Add a "Proton Docs" category to the forum
Currently, Proton Docs lacks a dedicated category on this forum. This forces users to post Proton Docs feedback in the "General Ideas" forum, which could potentially slow down the app’s development. Therefore, I formally request that a dedicated category for Proton Docs be added to the forum. Thank you for your attention and your valuable time.

Make Duo/Family true shared plans
The idea is simple – allow for shared email addresses within Duo/Family plans, which anyone in the family group can access. Allow for true shared documents/folders in Drive, that anyone who they are shared with has equal access – at the moment, shared folders cannot be accessed through Finder (macOS), nor made available offline. To attach a file from a shared folder, the sharee must first download it from the web app, which makes a mockery of using cloud storage in the first place.
It seems that Duo/Family is really just a pricing tool, not a shared family group in…

New Login Detected Email Notification
Overview:
This feature would automatically send an email alert to the account owner whenever a new login is detected on their Proton account. The goal is to enhance account security by providing real-time awareness of potentially unauthorized access.📩 How It Works:
- Trigger Event:When someone logs into your Proton account from a new device, browser, or location that hasn't been previously recognized.
- Email Notification Includes:
- Date & Time of Login
- IP Address & Approximate Location
- Device Type & Browser Info
- Login Method (e.g., password, 2FA, recovery)
- Security Recommendations (e.g., “If this wasn’t you, change your password immediately.”)
- Optional…

Report Phishing from Right Click Inbox
I've noticed that when a new phishing email comes into my inbox that doesn't get filtered automatically into spam when I right click before opening the email there is no option to report phishing. It's only when you open the email that the report phishing option appears.
Lately i've been receiving messages that contain what looks like code or some strange kind of encrypted code and an attached .sthml fileI would like to be able to report these emails as phising, eventhough im not sure what they are, directly from the inbox before opening the email. Of course I…

Run Immich server on proton drive, instead of the custom and very rudimentary photos feature we have now
Hi,
the new photos feature is a nice direction, but a far cry from all the competitors.
So why not use an feature rich open source software like Immich, let it run on the Proton Drive storage and don't spend resources reinventing the wheel.
This would be a smart move!
Photos integration in drive is too basic and will take years to rival Google Photos etc, if at all.

Display/show disk/storage space usage details
Various apps likely shows a disk space usage, for example ProtonMail desktop app in the bottom-left corner. Clicking it, I would assume to see the details on where the disk space is used, so i can potentially delete some content.
User should be able to see the list of services and its disk space usage, click the service with high usage to see even more details, being able to realize what to delete/cleanup. For example if it is Mail, show the list of largest folders and its sizes. Clicking folder would open it.

Proton, Startpage-like browser extension and anonymous searching
I would like to see Proton building up on Startpage's idea (https://support.startpage.com/hc/de/articles/4521527855636-Impressum?t=light) and creating Proton infrastructure and browser extension that would allow for anonymous searching/browsing/surfing.

Notes/Descriptions for "My Addresses" aliases
Similar to how SimpleLogin allows you to add notes for each alias (under an alias's "Alias Description") so you can remember which aliases exist for which purpose, it would be helpful to have this feature as an option in the "My Addresses" section for ProtonMail as well. The more e-mail ProtonMail addresses one has, the more useful this would be!

Can a waiting room be included in Proton Meet permanent rooms?
Problem: Currently, Proton Meet has permanent rooms that are great for recurring workflows (e.g., schedule management with EHR systems like Sessions Health). However, they lack a proper gatekeeper function. For users working under HIPAA regulations, a permanent link with only password gating is a liability. If a client joins five minutes early while a previous session is still active, they could accidentally "crash" a private meeting. This creates a significant privacy breach risk.
Proposal: Introduce a Waiting Room / Lobby feature specifically for permanent rooms. The host receives a notification when someone attempts to join. Pending joiners remain in a…

Built in email translation for Proton Mail
Hello Proton Team,
I would like to propose a built-in translation feature directly inside Proton Mail. This would significantly improve usability, especially for international users.
Current problem:
Reading emails in foreign languages requires copying content into external services like DeepL or Google Translate. This interrupts workflow, increases friction, and creates unnecessary dependency on third-party tools.Real-world use cases:
International communication: Users receiving emails in English, Finnish, German, etc. need fast translation to understand content instantly
Newsletters & services: Many newsletters and automated emails are not localized
Business & work: Professionals communicating across countries need quick, reliable translations
Privacy-conscious users: Copying…11 votes -
Black is the new purple - Let's make an OLED/AMOLED/ultra dark/black global theme for Proton apps and widgets
I would love to see Proton develop a #000000 (100% black) theme, alongside the current options, that can be applied to all widgets and apps. It is a well-known fact that true black menus consume less battery and are easier on the eyes. However, for those of us who primarily prefer dark mode for the aesthetic, I would love to see an option to go all the way and make the entire Proton experience pitch black. It’s worth noting that there are already browser extensions available that provide a true black experience on web, so this request is primarily aimed…

Improve Proton Calendar notifications on Linux (sound, persistence, snooze)
On Linux (Ubuntu / GNOME), Proton Calendar notifications are easy to miss: they are transient, quiet, and disappear after a few seconds if you are away from the screen.
There is currently no way to:
• enable audible alerts
• make notifications persistent until dismissed
• snooze calendar remindersThis makes Proton Calendar significantly less usable on Linux compared to mobile platforms and even basic desktop calendar apps.
Please consider improving Linux notifications by supporting one or more of the following:
• notification sounds
• persistent / actionable notifications
• snooze support
• better integration with Linux desktop notification standards…11 votes -
Automatic updates on Linux Debian
Hello, I use the desktop application on a Linux workstation (Linux Mint, Debian distribution) and almost every time I open an application, I am prompted to update it. This is a bit annoying because I have several applications of the same type. In the end, I can't be bothered to update them every time because it's a bit time-consuming... I've searched the internet, but I can't find an apt repository to perform updates automatically at the same time as my PC updates.
Is there currently a way to automatically update the various Proton applications, for example with APT Linux?

docs
Adding headers, footers, and (editable) pagination would be appreciated by those who edit course materials, along with more font options, even if they have to be uploaded to your platforms.
And if this type of feature is complicated to implement online due to hosting providers, why not also create a Proton Docs desktop app?
Sincerely,
