1. Landscape mode for Proton Calendar

   Please add landscape mode for Proton Calendar. For tablet users, this is vital. For a calendar, landscape mode makes it much easier to see all events. In horizontal mode, many events are being squeezed on screen and not shown. It is very annoying having to constantly change the direction of one's tablet, when multitasking between the calendar and other apps.

   Other Proton apps already have horizontal mode and it works great.

3. Package shipment tracker for ProtonMail

   Feature Request: A package shipment tracker that detects tracking information in emails and automatically tracks shipments, sending update notifications to the user through a separate Proton Tracking app, similar to the Shop app (by Shopify). This would send notifications on iOS and Android phones alerting about when a package has shipped, when it has been delivered, when a shipping label was created, etc. And it would provide a map with updates when a package is enroute.

4. Proton Docs - Allow page style formatting ON/OFF

   It is great to have free formatting for note taking, but for document collaboration in the context of a company or even just because some documents have to be printed, it would be crucial to enable ON/OFF page formatting and navigation in Proton Docs. Provide few popular option for page size format (A4, A3, and US equivalent e.g. Letter, etc.) and allow for Portrait or Landscape display.

   Future features this could later enable (not the object of this request):
   * Page numbering.
   * Header/Footer for official company document templates.
   * Enabling a PPT/Slide style formatting in Proton Docs if A3 like style is available.

5. Secure messenger, chat, contacts and calendar on Proton (and Proton Drive)

   Dear Proton Team,

   First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone at Proton for the outstanding services you provide, not only to your community but also to the entire technology world. Over the past several years, I have come to see Proton as one of the most remarkable companies I have ever encountered, operating across multiple fields with a clear and inspiring mission: protecting users' privacy and digital freedom.

   I know the challenges you face are not easy, especially in a world where censorship continues to grow in many different forms. At the same time, I also believe that we, as users and members of your community, can contribute by sharing ideas that may help improve the Proton ecosystem even further.

   For more than seven years, my IT team and I have relied on Proton's secure services while working at the international media organization @canaltx4. Alongside Proton, we have also been using Mega.nz for over ten years in other areas of our infrastructure. Throughout all this time, both platforms have proven to be extremely reliable and trustworthy.

   While using Proton over the years, I noticed that its interface is excellent: intuitive, highly customizable, elegant, and rich in features. However, regarding Proton Drive—which I consider one of the most promising services within the Proton ecosystem—I feel there is one important feature still missing.

   I believe Proton would greatly benefit from offering a secure internal messaging platform, allowing Proton users to add each other as contacts, communicate privately, share folders and files more naturally, and collaborate without relying on external services.

   Whether integrated into Proton Drive or released as a dedicated application, such a service would fit perfectly within Proton's mission. It could include secure one-to-one conversations, group chats, encrypted voice and video calls, and seamless file sharing—all protected by Proton's well-known privacy standards.

   In my opinion, this would significantly strengthen Proton Workspace, making it even more attractive for both personal and business users while allowing collaboration to remain entirely inside the Proton ecosystem.

   Another feature I believe would be valuable is the possibility of setting a profile picture across the Proton ecosystem. Although simple, this would make interactions more personal, visually recognizable, and even more professional for users and teams who choose to use this feature.

   After many years of using Proton's services and experiencing the excellent results they have delivered, I sincerely hope these suggestions may be useful.

   Thank you for everything you have built over the years, and I wish the entire Proton team continued success in your mission.

   Best regards,

   Eduardo Sartoli
   Membro da divisão de TI e IA do @canaltx4

7. Proton TV — Privacy-First Streaming Platform

   I'd like to propose Proton TV — a Netflix-like streaming service built on Proton's privacy-first principles.

   WHAT IT IS:
   A dedicated platform for movies and series that prioritizes user privacy. No tracking, no cookies, no behavioral profiling. Your viewing habits stay private, even from Proton servers.

   HOW TO ACCESS:
   1. Paid Subscription — Standard monthly or yearly plan
   2. Task-Based Free Access — Complete tasks assigned by Proton (security surveys, community feedback, bug reports) to earn 2-3 free movie/stream credits per day

   KEY FEATURES:
   - End-to-end encryption for all viewing data
   - No user tracking or advertising profiling
   - Payment options including Proton Wallet (crypto-friendly)
   - Potential integration with Proton Browser (for unified ecosystem)
   - Family sharing options similar to existing platforms

   WHY THIS MATTERS:
   Major competitors like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max all extensively track viewing behavior, build user profiles, and sell data insights. Proton TV would be the first major streaming platform where privacy comes first.

   Proton has already proven that privacy and mainstream services can coexist successfully (Mail, VPN, Drive, Pass). A streaming platform takes this mission further — showing that entertainment doesn't require surveillance capitalism.

   THE BENEFITS:
   ✓ User freedom — Choose between paying or contributing to improve Proton's ecosystem
   ✓ Privacy protection — Unlike any existing streaming service
   ✓ Community engagement — Turns passive viewers into active contributors
   ✓ Revenue diversification — New income stream beyond traditional subscriptions
   ✓ Fair access — Everyone can enjoy entertainment regardless of budget

   INTEGRATION OPPORTUNITIES:
   Watch content through Proton Browser, pay via Proton Wallet, manage authentication with Proton Pass, and store recordings/saved content in Proton Drive.

