  1. Focus on functionality and feature parity on existing products

    Proton should really focus on building with feature parity in mind. Most of their products work differently depending on the OS and that's not a good experience. Plenty of people use different OS (for example both Windows and Mac computers, the wife with Android, the husband with iPhone and the tech kid on Linux.

    STOP overmoderating, STOP spreading thin your resources and FOCUS.

    Thanks for posting an idea on Uservoice, as per the asks on the front page:


    Please make requests specific and actionable, generic "improve" or "make x better" posts will be removed.


    Different teams at Proton work on different products. There are still people working on improving Mail, Drive, Docs etc.

  2. Request for better UserVoice standards for posters and moderators

    NOTE: I want to make it clear that I will give credit where credit is due, for example seeing examples of truly excellent engagement, such as the detailed explanation for the 'Metadata encryption' idea, which was transparent and thoughtful. I also had a fantastic experience with Proton Docs (Drive) customer service, who the agent (who I will not name for PRIVACY) did a great job of assisting me. This shows Proton can communicate effectively.

  3. Proton Sheets - Undo via keyboard shortcut inconsistent

    On Mac within safari, using cmd+Z to undo within Proton Sheets sometimes undoes the last action in sheets as it should, or it randomly switches to undoing within safari (reopening a closed tab).

    unclear to me when it choses to do which, but it's very disorienting.

  4. Proton sheets - backspace or change of a cell should not lose formatting + formula weirdness

    I have a column of dates. If I change one, the formatting of the cell reverts to black text even though I changed it to white.

    I also have a row of cells that are dark with white text. if I hit backspace on the cell (ie getting rid of the text) the cell loses its background colour.

    I've tried recreating one of my google sheets in proton sheets, but I haven't managed to get very far. Having to continually reformat things is tedious. I knew that functionality would be basic initially, but this is a simple duration counter (for…

  5. excel

    Awesome to see sheets coming to Proton. Some things I noticed that were missing for me when using Google Sheets:

    1. When using the '$' symbol, I'm noticing the cells still move if dragging or copying. Generally this symbol indicates that the cells should be static.

    2. When using the "sum" feature and I add a row in the middle, the "sum" should update to include the new total number of rows.

    3. The ability to "hide" a sheet that I don't want to see all the time.

    4. Suggestion: for the "accounting" formatting, can we move the currency symbol to always be left…

    Please raise issues on Uservoice as individual requests rather than bundling them together. Also please check ahead of doing this that they haven't already been raised. Thanks.

  6. 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.

  7. Better signatures

    The current signature feature in Proton Mail is insufficient for business applications.

    In addition to long requested features such as support for multiple signatures, or being able to switch between HTML and Plain signatures on different platforms, other features such as, but not limited to, the following would make Proton Mail a realistic option for larger businesses:

    • reply signature option (to avoid spamming a big signature block for every single reply in a thread),
    • authenticating signatures (signatures with some kind of validation token; unclear on how to implement),
    • a signature catalogue (browse multiple signatures and set for which address they…

  8. Proton Drive absolutely hosed

    Proton Drive on macOS is completely broken. It fails to present file path entries in Finder for files I've long since uploaded to my Proton Drive account from other devices.

    As a workaround, I have to move a recent file from Proton Drive to my Mac, pause syncing, resume syncing, and wait for the next file entry to appear. I have to do this for every single missing entry, which is quite laborious. Computers exist to automate, not cause even more problems.

  9. What could be improved in Proton so that more people would buy subscriptions?

    1. Proton pay - I use GrapheneOS, and I'm missing software that can replace Gpay, that I can trust with my data, and that I want to use with NFC.

    2. Proton notes - Right now, I'm using Notesnook. Obsidian seems too cluttered for me, while Notesnook looks minimalistic. I use to-do lists and tables, because it's convenient for me to have everything in one app, but maybe in the future I'll start making tables in Proton Sheets.

    3. Proton to-do-list -In Notesnook, I have tables, notes, to-do lists, all of which are missing from the Proton app. At least the to-do list…

  10. Improve Uservoice, please...

    This is asking for a dark mode, better UI that of proton mail in quality, a warning that twitter(x) is a VERY bad website for privacy, and fixing the system for icons, the site that proton uses for icons is according to my source of "Blacklight" by Themarckup contains multiple trackers including evading trackers, it also lets google track you. So I propose that we flock over to a different way of getting icons or at least a disclaimer to use Tor before acquiring an icon.

