1. Commit to remaining free of any and all AI tools

   Proton, so far, has been a bastion of "the Internet we actually wanted". This is why it was so disheartening to see that the company is now seriously considering integrating GenAI into its suite of tools.

   As the tide of big tech moves toward forcing AI tools into the face of every user, the existence of a platform that is explicitly not doing this is a breath of fresh air. There is no reason to "innovate for the sake of innovation". Let your competitors waste their time and energy being late to the party with the 80th, 90th, and 100th AI tools to come to market.

   Beyond the user experience, there is a plethora of moral reasons to avoid this AI plague:

   • The mass exploitation of human labour used to tag inputs for these models
   • The environmental effects of generating power used to train them
   • The obscene amount of fresh drinking water diverted toward cooling
   • The degradation of information quality, as the human knowledge encoded in language is substituted with statistical approximations

   Please, reconsider this. It's been refreshing to use a platform that wasn't mindlessly chasing big tech trends, and to lose that now would give me an extremely disappointing reason to go searching once again for alternatives.

3. Focus on existing products

   I think Proton is already spreading itself too thin with all these different products, yet there are lots of things to improve on the existing ones.

   I appreciate your suggestion. Uservoice is for raising feature requests; please focus on improvements or new functionality for Proton products. You can also raise ideas for whole new products in General Ideas.

6. Focus on functionality and feature parity on existing products

   Proton should really focus on building with feature parity in mind. Most of their products work differently depending on the OS and that's not a good experience. Plenty of people use different OS (for example both Windows and Mac computers, the wife with Android, the husband with iPhone and the tech kid on Linux.

   STOP overmoderating, STOP spreading thin your resources and FOCUS.

   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.

7. Perspective on Proton's Product Development

   I observe that a predominant number of individuals are expressing similar desires, primarily focused on new additions to the Proton product line. These range from requests for a Proton-managed and optimized SearXNG instance, functioning as a search engine, to surprising appeals for a new operating system.

   While some of these ideas possess merit, they seem somewhat disconnected from the actual needs of both individuals and businesses. As a Visionary account holder, I utilize Proton to address the requirements of both my family and my company. In both contexts, there are more critical features missing in Proton's offerings than the introduction of an entirely new operating system. Our objective shouldn't be to reinvent the wheel. However, most individuals, despite having the necessary skills, lack the time to manage:

   Their own mail server (e.g., Roundcube);
   A combined contact, cloud drive, and co-editing platform (such as NextCloud);
   An e-meeting platform (like Jitsi);
   A personal password manager (KeePass);
   A private messaging protocol (Matrix).
   

   Users like us prefer to focus our energies on our areas of expertise without compromising privacy.

   Proton is the company closest to realizing this vision, yet there remains a significant gap. This proximity is not necessarily due to being the best in its field (which might be the case, but that is not my primary concern) but because the team has earned our trust.

   I am generally reluctant to write or request features, as there are professionals employed by our contributions who are tasked with exactly this. Moreover, as this forum indicates, customers often do not precisely know what they need.

   From my dual perspective as a family man and a business owner, I have recently transitioned our company's suite from Google to NextCloud, while managing family email and calendars with Proton. However, these systems do not integrate seamlessly. I would prefer to consolidate everything under Proton, but this is currently infeasible due to the absence of:

   Integrated meeting and calendar solutions (akin to Jitsi and NextCloud Calendar);
   Contact backup capabilities;
   Co-editing features (attempts to collaborate on files saved in Proton Drive via LibreOffice have proven challenging).
   

   These are my primary requirements.

   Given that my company fully embraces and supports Open Source software, I would also appreciate greater attention to Linux distributions.

   I recognize that Linux holds a minimal market share and do not expect Proton's developers to focus exclusively on porting applications to Debian, Android, or HarmonyNext (the latter of which my company is keenly exploring).

   In conclusion, I encourage the Proton Team to continue their excellent work. There is always room for improvement, as is the case with any endeavor.

