1. Allow user to directly login to uservoice with their proton account

   It felt a little silly that I was offered options to login immediately with Facebook or Gmail, but not with Proton account. Uservoice should feel like it belongs to the same service ecosystem.

4. bring all proton to nixos

   ubject: Thank you & a request: Bringing the entire Proton ecosystem to Linux (especially NixOS) 🐧Dear Proton Team,First of all, thank you for the amazing ecosystem you are building. Privacy and security are more important than ever, and your services help us stay protected every day.The Linux community deeply appreciates your efforts so far, but I have a big request: we would love to see every single one of your applications officially available on Linux. Having seamless desktop support for your entire suite of privacy tools would make a massive difference for us.In particular, the NixOS community (a rapidly growing Linux distribution known for its stability and declarative configuration) would be incredibly grateful for official support, flatpaks, or native packages for all your software, both now and for any new projects you release in the future.Many of us want to rely entirely on your ecosystem and fully migrate away from less secure alternatives. Full Linux support across all your platforms would be the perfect step forward!Thank you for your time and for everything you do for a free and private internet.Best regards,c

5. Unified data export across all Proton apps

   I've got Mail, Drive, Calendar and Pass now, and pulling my own data out of all of them at once is basically impossible - every app exports its own way, if it exports at all. At my day job I build data pipelines, and one thing that clicked for me was reading through this https://cobit-solutions.com/en/services/data-lake-consulting-services/ on how you land raw data from a bunch of different sources into one place first, then structure it. Something like that under the hood would let Proton give us a single "export everything" that actually works. Right now it feels like each app is its own island. Anyone else hitting this wall?

7. The total revamping of onboarding guidance

   Proton currently fails to guide you as a new user. I've introduced some people into my Visionary plan recently and realized that there's very little comprehensive guidance of switching into the ecosystem. This should be a defined workflow from Proton if they want to market themselves as an ecosystem.

   Here's how you import, sort your emails and set up filters.
   Here's how you import passwords, set up aliases, 2FA and migrate to Proton, while keeping backups so you don't lose data.
   Here's how you can switch to Proton Drive, set things up and here are our suggested workflows.
   This should be a flow that STARTS immediately.

8. And I.D.E. (Independent Developing Enviroment)

   Why not make an IDE. Proton is all about privacy so why not make one. You can easily integrate Lumo into the work space as a chat bot for building app structures, code, etc. You can integrate git repositories that have E2EE encryption as a part of privacy and have the ability to import files from proton drive or save files to the drive

9. A simple zero knowledge peer-to-peer file transfer service

   I believe this technology already exists. My understanding of it might be incorrect or limited as I'm not a developer myself.

   Essentially, when using WebRTC, the transferred data does not need to be saved on a server, but there has to be a relay server to connect the two computers. That means the users themselves carry the cost of storage and data transfer. Copyright infringement or other illegal material would not be an issue either as the service provider is comparable to a phoneline operator.

   Commercial comparables include ToffeeShare (EU) & partially Wormhole (United States). Wormhole saves files smaller than 5 GB for 24 hours in order to enable the ability to pause and resume. ToffeeShare does not save any data, which means the transfer must always be fully completed or it must restart from zero. This can be an issue for large files and unstable connections. Both are closed source, so one has to take their word for it.

   Many FOSS comparables exist, such as Magic Wormhole & croc. These are perfectly functional but don't satisfy an average person's UX expectations.

   Such a service would likely not be a revenue driver, but would make a useful addition to the Proton toolkit.

10. Plain Text Editor

    Support/create a true plain text editor. Opening text/txt files from Proton Drive would open a true plain text editor instead of the Docs rich-text editor. A true plain text editor would provide a lean, efficient tool for all text-only content. I migrated from Apple to Proton because Apple Notes does not support plain text..it is glitchy with slow, bloated rich-text features (same issue with Microsoft SharePoint). A Proton text-only editor would be lean, fast, efficient...it would standout in the marketplace as the only ecosystem with a text-only editor.

11. Zero Reliance on Web/Browser Interface

    Please have full versioned, fully functional (including anything you can do in the online version including settings, mailbox rules, etc: full parity) locally installable programs for all products or that includes multiple products (Mail app that has Drive, Meet and Calendar and a pass/auth/wallet maybe) that is completely usable when offline and will resume any queued emails in outbox or shared files or updated events, etc. once internet service resumes. Not everyone has persistent internet due to things like geographical location or security protocols. Additionally, should be able to configure Drive to be utilised in the programs of choice like one can use NextCloud as a storage/sync option in OnlyOffice for instance and file format portability so whatever is created by users in Proton's native apps can be opened or exported to similar programs of choice or saved to the folder or location of choice. Basically, the only reason someone would need to log into the Proton website is to do something account management related.

