Asking for an app review should not happen too often and can be declined temporarily or permanently
ProtonVPN Firefox extension asked me to review it at least 3 times, even I have already reviewed more than one year ago. There does not seem to be any way to say "I already did".
Maybe the app can then prompt again with lets say 2-5 years delay if I want to update the review.
Asking too often feels negative/bad design.

Allow option to preview email from app notification
The option to be able to preview the email from app notification instead of having to open proton in full would be highly valued as a per user setting. Quick access is sometimes imperative. The functionality, efficiency and practicality lost by not having this option has made it difficult to switch to PM entirely.

apt update / upgrade for all Proton apps instead of manual update
Hi dear Proton team,
In order to facilitate Proton products adoption, it would be nice to generalize an easy way to update our beloved Proton tools.
Proton VPN has his apt update / upgrade process, it's easy and professional.To be frank, it's hard to promote Proton tools in companies if i have to explain that an IT guy has to download and install manually Proton Pass, Proton Mail and tomorrow Proton Drive on every computer each time there is an update.
Of course, Ansible exists and it could be easy to update automatically those products but you have to…4 votes -
Proton Wallet for Android/iOS should show a blank screen when switching between recent apps like the other Proton apps do
Proton Mail and Pass both show a blank screen when switching between the app and another recent app while multitasking, so Proton Wallet should too. This seems to be a fairly common feature among most financial and crypto apps and it's something that Proton Wallet should have to avoid exposing account balances when the app is in the background. Yes, you can hide the balance by clicking the eye icon, but given that every banking app I use now does this I think it should be a standard feature here too.

[Proton Meet] Screen Sharing on Windows
For the Windows app, there are no screen sharing options that pop up, unlike in the browser (Brave, Edge) where I can choose to share a tab, my window or entire screen.
When you press the screen sharing button, your full screen is shared immediately.

Advanced Category Grouping
Overview:
We need to enhance the sorting capabilities in Proton Mail to better support users managing multiple email addresses. The goal is to introduce an Outlook-style "Group by Category" sorting feature to improve inbox navigation.Customizable Category Grouping (Outlook-Style)
Functionality: Within these folders, users need a customizable category display similar to the Outlook desktop app.
Sorting Logic: When an email is assigned a category, the user should be able to sort the folder by these categories.
Primary Sort: Group emails by Category.
Secondary Sort: Within each category block, emails must be sorted chronologically.
UI/UX Behavior (Collapsible/Top-Level Display): When the "Sort…

Mobile Apps: Do not prompt for FIDO2 pin (be consistent with website)
I don't know about the Android apps, but on iOS, the dialogue prompts for the pin when using a security key.
This is not the case on the website, and in my opinion, requesting the pin only makes sense when the key is the only factor, in Proton's case, the user's password is already required.

Calendar Events Notification. A Daily Mystery
What would be actually useful would be to see the actual "event" title in the email notification subject, rather than the mysterious and cryptic "Reminder: event starting on..." especialy when you have 10 of these turn up in a row.

Improvements for business
I recently considered switching my nonprofit from Proton for Business to Ksuite for business because of several items Infomaniak offered that Proton does not:
Captions in video meetings: Please allow captions or transcriptions ProtonMeet. This is an accessibility issue.
Shared email addresses: For a business, the ability to share an email address across uses is simply a must. For example, several users may need to access and check info@business.com and reply from it.
Connect an existing OnlyOffice drive/account: We have an existing OnlyOffice drive and would love to be able to connect that to our Proton drive. We learned that…

Android Proton Apps in single, verifiable, supported Repository
Currently Proton makes all of its APKs available via protonapps.com; however it does not make the primary pages for the APKs easy to access or obvious. Additionally, Proton has been previously committed to following a more open-source modelling, publishing to Github. However consistency across Proton Apps is quite poor, and trying to access APKs via this method easily (in essence, as per an RSS feed) is not ideal.
I note that Proton partially supports alternative with VPN and Pass both on F-Droid. Whilst the GrapheneOS community often has issues with this, it is ultimately up to the user.
I would…

[Proton Meet] please don't use name "Meet" from Google
Re: Born Private, Proton Workspace, private video calling + more
Dear Proton!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is like a dream come true 🥰
I have one suggestion at this time, instead of calling the video conference app "Proton Meet" is it possible to call it "Proton Engage" because "Meet" resonates the nightmare that Google has imposed on us with Gmail's "Google Meet" that is scary beyond imagination.
Please think about it 👍

Fix TOTP Secrets Being Logged in Plaintext for Desktop App
I noticed that the Proton Authenticator desktop app for Windows stores plaintext logs on the OS. Revealing lots of sensitive information to Windows OS. Completely making the privacy friendly design of Proton Authenticator useless for the desktop app. I uninstalled it and will not use it until that is fixed or changed. There was no option to redirect or change that setting. Complete oversight for Proton's standards of privacy.

Proton: Are you taking part in Anthropic's Project Glasswing Initiative?
https://www.anthropic.com/glasswing
Today we’re announcing Project Glasswing1, a new initiative that brings together Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks in an effort to secure the world’s most critical software.
We formed Project Glasswing because of capabilities we’ve observed in a new frontier model trained by Anthropic that we believe could reshape cybersecurity. Claude Mythos2 Preview is a general-purpose, unreleased frontier model that reveals a stark fact: AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and…2 votes -
Kudos On Proton Pass & Proton Authenticator
Have been using LastPass for a LONG time. Also started using Apple Passwords. I like your Pass/Authenticator apps better than those two. A couple of functional gaps, but easier to use, fast, simple, and has some features the others don't have. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Allow importing multiple events into Proton Calendar from .ics attachments in Proton Mail
Currently, if we have an .ics attachment with a single event in a Proton mail email, we are able to import that into Proton Calendar.
However, .ics attachments that contain multiple events are not yet supported, and show this message: "This ICS file contains more than one event. Please download it and import the events in Proton Calendar". This introduces a fair amount of friction.I get these quite a lot as I often book train journeys where both the outbound and return journeys are sent to me as two calendar events within one ICS attachment.
Please change the Proton…

Mail: Multiple Select All Glitches
The bulk select all checkbox in Proton Mail seems to apply only to the current page. So hundreds of emails on pages 2 and beyond are failing to apply the requested action (e.g. mark as read).
In fact, the the Mark as Read / Mark as Unread toggle doesn't even present a consistent action from page to page of the results. You have to remember not to accidentally mark some results as unread, as you traverse each individual page.

Offline mode not working if connection is blocked
In some countries all or most Proton services are blocked. If you travel there and need to access your proton pass client or browser extension, it's not working and as Proton VPN or other VPNs are blocked too there is no way to use the tool even if the offline setting of the password manager is activated. The only way is to really turn off the wifi on the laptop and then the password manager detects that you're offline and let you access to the desktop client or the browser extension.
An expected behavior would be more than after trying…

Having a " Family Email" address than can redirect to each family member
In order for multiple family members to all have access to utility bills, local tax requests, and the like related to managing a residence, it would be ideal to:
- have a " residence@proton.me" email address used with all service providers and government entities
- have that redirect to member 1, 2, 3 etc...This would reproduce the goold old residence mailbox we lost with digital billing. It would avoid risking losing access to critical bills and residence management info if something happens to the sole member whose email address is used.