   Please raise issues on Uservoice as individual requests rather than bundling them together. Also please check ahead of doing this that they haven't already been raised. Thanks.

9. Request for better UserVoice standards for posters and moderators

   NOTE: I want to make it clear that I will give credit where credit is due, for example seeing examples of truly excellent engagement, such as the detailed explanation for the 'Metadata encryption' idea, which was transparent and thoughtful. I also had a fantastic experience with Proton Docs (Drive) customer service, who the agent (who I will not name for PRIVACY) did a great job of assisting me. This shows Proton can communicate effectively.

   TL;DR: Proton's UserVoice platform faces significant management challenges. My detailed post critiquing it was [DECLINED ❌] with the ironic "Please use UserVoice for feature requests" response, mirroring a pattern of high-voted ideas being [DECLINED ❌] with generic replies, often after years of waiting. This limited engagement with feedback, coupled with unmoderated spam and neglected [🟠 PLANNED] features, is impacting user trust and appears inconsistent with Proton's stated commitment to its community.

   ⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: July 17, 2025
   The issues outlined below have not only persisted but have escalated dramatically, revealing a pattern of moderation that limits engagement with user feedback and appears inconsistent with UserVoice's stated purpose.

   This very post, intended to highlight UserVoice neglect, was [❌ DECLINED] by a Proton Admin with the response: "Please use Uservoice to raise feature requests." This ironic and dismissive reply perfectly encapsulates the core problem: a challenge in engaging with feedback about the platform itself.

   A relentless wave of [❌ DECLINED] ideas today:
   Multiple highly-voted ideas have been declined with generic, unhelpful, or circular responses. Examples include:

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Need More Products For Ecosystem” (53 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48735578-need-more-products-for-ecosystem)
   Response: "Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific functionality changes or additions."

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Focus on existing products" (146 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48603929-focus-on-existing-products)
   Response: "Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific functionality changes or additions." (again)

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Proton, buy Threema" (264 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48246425-proton-buy-threema)
   Response: "Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific functionality changes or additions." (again)
   Note: No, I don't expect aquisations every single day. However, at least some acknowledgement as to why would be helpful.

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Proton Mail on iOS Apple Mail app" (80 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/32785735-proton-mail-on-ios-apple-mail-app)
   DECLINED after 7 years of waiting, with no reason why.

   ❌ [DECLINED] "USERVOICE NEGLETION" (3 votes)
   (MY OWN POST, that speaks up) (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/935538-accounts-payments/suggestions/50199909-uservoice-negletion)
   DECLINED after 3 hours.

   Decline vs Accept:
   While comprehensive, constructive feedback (like this post) is declined, a highly critical post titled "Stop being a greedy subscription-pushing enterprise" (99 votes - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/935538-accounts-payments/suggestions/49048040-stop-being-a-greedy-subscription-pushing-enterpris) remains [OPEN 🟢] on the front page. I do not know this comes about. This suggests a varied approach to moderation that appears to limit engagement with direct critiques of platform management while allowing other feedback.

   Continued Neglect of [🟠PLANNED] items:
   The "iPad iOS Version" idea (138 votes - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/11555208-ipad-ios-version-rather-than-stretched-iphone-vers), marked [🟠PLANNED] in 2016, remains unfulfilled and un-updated after 9 years.
   (By the way, an iPad version is still strangely non-existent, the new Proton Mail iOS app might fix this, but so far there's been no updates.)

   Technical Issues:
   The platform itself displays technical errors (e.g., CORS policy blocking images from S3), adding to the sense of disrepair. (Hint, for devtools, press F12 or ⌥+⌘+I)

   This pattern of behavior suggests a need for improved management of community voice, to ensure UserVoice functions as a tool for engagement rather than perceived silencing.
   I urge for change.

10. Proton sheets - backspace or change of a cell should not lose formatting + formula weirdness

    I have a column of dates. If I change one, the formatting of the cell reverts to black text even though I changed it to white.

