sollte es möglich sein, den Geburtstag einer Person ohne das Geburtsjahr einzutragen. Dies ist aktuell nicht möglich. Ich kann den Geburtstag nur als dd. MMM yyyy eingeben. Dies ist ein Problem, da ich so das Geburtsdatum nicht eintragen kann, wenn ich das Geburtsjahr nicht kenne und kein fiktives Geburtsjahr "erfinden" will.

12. Fowarding Mails from Gmail contradicts the reason why I switched to Proton.

    I want to do everything I can to get more free storage space. However, the forwarding from Gmail to Proton means that the systems from Google know my new email addresses. I prefer to manually switch my accounts to the new email addresses.

13. Help us get ready for youtube vpn blocks

    I just had my first experience on youtube (app, have not graduated to using it on Brave browser) where it showed me results for my search (biatholon athlete's name who competes internationally) and refused to allow me to use it unless I turned off vpn. I did a little searching and saw it's been an issue for 5 months or so, possibly related to the UK ID checking nonsense. While I'm seriously thinking about deleting youtube too many institutions require using it to view content that they require. I switched to another server and cleared the cash on the proton vpn and youtube. I can watch videos it shows me, I'm just anticipating a day when it will block all use with a vpn. I suggest in-depth blog post(s) on bypassing this with vpn settings, other ways, and getting youtube type content elsewhere (not another ****** platform that grabs as much data as it can and designs itself to be addictive).

14. No US social media platforms for news, discussions, etc.

    I would appreciate it if feature releases, the latest news on privacy and tips on online security were not announced and discussed on US platforms such as X and Reddit. These are private-sector platforms, and the US administration is using its economic and military power to prevent regulations on American social media platforms that would protect EU European users.

16. Data validation in Proton Sheets

    Hello Proton Team,

    So the current behaviour of the validation is that when we press a "Delete" on a validation Cell, the validation Cell with "Dropdown (from a range)" will entirely disappear, which is quite wrong in my opinion. I (and I believe the most people) would be expected that deletion won't remove the validation that applied on that Cell.

    Not just this, I hope this validation system can have an option that allows user to decide rejecting the value or not, with the rule we set up. Unlike the current status that always allow other values that is not following the validation rule.

    Sincerely,
    sia

    And I had to gain access to the forum through Facebook or Google.

20. Prioritization

    Hi Proton Team!

    I really like all the new products and ideas that are implemented. I appreciate how this is mostly due to people in this forum actively requesting stuff and you listening! Bravo.

    BUT! Could you please mainly focus on the boring task of improving your existing products before rolling out new stuff? There are so many important features being discussed here that are just sitting and waiting since 2023...For example:

    • Mac Folder Sync
    • Separated Mailboxes
    • Improved Docs

    I understand the excitement of launching new products, but a solid foundation matters more than a wide product range. Quality over quantity, please!

    Thanks for listening.

    Thanks for posting an idea on Uservoice, as per the asks on the front page:

    
    

    Please make requests specific and actionable, generic "improve" or "make x better" posts will be removed.

    
    

    Different teams at Proton work on different products. There are still people working on improving Mail, Drive, Docs etc.