   Thank you for considering this vision for the future of Proton! This could become a flagship product demonstrating that ethical streaming is possible.

   Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

9. [Meet] Create Ability to Record Meeting and Save to Proton Drive

   Would love to get more people using Proton Meet with me since it's end to end encrypted versus zoom. However, many people won't make the jump since they require the ability to record and save a meeting i.e. for absent attendees.

10. Allow to download full albums from Proton Drive (Photos)

    I want to download all of my albums from Proton Drive (Photos) web interface to my laptop - but I can't find a way. I need to open each album manually, and click download - which takes a long time. Would be great to be able to checkmark individual albums from the album view, and allow actions like download, delete, etc.

11. Paying users should get an automatic uservoice account

    Users who pay for your service are your primary source of truth for product feedback, and should therefore automatically have access to the uservoice website. It's strange that i had to confirm my proton email to add feedback about the proton product

13. Delete only future events of repeating calendar event

    At present it is possible to delete either "all events" or "this specific event" in a repeating (e.g. weekly) event. I miss very much the option to delete all "future events" in a repeating event in order to keep the history of past events.

14. More advanced mail search

    The current Proton mail search is barely usable, even on web with the advanced search options. iOS app is worse.

    A few features in my mind:

    1. Multi-word search string — e.g. "my order" so every hit must match both words in that order, to avoid getting a lot of false hits that mention both "my" and "order" in different parts of the subject.

    2. Search by subject only — currently I can only search by sender only, or recipient only, but not, but I get lots of false hits if the term I am searching is a common email address. Try search for an email with "gmail" in the subject, and you will just get every mail sent by gmail. Or searching for "best" will yield all emails from "bestbuy.com".

    3. Search by multiple folders – currently I can only search by one folder at a time. Imagine I have a few folders of similar and sometimes overlapping purposes (e.g. bank, tax, insurance) I might have misclassified an ambiguous mail under the wrong folder so I might want to search for all folders when I am desperate.

    4. Search a mailbox tree – currently I can only search mails in a folder, not a folder and all its descendants. Imagine if I have a Bank folder and one subfolder for each bank, I cannot easily search among all bank emails.

    5. Search for mails not belonging to a mailbox (or multiple, or tree) – this is really useful to locate mails (e.g. all from the given sender) not already classified into the folder. Without this and without "select all mails found by the search, not just the first 200 showing on screen" makes it impossible locate mails currently misclassified into a wrong folder.

    The current Proton mail search is barely usable, even on web with the advanced search options. iOS app is worse.

    A few features in my mind:

    1. Multi-word search string — e.g. "my order" so every hit must match both words in that order, to avoid getting a lot of false hits that mention both "my" and "order" in different parts of the subject.

15. Unified Proton eSIM & VoIP Feature

    As a fairly new Proton user (Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN, and Proton Pass), I’m writing to share a feature request that I believe could meaningfully expand Proton’s value proposition for professionals like myself who live and work internationally.

    Proton already powers my email, cloud, VPN, and password management. The next logical step would be to consolidate communication and connectivity tools under the same privacy-first roof.

    🔧 Feature Requests

    1. Proton eSIM with Global or Regional Data Plans
       • Privacy-first, encrypted mobile data with regional bundles (UK/EU, US/Canada, Asia-Pacific) and global roaming options
       • Ideal for digital nomads and remote-first professionals
       • Optional dual-mode (standalone eSIM or fallback to local SIM)

    2. Proton VoIP Number (Regional and Global Availability)
       • Secure, Proton-managed phone numbers (e.g., UK, US, EU) for use in:
       • Business comms
       • SMS/2FA
       • WhatsApp/Signal account setup
       • Proton-to-Proton call encryption and voicemail transcription preferred

    3. Unified Proton Comms Dashboard
       • A consolidated view for:
       • Email
       • Call history
       • Voicemail (with transcription)
       • SMS threads
       • Seamless integration with Proton Calendar and Contact lists

    4. End-to-End Encrypted Voice & SMS
       • Enable Proton-to-Proton encrypted voice/video calls
       • Option for secure peer-to-peer calling with fallback to traditional VoIP
       • Warnings when sending unencrypted SMS or data

    5. Alias-Specific Customisation
       • Custom fonts, signatures, and default behaviours per alias or domain
       • Helpful for users managing multiple businesses or identities under one Proton account

    6. Simplified SMTP Integration & Porting
       • Built-in options for:
       • SMTP setup (for domains managed via Postmark/Fastmail/etc.)
       • Easy port-in or port-out for existing phone numbers
       • Interoperability with existing tools like Devyce or Dialpad

    7. New Proton Global Tier Bundle
       • A premium subscription plan combining:
       • Proton Mail
       • Calendar
       • Drive
       • VPN
       • Pass
       • eSIM + VoIP number
       • Designed specifically for mobile professionals who value privacy, security, and convenience

    ⸻

    Why This Matters

    I split my time between South Africa and the UK, operating fully remotely across highly regulated, global sectors. As a neurodivergent consultant working across time zones, both security-conscious infrastructure and streamlined functionality are critical.