    I also have a row of cells that are dark with white text. if I hit backspace on the cell (ie getting rid of the text) the cell loses its background colour.

    I've tried recreating one of my google sheets in proton sheets, but I haven't managed to get very far. Having to continually reformat things is tedious. I knew that functionality would be basic initially, but this is a simple duration counter (for tracking birthdays/ages).

    also...
    The formula don't work the same?

    have a few cells set up as follows:
    =DATEDIF(A4,T2,"Y")
    =DATEDIF(A4,T2,"YM")
    =DATEDIF(A4,T2,"MD")

    (where A4 is the "start" date and T2 is today's date.)
    this spits out the years/months/days between those two dates.

    But when I refer to those like so:
    =D4&" is "&Q4&" years, "&R4&" months, "&S4&" days old."
    (D4 being the name of the person)

    it SHOULD say
    Name is x years, x months, and x days old

    what it does instead is:
    Name is 35 years, 11 months, 17.10994212962963 days old.

    Yet the day cell had no decimal points, it was simply 17. Google sheets treats this as an integer, too.

    EDIT:

    I noticed this is because I used
    =NOW()
    like I did in google, but here I should have used
    =TODAY()

    changing that fixed the creation of a crazy long fraction. I sort of understand the logic to this, but I feel like being able to port across from google sheets logic would be beneficial.

    EDIT 2: also, if someone specifically set up a cell with, say, two decimal points visually showing despite actually being a much longer number, and then wanted to refer to that cell as part of a string like I have--- that would simply override that preference.

    I have a column of dates. If I change one, the formatting of the cell reverts to black text even though I changed it to white.

    I also have a row of cells that are dark with white text. if I hit backspace on the cell (ie getting rid of the text) the cell loses its background colour.

11. Proton Sheets - Undo via keyboard shortcut inconsistent

    On Mac within safari, using cmd+Z to undo within Proton Sheets sometimes undoes the last action in sheets as it should, or it randomly switches to undoing within safari (reopening a closed tab).

    unclear to me when it choses to do which, but it's very disorienting.

12. excel

    Awesome to see sheets coming to Proton. Some things I noticed that were missing for me when using Google Sheets:

    1. When using the '$' symbol, I'm noticing the cells still move if dragging or copying. Generally this symbol indicates that the cells should be static.

    2. When using the "sum" feature and I add a row in the middle, the "sum" should update to include the new total number of rows.

    3. The ability to "hide" a sheet that I don't want to see all the time.

    4. Suggestion: for the "accounting" formatting, can we move the currency symbol to always be left aligned and the numbers to be right aligned? Google sheets does this with their formatting and I really prefer it when viewing money.

13. It's time for change. Is Proton listening?

    Quick look.

    As a long-time Proton user, I'm concerned by systemic "UserNeglect" and transparency issues. UserVoice ideas, like staying AI-free (425 votes), were [DECLINED ❌] just before Proton launched its Lumo AI tool. A Proton Admin on Reddit even contradicted Lumo's logging claims, and the official website still hasn't been corrected, showing a severe lack of follow-through. More issues like spam on the forums, unclosed completed ideas, and responses that never come make this an unignorable issue.

    My detailed UserVoice post on these issues gets minimal attention, and my Reddit post is stuck awaiting mod approval – ironically highlighting the very gatekeeping I'm exposing. I'm a loyal user, not a hater, and this needs discussion.

    Uservoice is for features and functionality of products. Please use it for this.

14. What could be improved in Proton so that more people would buy subscriptions?

    1. Proton pay - I use GrapheneOS, and I'm missing software that can replace Gpay, that I can trust with my data, and that I want to use with NFC.

    2. Proton notes - Right now, I'm using Notesnook. Obsidian seems too cluttered for me, while Notesnook looks minimalistic. I use to-do lists and tables, because it's convenient for me to have everything in one app, but maybe in the future I'll start making tables in Proton Sheets.

