I think that if you need an ultra-secure vault within Proton Drive, you can already do it through tools like Veracrypt, fscrypt, gnupg and so forth.
A file doubly encrypted by two independent means with unrelated keys - once via (say) gnupg on your own PC and once by Proton Drive - would offer better security than one doubly encrypted by the same organisation. It would mean that an attacker (who might work for Proton, for example) would need access to *both* sets of encryption details, which would be near impossible if each set of encryption keys were entirely unrelated and only both known by the data owner. -

I know that having Proton calendar, mail, contact etc data separate and not integratable with apps from other manufacturers like Google or Apple is inconvenient, but presumably customers choose Proton for its security benefits, and giving other manufacturers access to your Proton data - which is what you'd be doing by integrating it - rather defeats the purpose of buying a secure data service. I suppose a customer should be allowed to waste their own money by undermining the very service they've bought, but there's little reason for this to be a development priority.
Security *is* inconvenient. Cleverer people than me have often pointed out that the biggest security risk is always the human factor, and it's insufficient to rely wholly on a bought-in technical solution - which is what Proton is - to do the job without the relevant human data owner engaging themselves to the problem. -

ProtonMail offers encrypted contacts for both web and mobile applications (https://protonmail.com/blog/encrypted-contacts-manager/). Calendar and note functionality will be released in the future.

I may be misunderstanding this request, but if it's about asking Proton to allow your native Apple or Android mail or calendar apps to synch with your Proton data in the same way that you can already synch your gmail data, then I suspect a point has been missed. You can only synch your Proton mail account (for example) with your iOS mail app by telling your iOS app - and thus, potentially, Apple inc. - how to log into your Proton account. If you're interested enough in your own security to choose Proton, it's difficult to understand why you'd want to do this. One could argue that this is a customer's decision to make, however bad, but it would be a big self-made hole in your own security, and I can see why Proton would want to avoid the future problem of customers complaining about security breaches that they, the customers, had caused.
Proton already offer their own mail and calendar apps, which may need a bit of work to match industry standard functionality, that allow mobile access to your data.

Proton appear to have developed a Drive CLI (dated 10 June 2026, v0.4.3) which could meet this requirement. I've not experimented with it yet, so I have no idea if it's any good.
