Ability for subscribers to disable ads completely
I think an app that's supposed to be running almost always, should not be disrupting the use of the device.
I see an unusual activity whenever there's offers, where Proton VPN icon shows up on the taskbar. I clicked it to end up knowing that it's just an "ad" for the ongoing offer that I won't be trying.
It doesn't end up there, whenever I need to open the app during the time an offer is live, I have to take an extra step of closing off a pop-up of the said ad. I can't even disable it.
I was…

Secure remote control like RustDesk / TeamViewer
Hello, perhaps Proton could offer a remote connection/control signalling server, which would ONLY make the initial connection, as in users x want to connect to user y and Proton simply give each client the connection address; and after that the Proton would disconnect and all data would be e2e between the clients themselves, not needing anymore server inbetween.
Something like TeamViewer used to be easier to use, but now requires more hassle and is less secure, with data travelling thru the tv servers.
There is RustDesk that uses the Rendezvous protocol for hole punching. Proton could use or build upon…3 votes -

Allow for annotating emails
The ability to take a quick note that gets saved to an email or highlight sections of an email would be an excellent tool for keeping track of a wide variety of things. Annotations/notes would be visible only to the user.
This example came to mind when I purchased four game keys for friends and I lost track of which keys I gave to friends and who had accepted them. The ability to quickly annotate in the email I received whom received which key would've been a huge help. Similarly, highlighting key parts of a long email or tasks that…

See recent attachment downloads in desktop app
I love the ProtonMail desktop app (Mac here). But there's one big downside to processing my mail in an app rather than a browser, which is that my browser (Firefox) had a nice "Downloaded" button (also command-J) that let me instantly open the most recently saved attachment. Without that button, I have to open a Finder window and navigate to the file. I'd love to see you copy that browser feature in the app.

Contact support with privacy preserving option such as PGP key
Add a way for customers to contact your support team in privacy-preserving ways, such as, enabling the use of PGP keys. This is important because when zendesk or (insert customer support platform name here) suffers a data breach, sensitive information is less likely to be leaked. This could be easily done by allowing users to contact the support team signing the email with their own PGP keys.

Perspective on Proton's Product Development
I observe that a predominant number of individuals are expressing similar desires, primarily focused on new additions to the Proton product line. These range from requests for a Proton-managed and optimized SearXNG instance, functioning as a search engine, to surprising appeals for a new operating system.
While some of these ideas possess merit, they seem somewhat disconnected from the actual needs of both individuals and businesses. As a Visionary account holder, I utilize Proton to address the requirements of both my family and my company. In both contexts, there are more critical features missing in Proton's offerings than the introduction…

Connection attempt notifications (even when wrong password)
I have recently been the target of malicious persons who managed to access personal accounts (Proton non included) and I thought it would be nice if there were an option to be warned of every connection attempt to my Proton account.

Biometric lock / pattern / pin needs to be independent of the phone system.
The biometric lock needs to be independent from the phone built in one. The same way that banking apps do it so access to the phone does not automatically mean access to the Proton services.

Proton Download Manager
Software for downloading different file formats
File data such as torrents should also be available for download.Allows you to download videos displayed in your browser with the click of a button.
Frankly, there are already a lot of download manager software out there, but we would like you to produce a download manager with a cool Proton design.
I translated it with a translation tool, so I apologize if there is any wrong English.....

Explore Outlook PST in Proton Drive or import into existing email folder/account
Usage:
To import a .pst file and select which email account you'd like to use. Messages are brought in and act as your regular email or you can select an option to essentially 'explore it' like a subfolder after it's been uploaded to your Proton drive.Background:
PST files act as a local storage copy of archival messages that you don't want hogging up your mailbox account. However, in some instances such as Proton Mail, it might be beneficial to have access to that backup copy such as from your Proton Drive.Personal use case:
For my personal use case,…3 votes -

All Proton applications are rapidly evolving. It would be awesome to provide a summary of changes when users open the app for the first time after an update.

Proton Card / Tarjeta
I see that you have already proposed both a Coin and a Proton wallet, now I come and propose a Proton Digital Card, have you seen Zinli yet? Similar services already exist, yes, but there are not many and they leave something to be desired in some things, that's why you would take off with your own international card, people know how much it costs to go to Switzerland and get a bank account...
You will revolutionize by getting a free digital one like Zinli! Such a card would complement with its own online wallet preferably emulating AirTm, using both…
