  1. Renewable green energy

    Are you planning on using renewable energy for your operations soon? I was looking for information about this but I couldn't find any statement from the company on this topic. I want to support a mail server that is compromised with this issue, as it should be basic nowadays.

  2. Collaborative, integrated, encrypted and open source office suite

    Use an already existing open source frame (like Cryptpad, OnlyOffice or Collabora Office/LibreOffice Online) to create an integrated and collaborative encrypted office suite.

    Make it Open source from the very beginning and allow for the community to actively help the development and improvement of the project. Allow and encourage upstream contribution to the office projects.

    (There are already three other ideas about an office suite (1. Cryptpad, 2. Onlyoffice and 3. LibreOffice. Merge the ideas into this one ?)

  3. Delete additional Proton addresses

    I was trying to add an address with a custom domain but accidentally used proton.me instead of my domain name. I cannot remove the address I accidentally added, and it counts towards my limit of 10 addresses. Not cool, Proton.

  4. Inactive account policy - keep account when deleting data

    Hello proton team

    I have a new suggestion regarding the inactive account policy. Instead of permanently deleting a user's account if they haven't logged in for a year, I propose an alternative approach.

    The idea is to delete their data while keeping the account itself, which would minimize costs for Proton. In the event that the user logs in again at a later time, they would login to an empty account (like if they just created it), but at least they won't lose their email address.

    A lot of users keep a protonmail account as a recovery email for other…

  5. GNOME Online Accounts

    GNOME is the most popular desktop on Linux, being used by the most popular distributions, including Ubuntu. One of my favorite features that it has is GNOME Online Accounts (GOA), a background service that allows you to seamlessly access your data from several providers using the system apps like Calendar and Files.

    Google, Microsoft, and NextCloud are fully supported. It would be amazing to have this same level of support for Proton. I'd love to be able to seamlessly use Proton Mail in Geary without having to setup the bridge, upload files to Proton Drive using GNOME Files and create…

  7. Android adaptive / material / themed icons

    Please make icon's theme-able. More and more 3rd party apps already support it, Proton sticks out like a sore thumb.

  8. Proton Desktop Operating System (OS)

    I know it is too much,but it would be great,to see ProtonOS, similar to tails, with implemented VPN/Proxy,Proton browser, mail, access to onion, etc. Not only for geeks, but for simple people too, like accountant, secretary, writer.. you get the idea.
    I believe it will have a great success, as already now people already dream about it.

  9. English (British/Austalian/American) as a language option

    Currently there is one 'English' as a language option, this is in reality American or American English. Some of the differences are not at al subtle. Virtually all other services have the two separated, as American is a fairly isolated language whereas English (or British English) covers the UK, Australia, New Zealand, large numbers in India and a majority in Europe (though American is also popular in Europe now).

    It seems like minimal effort would be required to create a proper English as an additional language but would remove so much confusion with English speakers that don't understand many of…

  10. Proton DNS as a Secure, Private alternative to 8.8.8.8 or ISP / CDS

    Dear Proton Team,

    I recently got deep into DNS and found out that most DNS Servers out there are not very private.

    Therefore I'm proposing, could be an addition to Proton VPN, a Proton DNS Server.

    Examples of competitors would be 8.8.8.8 (Google), 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), or 94.140.14.14 (Ad-Guard DNS, the only somewhat private I could find).

    This could also be the opportunity to build a CDS Network as a competitor to Cloudflare.

    I'm sure this isn't an small project but this could develop into a trustworthy, private alternative in Europe against Google and Cloudflare.

    Stay Safe!

  11. Personal Data Removal

    A new service focused around removing personal data from sites like TruePeopleSearch and Whitepages. Since the whole idea of Proton is focused around privacy, I believe it would make a great addition to the current services provided by Proton. It would make it a perfect tool for new users who getting into privacy control and for current users who are serious about their privacy. Let me know what you guys think!

  13. Auto-lock for all apps and platforms

    I would appreciate it if all Proton apps had the auto-lock feature on all platforms.

    And please include following options for the timeout:

    • Custom timeout value
    • Lock on system lock
    • Lock when browser closed

    So it would be great if we could set the Auto-lock timeout in all Proton applications on all platforms to a custom value.

    Also the option to lock the app only whenever I lock the device or close the browser would be a great feature.

  14. All in one desktop app

    I wish instead of having 5 different services all on different platforms, all being separate entities, I wish all of the Proton Services were on one menu and one program I can download. Having to open 3 tabs for Mail, Calendar, Drive, then open an Extension or another Tab for Pass, and then a separate program for the VPN is EXTREMELY F**CKING FRUSTRATING! It's so hard to navigate.

    If all of this was on one program you can download to manage all of this - Life would be miles better.

  15. Crowdfund Linux parity

    Run a crowdfunding campaign to put complete Linux parity on the Proton roadmap. This will allow customers and potential customers to demonstrate support more tangibly than with suggestions and votes.

    It is clear from broad and specific suggestions here on UserVoice that there is customer demand for improved Linux support. I can only assume that you are lacking concrete evidence for the SIZE of the demand. This is the intended purpose of crowdfunding campaigns.

    This is a specific, actionable suggestion to provide a solid business case for Linux support. It would also provide potential customers with confidence that Linux support…

  16. Don't use Proton username when sending calendar invites

    I use custom domains, partly to avoid giving any personal information to services that don't need it, and partly as an added layer of security for my Proton account. I've never (intentionally) shared my Proton username with anyone. I noticed when sending a calendar invite that it included my Proton username. Can we either get a separate field for invites, or can this be updated to use the existing user-specified display name field?

  18. Add the ability to upload a profile picture

    Add the ability to upload a profile picture to replace boring letters between ProtonMail users and other e-mail providers if safe to do so.

  20. Proton drive should remove "my computer" feature on PC and have a single default sync folder like MEGA.

    When I use mega, I can upload my document on my mobile phone and it immediately gets downloaded on my PC mega folder. Vise versa.

    Proton drive should do the same.

    The "My computer" folder sync feature on PC is completely useless. Your ios app don't even have the "my computer" folder. It means I cannot access information on my mobile when I upload documents on my PC. You should make a default cloud drive folder like MEGA. Let users drag their documents to that folder, auto sync, and it should be available on all platforms. More user friendly.

    Thank…