    3. Proton to-do-list -In Notesnook, I have tables, notes, to-do lists, all of which are missing from the Proton app. At least the to-do list and notes are there, and you can switch to tables in Proton Sheets, but I haven't seen the need for that yet.

    4. Proton forms

    5. Proton RSS Reader - I use the minimalist BazQux Reader, but I would like a confidential one from Proton.

    6. More support for Linux, because there are more people in Linux who care about security and privacy.

    I believe that these innovations will make Proton much more popular and many people may switch to Proton, while others will purchase more expensive subscriptions.

15. Improve Uservoice, please...

    This is asking for a dark mode, better UI that of proton mail in quality, a warning that twitter(x) is a VERY bad website for privacy, and fixing the system for icons, the site that proton uses for icons is according to my source of "Blacklight" by Themarckup contains multiple trackers including evading trackers, it also lets google track you. So I propose that we flock over to a different way of getting icons or at least a disclaimer to use Tor before acquiring an icon.

As Proton is build on the concept of protecting individual rights to privacy and security, and as recent and current regulation-reforms are actively are undermining these pillars of the Proton platform, which of course are also pillars of a healthy democratic society, I believe that all this is a core fight for Proton and its users.

    I whish for better information on how individual actions can moat effectively influence the democratic machinery. A lot of people are only involved in democratic process when it is time to vote. I have slowly learned that we have much more power than that when we just realize it and coordinate our efforts.

    I believe that we need better education tools to help people realize how this kind of individual democratic power actually works, and how to use it. We also need better tools to assist in coordinating our energy for the most important fights. Actually, a platform like this one, where users can choose a topic and submit proposals for what would be important, and then vote on the most important submissions, would be great.
    The impact of this effort could then be amplified by combing it with collaborative and community inclusive projects, moderated and lead by experts in the field, to gather information, and create more easily consumed knowledge with regards to these most influential proposals, informing on what a proposal with regards to background, stakeholders, impact on society on on different levels, while focusing on democratic health and individual rights. The idea of having readily available and easily consumable high quality materials available for the mechanics behind the process of decitionmaking feels like a high value proposal to me. Especially if it is based on open-information and open moderation with an open review kind of approach, where individual review or ratings are made by researchers and other equally competent people.

    Making a EU wide union with EDRi and others, who has the same agenda, would be great.

    My proposal is basically to support or create a better infrastructure for community involvement in politics, mixed with a community driven but expert moderated platform for education and for aggregating the best value per effort strategies for action.

    I would start on the topic of privacy and security as is relevant for Proton platform with acute attempts in EU to undermine the platforms foundation, which would have consequences for its global userbase.

    The big example right now, is the EU proposal ”retention of data by service providers for criminal proceedings”, for which, I believe, the deadline is on the 12th of September 2025.

    Exsisting ideas to support with regards to this example:

    https://edri.org/our-work/public-consultation-on-retention-of-data-by-service-providers-for-criminal-proceedings-answering-guide-for-civil-society-organisations-and-individuals/

    Tools for identifying relevant politicians with the power to influence the current proposal, such as the following:

    I believe that we need more knowledge and information on how to effectively fight against anti-privacy and security regulation as citizens. EDRi does a good job, but their reach seems limited. As Proton is build on the concept of protecting individual rights to privacy and security, and as recent and current regulation-reforms are actively are undermining these pillars of the Proton platform, which of course are also pillars of a healthy democratic society, I believe that all this is a core fight for Proton and its users.

19. Proton UserVoice 404 upon idea submission

    Proton UserVoice initially rendered a 404 error page, instead of my idea, upon selecting the Post idea button.

    Using ProtonVPN, in case that matters.

    Thanks, we will investigate this when talking to UserVoice, but the best place to direct your query would be to them, as we do not own UserVoice.

20. 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.

    Your Proton Mail address won't ever be revealed to Gmail to protect your privacy.
