A storage management dashboard
Hi,
A storage management dashboard, with details of what's taking what and the file types, a bit like Treesize, can be very useful.(https://www.jam-software.com/treesize)
A a good day !

Select multiple images and export/share
Sometimes you want to do the same action with not just one image but maybe 10, or 20 etc. For example, maybe I want to export them to another app, or send them to a friend etc. However, in the Proton Drive app on iOS, as soon as you select more than one image the only option you have is to add them to a library. All other sharing-features are removed. This is such a road block when you want to access your images and perform a task. For example, the other day I wanted to export images from Proton…

Privacy-first local media compression & conversion tool (Photos & Videos)
I would like to propose a privacy-first media compression and conversion tool that runs entirely on local devices (PC and smartphones), without uploading any photos or videos to external servers.
Description:
This application would allow users to safely compress and convert images and videos directly on their own devices.
By leveraging human visual perception–aware compression methods, media files can be significantly reduced in size while preserving visual quality and original resolution (pixel dimensions).Users could optionally convert media into next-generation formats such as AVIF, JPEG XL, or AV1, choosing between compatibility-focused or efficiency-focused options.
All processing would be performed locally,…5 votes -
Built in email translation for Proton Mail
Hello Proton Team,
I would like to propose a built-in translation feature directly inside Proton Mail. This would significantly improve usability, especially for international users.
Current problem:
Reading emails in foreign languages requires copying content into external services like DeepL or Google Translate. This interrupts workflow, increases friction, and creates unnecessary dependency on third-party tools.Real-world use cases:
International communication: Users receiving emails in English, Finnish, German, etc. need fast translation to understand content instantly
Newsletters & services: Many newsletters and automated emails are not localized
Business & work: Professionals communicating across countries need quick, reliable translations
Privacy-conscious users: Copying…3 votes -
Official F-droid Repository
Hello,
It would be nice to have an official F-droid repo for all protonapps.
This way all apps would easily stay up-to-date without using the google playstore (or the aurore store)
Thanx for considering!

Proton Sheets – condensed fonts! (And more fonts in general)
Roboto Condensed and the Fira Sans family which includes a condensed version would be great. Yes, making sheets pretty with more font options would be nice, but very practically a condensed font would be very useful.
I'd love for the font menu to be smarter, like recently used fonts going to the top. Being searchable would become relevant if the font selection increases later on.
Thank you!

More support for grapheneos or bring into proton
No point having secure mail if OS looked after by Google etc. An actual private OS that can be trusted would be very popular.

Add a "Proton Docs" category to the forum
Currently, Proton Docs lacks a dedicated category on this forum. This forces users to post Proton Docs feedback in the "General Ideas" forum, which could potentially slow down the app’s development. Therefore, I formally request that a dedicated category for Proton Docs be added to the forum. Thank you for your attention and your valuable time.

Make all apps able to update themselves independently of app stores
Similar to what Signal does, it would be great to be able to install apps from the proton website, then update them from the app itself, without having to use the app store. This would reduce dependencies on App Stores that are run in (and potentially influenced by) authoritarian governments. Not having to trust Google Play or the Apple iStore (or whatever it's called) would be wonderful for those of us living under newly authoritarian governments, or anyone outside that country using those app stores.

Adding photos/screenshots to Proton Calendar entries
Setting up an event in Proton Calendar can be a bit time consuming.
Instead, it would be neat if you could just copy paste a screenshot into the "description" field or even adding an "attachment" field.The issue may be longer sync times, because more data has to be moved. Reaching the MB limit of the account could also become an issue.
Thus, if this feature would be added, I'd also like the feature: "Delete attachments from calendar entries in the past" --> "Yes", "No".

Allow to test recovery phrase
I suggest that users can test if they saved the recovery phrase correctly. (Currently, the only option is to create a new phrase.)
Two cases where this might be helpful come to my mind:
- To check if a recovery phrase written down years ago is still the correct one. (I write recovery phrases on a paper and then usually never need them. After some years it is easily possible that paper notes get mixed up or that one is not sure about a certain character)
- To test the written down phrase immediately after creating and writing down a new one.…

Proton QR Code Generator
I have been researching QR code generators. What I have been looking for is a bit "anti Proton philosophy", but this is exactly why this might be an idea for you.
It would be nice to have a QR code generator service that allows for some simple analytics which do NOT break privacy (if that's even possible). Of course, it must be based on a zero knowledge structure so that even Proton can't access the data.
In short: It would be cool to have analytics without sacrificing privacy (again, if technically possible).Maybe Proton can pull this off with all…

Free-standing contacts app for Android
I would really like to see a Free-standing Android contacts app which would allow contacts (WITH a PIN) to be displayed without opening the PM mail. I use my contacts to track all kinds of information other than email addresses and phone numbers. On my Android phone it is a pain to unlock and open the mail app, then scroll down to contacts to get some information (like an address). A free-standing app, similar to the calendar app, would solve this issue.

Add a function in the settings to automatically add "Request Read Receipt" to email
It would improve convenience to not click "request read receipt" every time you write an email. A function that does that for you automatically would be great.

Adopt WEBCAT for all web-based applications
The whole existence of Proton revolves around a trustworthy, easy-to-use suite of end-to-end encrypted applications. But one thing is to use Proton's digitally signed mobile applications, another is to use Proton's web-based applications.
So I suggest the early adoption of WEBCAT, a Freedom of the Press Foundation project currently in alpha.
From their website (https://webcat.tech/):
"""
The ProblemWebsites can change their code at any time, and HTTPS alone does not guarantee that every user receives the same, intended web application. WEBCAT addresses this by enabling signed delivery and transparency log–backed distribution of participating web applications, allowing end users…

DarkMode on Website/About Pages
Proton has DarkMode on all of its applications/software/websites but not on the homepage, about pages, or download pages and I think it would be a great idea to add DarkMode to them.
