  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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

  4. Proton Family pricing options

    I'm happy to see the newly released Proton Family plan! I've been waiting around for something like this for a while. However, I don't really need to support 6 users in my small family. Can we instead get pricing per member? The current pricing is about 3.33 USD per member per month, at 19.99 USD per month if you get the 2 year plan. How about flexible pricing: 2 members = 4.99 USD each, 3 members = 4.49 USD each, 4 members = 3.99 USD each, 5 members = 3.49 USD each, 6 members 3.33 USD each.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. 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?

  8. Publish all Android APK to FDroid

    As well as the Proton VPN APK being published to FDroid it would be helpful if all the application (Mail, Calendar, Pass, etc) APKs were posted there as well.

  10. Allow family members to create new email addresses privately.

    Currently the Family Plan provides a total of 90 email addresses for all family members, but the admin users must create the addresses for each member. From a privacy standpoint this is very wrong.

    I recommend having an option for the admin users to allocate an amount of addresses from the total of 90 to each member. Each member should then create their own additional addresses, and the additional addresses should be only visible to each user. Family admins should not be able to see family member secondary addresses.

    I purchased the Family Plan for my family because I value…

  11. Include Android APKs in all GitHub releases

    For Proton Mail it's already being done:
    https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-android/releases

    I'd like to see GitHub releases with attached APKs for all other Android apps as well.
    This would be really helpful for people using Obtainium & similar tools.

  12. Respond inline on desktop

    Works on phone app - be consistent and allow to Respond In-line. I hate having people to open up something in an email I forward - they see a blank email until they select to "open" the forward. Who did the bug oversight with such bad inconsistency?

  14. dark

    The dark theme on Drive and VPN is a nightmare: to have grey or dark purple text on a black background is ludicrous. who can read that? Maybe this works great for gamers who sit in a dark room all their lives and their eyes can distinguish between black and very dark grey but I think most people like some clearer distinction. Maybe it looks "cool", but it is impractical and annoying.
    I am really struggling to the point of thinking of cancelling my Proton subscription. We can select a lighter theme for web services why not for the desktop…

  15. Pay for subcription with Monero (XMR)

    Would be great to see Monero (XMR) offred as a crypto payent option for Proton Subscriptions.
    Right now there is really no private way of paying for Proton serivces:
    Credit\Debit - Central Govment regualted bank montioring trnasactions
    Paypal- Central Private Comany borkering the transaction to another financial institution
    Bitcoin - Transactions are publlicly visible on the blockchain, privacy/anonymity is highly dependent on the assumption the wallet address isnt ever associated with the user’s true identity
    Cash - Could get lost or stolen in the mail and Is marked with the destination.

    Monero restores to us the privacy originally promsied to…

  16. Allow a default app from the sign-in screen

    I find the new "Welcome screen" that requires you to select from a list of apps quite annoying, it would be nice to be able to set a default app that allows you to skip this.

  18. Proton Drive for macOS Monterrey and MacBook Air 2017

    Hello developpers !

    Can you make an update of Proton Drive for MacOS, that allows us to use it on former mac. Currently, we need to have macOS 13 or 14, but for exeample, MacBook Air 2017 only works until macOS 12 Monterrey.

    Can you make an app like Proton mail Beta for macOS that works on Monterrey please. It will be very usefull for members who have a premium plan.

    Thanks a lot.
    Faithfully yours.

  20. 2FA by hardware key only

    Being able to add physical Fido token is great but I would like that the requirement for TOTP to be removed.

    TOTO is quite often software based and software = surface of attack. Physical token allow air gap and are very secure and I don’t need TOTP personally, it makes my account vulnerable.

    Also just like Apple, a minimum of 2 physical tokens should be enforced since having a single token is putting you at risk of you loose it. 2 or more should be the rule of thumb.
