  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. Proton Unlimited – A growing gap in the ecosystem?

    Might I suggest a closer alignment between Proton Meet and Proton Unlimited?

    While one appreciates the realities of resource constraints, the current approach—where an already top-tier plan effectively becomes “upgradeable” (as seen with Meet and Lumo)—undermines the original concept of Unlimited. It begins to feel less like a complete offering and more like a base layer for subsequent add-ons.

    If this direction is necessary, a clearer restructuring would be preferable: either introduce a new, higher-tier plan, or reconsider the scope and pricing of the existing ones. As it stands, what was once the definitive individual tier now feels somewhat diluted.

  3. Warn when too many recipients, and be able to select/copy/remove all

    I am trying to send news to my family and friends. I thought having the paid plan would allow me to avoid GMail and send the mail to everybody (150 emails approx). But I can't.
    What is even more frustrating:
    - there is no warning when we are close/reach the limit
    - there is no message saying "you are trying to send to 104 people, the limit is 100", just a general message
    - there is no way (AFAIK) to remove all BCC recipients directly, I need to remove them one by one
    - there is no way to select-all…

  4. Evaluate closely the risks to Proton and users even in Switzerland.

    Somewhat different from most topics here: I want to suggest a bit of caution with the frequent use of "Swiss - based" and the like as a sort of guarantor of privacy; elsewhere on Proton's website (the business part iirc) it even states it is thus beyond the surveillance powers of the U.S. and co. This is simply not true. Indeed, Switzerland IS MUCH BETTER about privacy and laws than the U.S., however like ALL states, they are composed of the weakest links in security: humans.

    I am not suggesting Proton move out of Switzerland at all. But, the state…

  5. Subject: Trust is Broken: Ignoring Customers Who Ask for Honesty

    Hi Proton Team,

    I am writing this as a paying customer (Unlimited + Lumo+) who believes in the mission of Proton. But right now, that belief is being tested by a pattern of behavior that is deeply damaging to the one thing Proton claims to value most: Trust.

    The Pattern of Dismissal Every time a customer asks a simple, honest question—"Where is the server-side open source code?" or "Why doesn't the personalization feature work?"—they are met with silence, deflection, or the implication that they are the ones who misunderstood.

    Customers are treated as if it is their fault for believing:

  6. Subject: "No Warranty" and "Not Responsible for Accuracy" — The Loophole That Voids Every Promise

    Hi Proton Team,

    There is a section in Proton's agreements that most users will never read, but it fundamentally undermines everything they were sold on:

    "No warranty." "Not responsible for accuracy."

    These clauses mean that every promise Proton makes — about protecting your data, about encryption, about open source, about features working — comes with a legal escape hatch. If something goes wrong, if a feature doesn't work, if accuracy fails, the company has already protected itself. The user has no recourse.

    The Playbook This isn't unique to Proton. It's standard corporate practice. But Proton isn't supposed to be standard.…

  8. APK for Proton Authenticator and Proton Lumo hosted on proton.me website.

    These applications are currently hosted on GitHub and F-Droid, if you want an Android APK. I'd prefer to see these moved to verifiable and trusted Proton platform websites.

  9. .heic

    Hi,
    I hope you are having a blessed day. Recently ran into a conversion issue for heic. I know a lot of customers use iphone's and based on the transfer of pictures it would be amazing if you added support to preview heic within your own amazing email product. This would save a lot of time (maybe even the ability to convert to jpeg when it notices a attachment).

  10. An idea for an advanced Proton Drive ecosystem

    Do you think this would already be a good new beginning? Since the ProtonMail and Proton Calendar apps are being recreated, Proton Drive should probably be next.

    Proton Drive:

    Obviously it should be a File Manager solely for data backup and restore, an advanced service.

    Download and upload folders, automatically with synchronization or manually.

    Have the various one-way synchronization options available, which are essential for backing up or restoring folders.

    Be an advanced File Manager, both offline and online.

    Manage and monitor the "special folders" of other services that are in Drive.

    Proton Photos:

    A Gallery-based application, designed for the…

  11. 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!

  12. 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

  13. Shared Android Account Authentication Across Proton Apps

    Implement unified account authentication across Proton's Android apps, similar to Google and Yandex ecosystems. Once a user signs in to one Proton app, that account should be available for other Proton apps on the same device without requiring repeated manual login.

    Description:
    Currently, Proton apps on Android require separate sign-in for each app, even when the user is logging into the same Proton account. This creates unnecessary friction. If a user is already authenticated in Proton Mail, apps like Proton VPN or Proton Pass should be able to detect and reuse that existing account session instead of asking for login…

  14. Manage contacts on a separate page

    It would be very useful to be able to manage my contacts on a specific page.
    This would provide an overview of contacts, rather than just a small space on the right-hand side of the messaging app that doesn't show all the contact details.
    It's a waste of time having to scroll through my entire list to manage it.

    Thanks

  16. Filters and Automations improvements

    I'd like to have extended functionalities for filters, relying more on automations that are triggered at regular custom timers or events, instead of only "as a new email is received".

    I'd like to have these:

    1) New Automation criteria:
    • Emails that are older or newer than "X days/weeks/months";
    • Email status as "read" or "unread";
    • Email location (folder);
    • Attachment size is lower or higher than X (to label them as "bulky").
    • "Without answer" (to detect all emails we sent which didn't receive answers).
    This would allow automations such as: if the email is older than 1…

  18. Enable 'change layout' for photos - toggle list view vs thumbnail

    Minor tweak may improve usability. Enable change layout function for Photos tab in web UI.

    Functionality already exists for files tab in same UI.

    This may enable faster processing of large volumes of backup files, e.g. album creation due to removal of the need to load thumbnails.

  20. Separate second passwords per service

    Right now there’s a second password for the email account. Can we set a different second password per service and choose whether to use it or not?

    The issue is that when I log into Drive or Authenticator, they ask for the email’s second password — which isn’t secure. I set that second password specifically for email, so that if I enter my password in another service, nobody could use it to access my mailbox.

    For example, I don’t need a second password for Authenticator or VPN. Sometimes I log into my VPN at my parents’ place, and I don’t…