    It is not useful for voting to have a mass of things bundled together.


    When it comes to things like "better UI" please be specific, what could be better? What would it look like?

  11. Fowarding Mails from Gmail contradicts the reason why I switched to Proton.

    I want to do everything I can to get more free storage space. However, the forwarding from Gmail to Proton means that the systems from Google know my new email addresses. I prefer to manually switch my accounts to the new email addresses.

  12. No US social media platforms for news, discussions, etc.

    I would appreciate it if feature releases, the latest news on privacy and tips on online security were not announced and discussed on US platforms such as X and Reddit. These are private-sector platforms, and the US administration is using its economic and military power to prevent regulations on American social media platforms that would protect EU European users.

    If you have requests to do with Proton's products then please don't hesitate to raise them; requests about the ways in which Proton's products are marketed are not for Uservoice.

  13. Data validation in Proton Sheets

    Hello Proton Team,

    So the current behaviour of the validation is that when we press a "Delete" on a validation Cell, the validation Cell with "Dropdown (from a range)" will entirely disappear, which is quite wrong in my opinion. I (and I believe the most people) would be expected that deletion won't remove the validation that applied on that Cell.

    Not just this, I hope this validation system can have an option that allows user to decide rejecting the value or not, with the rule we set up. Unlike the current status that always allow other values that is not…

  14. Prioritization

    Hi Proton Team!

    I really like all the new products and ideas that are implemented. I appreciate how this is mostly due to people in this forum actively requesting stuff and you listening! Bravo.

    BUT! Could you please mainly focus on the boring task of improving your existing products before rolling out new stuff? There are so many important features being discussed here that are just sitting and waiting since 2023...For example:

    • Mac Folder Sync
    • Separated Mailboxes
    • Improved Docs

    I understand the excitement of launching new products, but a solid foundation matters more than a wide product range. Quality over…

  15. Proton Mail down: "Internal server error"

    Proton Mail fails to load. I see an "Internal server error" error message. This started happening within the hour.

    Meanwhile, the official Proton Services Status page blindly reports "All Systems Operational." There's a disconnect between the Mail service and the status report.

    Ohne vorher zu testen, werde ich nicht wechseln. Schade, so verlieren sie potenzielle Kunden.

  17. [BUG] Proton Docs web - cant scroll up

    I discovered a minor bug in the web based Proton Docs when viewing or editing a document.

    I am using an E-reader (specifically [Boox Go color 7]) the device has scroll/page turn buttons used to scroll up & down. The buttons can be configured to [page] or [scroll]. I am using the [scroll] method.
    I can scroll down normally, but scroll up doesnt work.

    Proton Docs is displayed using Android Firefox on the device, so it is Firefox that is scrolling up & down. There is no issue with this normally on any webpage, but on Proton Docs for some…

  19. It's time for change. Is Proton listening?

    Quick look.

    As a long-time Proton user, I'm concerned by systemic "UserNeglect" and transparency issues. UserVoice ideas, like staying AI-free (425 votes), were [DECLINED ❌] just before Proton launched its Lumo AI tool. A Proton Admin on Reddit even contradicted Lumo's logging claims, and the official website still hasn't been corrected, showing a severe lack of follow-through. More issues like spam on the forums, unclosed completed ideas, and responses that never come make this an unignorable issue.

    My detailed UserVoice post on these issues gets minimal attention, and my Reddit post is stuck awaiting mod approval – ironically highlighting the…

  20. Geburtstag im Format dd. MMM eingeben (ohne Jahr)

    In Kontakte (Proton Mail) sollte es möglich sein, den Geburtstag einer Person ohne das Geburtsjahr einzutragen. Dies ist aktuell nicht möglich. Ich kann den Geburtstag nur als dd. MMM yyyy eingeben. Dies ist ein Problem, da ich so das Geburtsdatum nicht eintragen kann, wenn ich das Geburtsjahr nicht kenne und kein fiktives Geburtsjahr "erfinden" will.
