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.

Make a announcement specifiying the ethics of how Proton will approach AI
It's hard to tell the extent to which AI will play a role in the future technological landscape, so it's important that Proton establishes and makes clear their ethics for designing AI products.
https://www.ted.com/talks/yoshua_bengio_the_catastrophic_risks_of_ai_and_a_safer_path
He said he is currently working on a "Scientist AI" that would try to understand the world, not change it. This would allow people access to unbiased predictions that would work for the interests of humans, not for AI's interests and its self-preservation.I believe this TED talk may help Proton with developing their stance; maybe Proton could have a "scientist AI" approach as mentioned in…

Google Suite
Honestly, just copy everything Google does with their contacts, calendar, notes, tasks, etc. It's super frustrating that their suite of applications is as excellent as it is for such an evil company.
I'm finding it very difficult to make the move over to Proton because of missing features.

Proton Speed Test
Like the speed test from https://www.speedtest.net/ but secure and made by proton.
I don't really trust any of these speed tests online to not sell my data. But I could trust Proton.

Proton Apps exclusively only via Tor
A function would have to be developed in the Proton apps that allows you to connect to the apps only via the Tor network, log in and retrieve the respective data.
In other words, the apps would exclusively address the TOR hidden service and never communicate with the clearnet.
This would represent an enhanced security measure. It should be an opt-in measure.
The advantages of this feature are described under the following link:

Select all messages in search results
Add an option to select all search results, in the same manner that you can select all messages in inbox or other folders when you click on the "select all" checkbox:
"You selected 50 messages. Select all in Sent."
One thing this will allow users to do is search for sent message older than a certain date and delete them all. As it stands, we have to go through and delete them 50 messages at a time.

Quantumcomputer Encryption [SECURITY THREAT]
"SAVE NOW, DECRYPT LATER" is a big threat to all of our data and it's affecting us already.
Considering Proton is at the frontier of online security and the relatively new announcements of NISTs Quantum Encryption methods, I would suggest you look into applicability of those methods to your services.
I hope this makes it up the ladder, because this SECURITY BREACH AFFECTS EVERY PROTON USER AND EVERY SINGLE INFORMATION: Starting with all email traffic, to drive documents, calendar and even all browser history through ProtonVPN. To go even further, proton users and VPN exit nodes could be specially monitored,…

Add a Proton Domains (Registrar): Buy domains directly inside Proton
Proton should introduce its own domain registration service integrated directly into the Proton ecosystem.
Currently, users who want to use a custom domain with Proton Mail must purchase a domain from a third-party registrar and manually configure DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC). While this works, it adds friction. Especially for non-technical users.
An integrated domain registrar would significantly simplify onboarding by allowing users to purchase a domain and have it automatically configured for Proton Mail. This would reduce setup errors, improve security, and make the experience much more accessible.
Additionally, it would make it much easier to use custom…

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…

To-do list
Create a to-do list app similar to todoist. With reminders and linked to our Proton agenda. That'd be really a killer app. You want to protect privacy. Can you imagine the private data companies get out of personal todolists? They know so many things we do!

Docs
Reasonably proton docs is still missing a lot of features. Some improvements I've noticed it needs while using it are a page printer view, spacing variability, format memory (when starting a new line font and text size revert to default), precision font variability, better spacing with indented checkboxes, and an easy and elegant UI for viewing already created docs

[Meet] Create Ability to Record Meeting and Save to Proton Drive
Would love to get more people using Proton Meet with me since it's end to end encrypted versus zoom. However, many people won't make the jump since they require the ability to record and save a meeting i.e. for absent attendees.

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…

Proton Drive Photo Management
If there was also a way I could import photos from files uploaded to the photo section of drive from already existing directories within proton drive, that would also be very helpful. You guys are doing great!

Offline email access
Proton email is great but without offline access to all my emails, I find it too restrictive. Is there any timeline to develop capacity to work offline and sync once connected?

An app to merge other messaging apps (messenger, telegram etc.) and limit their access to our data
Proton messaging app solves only a part of a problem, as we still have to use messenger, telegram, WhatsApp etc, so having an app that would merge them all in one place and most importantly, provide the security against them accessing our data, so that we don't have to install them on our devices on their terms. A secure intermediate app that nests them all in one place.
