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…

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.
15 votesThanks 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.

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.

I would like to advise Proton to think long and hard about the setup of this forum
As a European Proton customer I would like to advice Proton to think long and hard about the setup of this forum.
I just had sign away the storing of my name, ip adress and other things just to provide feedback to Proton.
And I had to gain access to the forum through Facebook or Google.
Really, in this day and age?!?
1 voteThanks a lot for raising an idea on Uservoice. This is a platform for feature requests and functionality changes to Proton's products.

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.

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…

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…

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"!2 votesThis is not a feature request.
You can vote for both of these elsewhere on this forum.

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…
1 voteSorry that you were scammed, but there isn't enough in this feature suggestion to actually be able to develop anything.

Awesome to see sheets coming to Proton. Some things I noticed that were missing for me when using Google Sheets:
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.
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.
The ability to "hide" a sheet that I don't want to see all the time.
Suggestion: for the "accounting" formatting, can we move the currency symbol to always be left…

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.1 voteCool idea. Uservoice is for features and functionality, not events, but we'll keep it in mind.

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.

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.

Keep doing you. Theres like no companies that consistently just kickass. Yall do. good on you. really
Its rare you come across a company that isnt just ******** and hassle. Yalls products are quality, direct, effective and accessible. Its easy to use and reliable. Theres not all the excessive cash grabbing and semantic judo/trap door language...When i googled this the major companies all had ad space above proton. Made me laugh. Because yall are the goat. fr

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

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.
3 votesPlease raise individual requests on Uservoice.
It is not useful for voting to have a mass of things bundled together.
When it comes to things like "better UI" please be specific, what could be better? What would it look like?

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.

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.
1 voteThanks for raising an idea on Uservoice.
This platform is for requests for new functionality or changes to existing functionality.
If you have requests to do with Proton's products then please don't hesitate to raise them; requests about the ways in which Proton's products are marketed are not for Uservoice.