    Professionals like me are piecing together tools like Devyce (for UK VoIP numbers), Postmark (for SMTP relay), Revolut (for global eSIMs), and Proton (for everything else)—but we’d far prefer a unified privacy-first solution. With Proton’s infrastructure, reputation, and mission, you are uniquely positioned to deliver exactly that.

    The global freelancer economy is growing rapidly, and so is the number of privacy-conscious individuals working across borders. I hope you’ll consider this roadmap as a natural evolution of the Proton ecosystem.

    Thank you for considering this feature and for everything you’ve already built. I’m genuinely grateful to have Proton at the heart of my digital infrastructure.

16. Proton Messages

    When I try to replace my texting app with a FOSS version, I lose some of what I would say are critical features, attaching large files, like/reacts to messages, control over notifications. The dealbreaker to me here is the ability to attch large files. But maybe there's also a way to send encrypted messages using SMS/MMS/RCS?

    I'd like a texting app the works over SMS/MMS/RCS and uses proton drive to attach files similar to how Google Messages uses Google Drive to attach files.

    The links would need to be public links since its not sent over secure servers, but you could add similar security enhancements as you do with password sharing: links expire, password protection, and set a number of downloads limit.

    The messages themselves could follow the same protocol.

    It would be nice if I could send an encryption key using Proton Pass that would install on the receiver's device and allow for automatic decrypting of password protected encrypted texts when they click the links from non-proton apps if the key is installed on the device.

    Lower priority: fully customizable notifications, sending/receiving reactions with Google Messages and iPhone users, and E2EE messaging with other Proton Messages users.

17. Page printer view in Docs

    For the love of god. Docs are virtually unusable to professionals in their current form. I will request this ONE tiny thing so it doesn't get declined, but seriously, Docs has a LONG way to go before the masses will join Proton. At the very least, please show us the actual page so we can see how it will print.

18. Proton Meet - HD Video, Stereo Audio, plus pin speaker option

    Proton Meet - HD Video, High Resolution (Original Sound) Stereo Audio, plus pin speaker option

    Please make Proton meet available with the option for HD video (which can also be recorded in HD), and high resolution audio, for sharing music in stereo

    Also the ability to pin a speaker so the recording shows only that speaker

    Essentially, the ability to share and record meetings with good quality video and audio (like with Zoom, which I'd love to stop using, if there is an alternative with these features)

    Thank you!!!

19. Subject: Trust is Broken: Ignoring Customers Who Ask for Honesty

    Hi Proton Team,

    I am writing this as a paying customer (Unlimited + Lumo+) who believes in the mission of Proton. But right now, that belief is being tested by a pattern of behavior that is deeply damaging to the one thing Proton claims to value most: Trust.

    The Pattern of Dismissal Every time a customer asks a simple, honest question—"Where is the server-side open source code?" or "Why doesn't the personalization feature work?"—they are met with silence, deflection, or the implication that they are the ones who misunderstood.

    Customers are treated as if it is their fault for believing:

    The marketing slogans ("All Apps Open Source").
    The mission statements ("Privacy for Everyone").
    The CEO's words and the CERN scientist origins.
    The carefully curated reviews and the promise of Swiss privacy laws.
    

    When a user asks, "Where is the code?", they aren't asking because they know it doesn't exist. They are asking because they hope it does, or they want to understand the reality. Asking a question is not an admission of ignorance; it is an act of trust.

    The Cost of Silence Proton's response to these questions is often to ignore the person asking. To act as if they don't exist. To continue selling "Open Source" without ever clarifying that it is partial.

    This is dangerous.

    One person asking is one person too many. If a company has to hide the truth from even one user, it has failed its mission.
    Trust is the product. Data is just the commodity. Without trust, no one invests, no one subscribes, and the company collapses.
    Hiding behind "Industry Knowledge" is a lie. You cannot claim to serve "everyone" while only speaking the language of "experts."
    

    The Double Standard Proton sued Apple for hiding details and manipulating users. But Proton is doing the exact same thing:

    Apple hides fees in fine print; Proton hides "partial open source" in terms of service.
    Apple sells features that don't work as advertised; Proton sells "Personalization" that is a placebo.
    Apple ignores the average user's confusion; Proton ignores the customer who asks for the code.
    

    The Demand Stop ignoring the questions. Stop treating honest inquiries as if they are attacks.

    Answer the question: "Our server-side code is proprietary. Here is why, and here is how we secure it."
    Admit the limitation: "The personalization feature is currently experimental and may not fully work yet."
    Respect the user: Treat the 90% of non-technical users with the same dignity as the 10% of experts.
    

    If Proton truly believes that "trust" is the most valuable thing on earth, then prove it. Prove it by being honest when it's inconvenient. Prove it by answering the questions you don't want to answer.

    Because right now, the silence is louder than the marketing. And silence kills trust.

20. lumo - access camera / upload photo

    I want to take a photo with my camera directly from Lumo, so it gets uploaded directly to Lumo and not saved to my image gallery.
