Newsletters Disable Option
Please allow subscribers to disable Proton's annoying "Newletters" function. There is no reason for Proton to categorize emails in this manner unless you guys are keeping track of the types of emails people get and selling that info to marketers. It's invasive and akin to snooping on your part. If I needed an annoying "email categorizing" function, I would use gmail.

Move away from Electron apps
Many apps that Proton uses are built with Electron, which are much less secure and much more bloated than native apps

I think it would be really cool if all of Proton's apps could be native ones.5 votes -
Online help documentation needs updated
Online Help Documentation needs to be updated. I have experienced incorrect online help documentation during numerous searches. My last experience was with Lumo. The search results were inaccurate when I needed to change email settings and add a new email address. I had to figure it out on my own.
If a feature of any Proton product gets changed in any way, the documentation needs to be updated and posted the same time of the product update patches get released. That is good business practice.

Display From address in summary list
In the folder view it only shows the display name on the email address, but this makes it harder to fully identify the source without the domain. For spam safety it helps you spot bogus domain names so you can reject it without looking. For regular emails it helps when someone's display name is just their name; I have to open the email to know if it's from a company I want to communicate with. For source verification it would be even better for it to be the envelop FROM address instead of the From header, but I know that's…

Customizable animated avatar for Lumo
Hey Lumo team,
I love the animated Lumo avatar, but it would be awesome to let users customize it. A few ideas:
- Theme picker – dark, neon, minimalist, etc . & Upload your own short GIF/PNG (with an optional “animation off” toggle for low‑bandwidth mode).
- Live preview before saving, so we can see how it looks in‑chat.
Having a personal avatar would make the experience feel more “me” and keep the vibe fresh. Thanks for considering!

Drive only subscription
Hey! I know this is something you'll have to really think through inside the company, but I'm sharing my case anyway!
I'm sorry if this idea was already suggested, but I couldn't find it.
I'd like a Drive-only subscription, just like we have an email-only one. I'd like to start using your services, but I already pay for another VPN and use another password manager. So paying for all of those if I'm not using them seems like a lot.
That is it. Thanks for considering this!

Make the app logos semantically relevant
The current app logos follow the Google trend of keeping to a strict aesthetic at the cost of user experience. The google ones are confusing and ugly, and the proton ones are only slightly nicer to look at, but equally ambiguous as to what they represent. Unless they are labelled, i cant tell which app is which.

Accomodation
Dear Proton Team,
I am a deaf user who relies heavily on visual communication tools and AI assistance to read, understand, and compose written content. Lumo’s AI capabilities are essential for me to interact with digital information independently.
However, the current pricing model makes these indispensable features effectively unavailable to many deaf users who cannot afford the additional cost. This creates a disparity in accessibility: a tool designed to aid communication becomes a financial obstacle for the very community that needs it most.
I respectfully request that Proton consider one (or more) of the following accommodations:
A discounted or free…

search for more data in contacts
I would be very very usefull to be able to search in the contacts not only for Names and E-Mail Adresses but also for specific keywords. We have often keywords in the notices of a contact but are not able to filter them out in the search field. It should search in all data fields of a contact.

Consistent Cross-Platform Functionality
Proton apps should offer consistent functionality across mobile, desktop, and the web. Currently, several important actions are only available in one version, forcing users to switch platforms unnecessarily.
Examples:
Proton Drive: File sharing cannot be initiated from the mobile or desktop app and requires opening the web version. Sharing should be possible directly within the apps.
Calendar: Sharing a calendar with another Proton user currently works only on desktop, not on mobile.

Get rid of the Black Friday promo all together
We live in a world of overconsumption. With a climate crises and ecological crisis as a result. Black Friday is synonym for overconsumption and therefor completely unethical. It is unbelieveable how agressively Proton forces their users into this cheap cr@ppy low capitalist habit. Year after year.

Pass Monitor: Inconsistent UI
Pass Monitor normally applies a green color to items which are satisfied for security checks. However, the "Excluded items" section fails to highlight in green. Even when zero items are excluded from scans.

Mail Bridge im Gratis Account
ich möchte von Google, Microsoft, GMX usw zu Proton wechseln.
Im Gratis Test Account ist es nicht möglich die ProtonBridge für Mail-Clients zu testen.
Ohne vorher zu testen, werde ich nicht wechseln. Schade, so verlieren sie potenzielle Kunden.1 vote -
Add DARK MODE to PROTON DOCS (or just use Opera Browser)
Only little intervention needed to extend the structure of proton docs, to a fully adjustable background feature. Maybe even ask Lumo to do it over night. pls my eyes hurt...Or just ask opera to open it for you and forcing it to dark mode

Add CHAT FUNCTION to PROTON DOCS
Only little intervention needed to extend the structure of proton docs, to a fully functional but minimalistic chat window with an option login and an option guest. Maybe even ask Lumo to do it over night.

Transparent Design
Not exactly a feature, but I would love to see the Proton apps in a kind of transparent design philosophy. On the website, there are pictures of, for example Proton Mail, where messages are highlighted in transparent and a bit see through. There are so many examples of it on the other apps too, on the website and the pictures of those Proton Products. I think it would be great, if the UI matches those transparent elements, like they’re on the website!
PS: Great work you guys do, love your products!2 votes -
Referral section with the link - Does not provide any information about my privacy or email address customization
https://account.proton.me/u/30/mail/referral does not provide any assurance about my data shared with the referred user, for example i do not want referred user know my name or email address. If email is revealed to a referred user, then I would like to be able to customize which email address of mine they would see.
I can not find any privacy details of the referral program at https://proton.me/support/referral-program
Btw. https://lumo.proton.me thinks that my primary email address is shared with the referred user. Ask:
"When using Proton referral program, is my email address shared with the referred user? Can i customize which of…3 votes -
Link to Standard Notes blog from Proton blog
The Proton product updates blog should include a link to the Standard Notes blog, in the same way it links to the SimpleLogin blog. It would help make it easier to stay up to date.

Proton Drive custom page view/order of files and docs
Proton Drive custom page view/order.
Example: when on Proton Drive first page, with all my folders, I use alphabetical order a-z. Then when I open a folder, in many situations I have a long list of documents, but I'm looking for the newest or oldest one, so I change the page view/order accordingly. However, then when I return to the first page all the folders have changed also to oldest or newest - and are not listed alphabetically anymore...Would it be possible to keep the view per page or folder, so that it doesn't always have to be changed…
