Modernize Standard Notes
In a market with consolidated competitors such as Obsidian, Anytype, AFFiNE, among others, it is essential that Standard Notes offers real-time collaboration features, in addition to the other editing functions of its competitors.
The dated interface is also a problem. When you look at the UI/UX of competitors, you can see how Standard Notes needs a design makeover to modernize it and get it out of that dated software look.

Linux supported equally
Linux is very popular among privacy concerned users, who make up a large chunk of Proton's userbase. However, Proton fails to provide any solid Linux apps and frequently leaves them unmaintained or released years after the initial product launch. Proton should make Linux a first-class platform, with proper support from day one.

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.

Reactivate Proton's Mastodon account!
What a shame deactivating Proton's Mastodon account without any announcement, but only a change on the account's description!

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…

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?

Migrate to quantum resistant algorithms
Quantum computing breaking common cryptography algorithms is a future problem that will affect all data that is stolen/collected now and that contains sensitive information we may NEVER want to share

Proton to stop promoting on Twitter/X
I'm asking Proton as a company to stop promoting giveaways and other promotional events on Twitter/X, as it is a cesspool of alt-right and neo-nazi propaganda and is owned and run by a psychopath. Encouraging people to use that platform is harmful to everyone. Please stop.

Delete only future events of repeating calendar event
At present it is possible to delete either "all events" or "this specific event" in a repeating (e.g. weekly) event. I miss very much the option to delete all "future events" in a repeating event in order to keep the history of past events.

Acquire Obsidian! Would be a game changers for full privacy suite
New Documents feature really opened an opportunity for me to get away from Google and Microsoft and enjoy privacy.
Its a great start but limited. Just throwing out the idea, what if Proton acquired or partnered with Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ another privacy first organization.
This would be a game changer. Please consider.

Improve Proton's Open source development
Proton has two great assets, the privacy respecting side and its Open source orientation.
However, some apps/services still aren't published openly (Calendar app for Android/iOS, amongst others).
So :
1. Make all apps and services open source
2. Activate issues on repositories
3. Invite community to actively participate in the development of the ecosystem
=> Proton apps become more reliable, with faster feature development and availability and it allows for greater transparency and sense of trust from the customers and community.50 votes -
Request for Free IMAP/POP3 Access
I understand that IMAP/POP3 is currently gated behind paid plans. As a committed advocate for privacy, I kindly request that you unlock basic IMAP and POP3 access for all free accounts, even if subject to reasonable limits (e.g., sync frequency, folder count).
This change will:
Enable users with financial constraints to adopt Proton Mail.
Strengthen Proton’s position as the go-to privacy provider by removing a major blocker to migration.
I am eager to beta-test and provide feedback on this functionality or any of the above proposals.
Thank you for considering these suggestions. I remain a loyal Proton user and look…

Make all photos available offline on Mobile
Photos are very slow to load, making it difficult for me to scroll back and find particular events.
Individual photos have the option to "Make available offline", but when I select all the photos I can only Download or Move to trash.
I'd like an option to make all my photos available offline.

General Business Application Integrations
The one trend I KEEP running into is that all the features I expect for a business email to integrate with necessary and critical business services are too inaccessible to be useful.
This includes:
- Calendar apps
- CRMs
- Marketing and Commerce systems
and other tools I'm sure aren't coming to mind at this very moment.If proton is to be equivalent to competitor services there needs to be a system that allows these applications to connect and integrate.
I understand that with the nature of our accounts with Proton its hard to allow 3rd parties to integrate but…

Mass unsharing in Proton Drive
For the folks that share a lot of drives, it can be quite a hassle selecting each individual item in the share tab to stop sharing. It would be cool if we could select all of them and unshare with one click.

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

Increased view density option
Coming from Gmail, I am used to having three options for display density- Default, Comfortable and Compact. In Proton, the compact option still leaves too much space both in the LH folder/tag pane, and in the email listing. I suggest adding another density option. Since Compact is already used, the choice of Default may need to be added and then increase the density on the two existing options.

Turn Standard Notes into Proton Notes
Standard Notes has an outdated UI. Also, if people look for a privacy friendly notes service they will find many different options which they have most likely never heard of. If you now turn Standard Notes into Proton Notes (or create a separate app that syncs with Standard Notes), the people won't just find unknown notes services, they will find Proton Notes, who they've most likely heard of already if they're into privacy.
So, it doesn't just improve the UI, but it also helps strengthen the brand identity (and find more possible paying customers)

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!

Local Storage for Proton Drive
Instead of having only 5GB of cloud storage, Make a feature where you can use a local drive. For example, Nextcloud and 1 more service have the ability to turn a NAS or a USB in your computer into your own cloud.