15. 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 management and consumption of media, which are stored on the Proton Drive.

    Have 2 options, one to choose to download the media in a compressed quality and the other in the original quality, a solution to avoid excessive storage consumption. And when you are connected to the internet, temporarily download the media in original quality.

    Automatic upload of media, but keeping the original structure of the folder.

    Option to create more than one "General Gallery", to separate media/albums from work and family media, in case you wanted to access media in public and don't want to expose your professional life to other people. Basically don't display certain albums in a "General Gallery", and display and another.

    Choose whether offline media in original or compressed quality can be displayed in other apps or continue only in Proton Photos.

    Choose whether to download the media, or just consume it online via the internet.

    Advanced editing options, with the option to upload a new edited version of the file or as a new file to Drive.

    Proton Cloud:

    A service that basically serves to organize the current and future services of the Proton ecosystem, as all services use the Cloud, there will have to be a way to organize all of them, and it can be integrated into an operating system with IOS with Apple's opening up to the new EU laws against monopoly, thus replacing iCloud, it can also be done on Android or a Custom Rom.

    Integration with a device's operating system, thus managing all device backups.

    Subscription management.

    Monitoring and Management of Proton services.

    Proton Docs:

    Docs has recently been created on the web, it has not yet reached the app stores.

    Rely on other services or maintain identity?

    I know that some will mention Google Photos, Ente Photos or iCloud, but the proposal of each of them is totally different from Proton's proposal.

    Ente Photos is basically an online vault that automatically uploads random media, its proposal is to consume media only online.

    Google Photos is literally the Google Drive that displays only media, the popularity is due to the company's name, promotion by hired digital influencers and advertising, and especially the lack of competition in the Android market.

    iCloud uses two-way sync, which is not designed for backup, so the chances of losing all your media are high. And it's also limited to Apple devices only.

    So after analyzing their proposal, it makes no sense to want to take away the identity of Proton in integration with the operating system, even more so now with the opening of IOS to developers, which will facilitate the addition of advanced and integrated functions to the system, probably the same will happen with Android and other operating systems.

    Not to mention that with the future possibility of escaping the 30% mandatory fees of the app stores, the demand for other Galleries will skyrocket in the market, since the prices of iCloud and Google Photos do not stop increasing, and they will not decrease the 30%. And the number of people looking for privacy has been Increasing dramatically lately.

    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.

16. Integration support for funny emoji stickers for imessage in mobile app

    It would be a great feature if Proton Mail for iOS supported a dedicated picker for funny emoji stickers for imessage. Adding more visual flair to secure emails would improve the user experience significantly.

18. Phone Generated One-Time Codes Instead of Passwords

    Instead of password-protected, when sending an encrypted email or a drive folder, add the recipient's phone number so they receive a one-time access code.

    Currently, using passwords to read encrypted emails or drive links requires sharing the password somehow. Such as sharing it in an email body or via a one-time link from Proton Pass. It'd be great to have an access process that the recipient can complete on their own without having to create new passwords.

    One of the reasons to use Proton is to share sensitive data that isn't frequently moved. A belt and suspenders system in which you can set links to be accessed once, time-limited, and only accessible via a code that the recipient gets on their phone would be great.

    At least in the US, Gmail provides this feature.

19. UX Design Critique: Proton App Icon System

    UX Design Critique: Proton App Icon System

    Overall assessment

    This icon set fails the core job of an app launcher: enabling fast, pre-attentive recognition. A user opening this switcher cannot identify apps without reading labels. That's a fundamental usability failure, not a stylistic preference.

    1. Color hierarchy is broken
       Eight of ten icons sit in the same purple-blue-pink gradient family. Color is the fastest channel in visual perception — processed pre-attentively in roughly 200ms, before shape recognition kicks in. By collapsing eight apps into one hue family, Proton has eliminated its strongest recognition signal.
       The two exceptions (Docs blue, Sheets green) prove the cost of the choice: they're the only icons your eye locks onto immediately. Everything else requires conscious search.
       This isn't a brand-cohesion win. It's brand-cohesion over usability — and the trade is bad, because users interact with the launcher hundreds of times per week and see the marketing lineup once.

    2. Shape language lacks distinctiveness
       Strong icon systems use silhouette as the second recognition channel after color. Proton's silhouettes collide:

    Calendar and Drive — both rounded squares with a folded corner. Same proportions, same gradient direction. At 24-32px they're functionally identical.
    Pass and VPN — both minimal downward-pointing geometric primitives (rhombus, triangle). Different shapes technically, same visual weight and reading.
    Mail and Meet — both have a folded/peaked top edge silhouette. In a quick scan they cluster.

    When color fails and silhouette overlaps, there is no fallback. The user is forced into label-reading, which is the slowest recognition mode available.

    1. Glyphs are semantically empty This is the deepest problem. App icons should encode function in shape:

    Envelope → mail
    Folder → file storage
    Key/lock → passwords
    Shield/globe → VPN
    Card stack → wallet
    Date grid → calendar

    Proton gets two right (Mail's envelope, Drive's folder). The rest are abstract:

    Pass is a rotated square. It has no relationship to passwords, vaults, keys, or credentials. A new user cannot infer the function from the icon.
    VPN is a downward triangle — closer to a play button than a shield, tunnel, or network symbol. No functional signal.
    Calendar's meaning comes entirely from the "31" badge. Strip the badge and the silhouette is just a folded square — same as Drive.
    Wallet is an abstract blob with a coin. The coin carries the meaning; the container shape doesn't.
    Meet is a folded purple shape. No video, no camera, no people, no conversation cue.
    Lumo is a cat. Cute, but unrelated to AI assistance — purely a mascot, no functional signal.

    Proton has built a system where the gradient is the message and the shape is decoration. This is inverted. In functional iconography, shape carries meaning and color is the brand layer applied on top. The current system has a strong brand layer with no functional layer underneath, which is why every icon feels interchangeable.
    4. Inconsistent visual treatment
    The set isn't even internally consistent in approach:

    Calendar is a 3D-perspective mockup with a date badge — a literal app screenshot rendered as an icon.
    Docs and Sheets are flat, document-style glyphs with implied paper texture.
    VPN, Pass are flat geometric primitives.
    Mail, Drive, Meet, Wallet are gradient-on-flat-shape compositions.
    Lumo is an illustrated character.

    Five different visual treatments across ten icons. The set doesn't read as a designed family — it reads as artwork accumulated over time without a unifying system. Compare to Apple's macOS or Microsoft 365: every icon in those suites follows a single, declared visual language.
    5. The "New" badges expose the deeper issue
    Three icons carry "New" badges (Sheets, Lumo, Meet). The badges are doing recognition work the icons themselves should be doing. If users could identify apps by their icons, they wouldn't need badges to find the new ones — the unfamiliar shape would be the signal.
    What a fix looks like

    Assign each app a dominant hue. Keep the gradient style; vary the base color. Mail purple, Calendar blue, Drive magenta, VPN green, Pass orange, Wallet gold, Meet teal, Lumo violet. Same family, distinguishable at 16px.
    Redraw the abstract glyphs to carry function. Pass → key or vault. VPN → shield or globe. Calendar → actual date grid, not a folded square. Meet → camera or speech bubble.
    Pick one visual treatment and apply it everywhere. Either flat geometric, or document-style with implied depth, or illustrated. Not all three. Lumo's illustrated cat is particularly out of place.
    Audit silhouette differentiation explicitly. Lay all icons out at 16px in monochrome. If any two are confusable in that test, redesign them.

    Bottom line
    The Proton icon set has strong individual aesthetic execution and weak system-level design thinking. The gradients are well-crafted; the system they sit inside doesn't function. This is fixable — Docs and Sheets show the design team has the capability — but it requires accepting that brand cohesion was over-prioritized at the expense of recognition, and rebalancing the system accordingly.
    Worth doing before adding the eleventh app to the suite, because each new icon added to the current system makes the recognition problem incrementally worse.

    UX Design Critique: Proton App Icon System

    Overall assessment

    This icon set fails the core job of an app launcher: enabling fast, pre-attentive recognition. A user opening this switcher cannot identify apps without reading labels. That's a fundamental usability failure, not a stylistic preference.

    1. Color hierarchy is broken
       Eight of ten icons sit in the same purple-blue-pink gradient family. Color is the fastest channel in visual perception — processed pre-attentively in roughly 200ms, before shape recognition kicks in. By collapsing eight apps into one hue family, Proton has eliminated its strongest recognition signal.
       The two exceptions (Docs blue, Sheets green)… more

20. Create a filter option in the sender pop-up menu

    Add an option to the pop-up menu when clicking on the sender's e-mail address in the e-mail panel.

    Currently we have:

    New Message
    Create new contact
    Messages from this sender
    Block messages from this sender

    Simple QoL feature that would help with filter creation tremendously.
