From the team: --------------- Hey everyone, As our progress towards the roadmap we recently reminded you of continues, we’re glad to announce that Proton Pass item file attachments are now possible across all item types. Important information, such as backup codes for your logins, can now easily be stored in any format, such as PDF, JPEG, PNG, or even a .txt file! There is also the option to upload multiple files to one item. As you may know, cloud storage space has become somewhat of a commodity in our digital era, meaning we can only offer this functionality to our paying users. Here are the paid plans that will get access to this feature starting today: * Pass Plus * Pass Family * Proton Pass Professional * Proton Unlimited * Proton Visionary * Proton Family * Proton Duo **You can upload any file up to 100MB per file, with a total of 10-500GB in storage space for attachments, depending on your plan.** We hope the addition of this new feature will greatly improve your experience with Proton Pass, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on it! If you have any questions, such as what the storage limit is, you can learn more here: https://proton.me/support/pass-file-attachments Feel free to let us know your thoughts and questions below! Stay safe, Proton Team

By choosing Proton, you're taking a stand for privacy—not just for yourself but also for your loved ones. We'd love to hear your thoughts! The Proton Team

With the recent update (v4.1.11), it keeps on forgetting the credentials after I close the app. When I open it, it asks for the credentials. Is it a feature or a known bug?

For example cryptocurrency wallet seed phrase. One can add it to the notes field (password field is occupied by my wallet password). I can also add new field of type "hidden" to the login entry, where i need to click eye icon in order to reveal the content. Beside login items, there are also Notes items, which does not seems to feature hidden field. I assume that in terms of security all field types (password, note) and all entries (login, note) are equally secured. But the field which is not password or a hidden note of the login item, are more vulnerable due to someone look behind your back or due to a computer client-side scanning (spyware third party or built in OS made to screenshot ones screen)? What is your suggestion on storage of a super-sensitive data like crypto. wallet seeds?

Hello, I have photos on Proton Drive that I want to move to Proton photos. What can I do?

I'm just mostly commenting to vent frustration with what I'm seeing this past week as a sharp spike in captchas and sites straight up blocking Proton VPN IPs. Proton is slowed down, captcha'd and blocked at a far higher rate than any such behavior I encountered with Nord when I used them. You can do all you want to protect privacy but when you hold yourself out as the big "privacy" VPN service everyone's gonna be suspicious that you're gonna be the service that bad actors use and block all your traffic. I know I should also figure this will happen but I would also figure there would be more effort to prevent it from happening. I use Proton VPN because I enjoy Proton's other services but if this keeps up I feel it may get to be unusable for me.

This used to work but this weekend I noticed it was no longer working. I subscribe to a streaming service outside my country, it's in south america. I used to turn on the VPN on my desktop (EndeavourOS), connect to a country in south america, do the same on the TV and I'd Chromecast the video. No problems, excelent quality, worked great. This no longer works. When the TV is connected to ProtonVPN, it doesn't show in chromecast devices list. As soon as I disconnect it, it shows up. Things I tried: - Updating the ProtonVPN app on both TV and desktop - Updating the TV firmware - Changed from Wireguard to OpenVPN - Enabled split tunneling on the TV and whitelisted chromecast - Connecting to the exact same server - Several countries - My android phone can find the TV but nothing happens when I select it - Toggled settings such as Moderate NAT, IPV6 and Port forwarding, nothing works. Chromecasting works fine if I disconnect the VPN on the TV but I can't watch the streaming service. Any ideas? Thanks.

No rage, just confusion as I'm sure it's something I did wrong. I try out Proton Pass (web browser) for the first time and generate an alias, and then a password. And I remember adding a couple of notes to it. But I opened it up the next day, and the alias is still there, but the other info is gone. Nothing in the history, nor in the generated passwords.Looks like it was last modified at its creation, so I would guess that it never saved the info. Did I miss a button click or am I missing something?

I'm using Pop!_OS 20.04. Until now I've been using wireguard conf files that I set up manually with nmcli and that works fine, but I though I'd give the linux app a try, mainly to be able to quickly switch servers without needing to download a new conf file each time. My issue is I have to set the wireguard connection MTU to 1400 on my network. With the default value of 1420, connections are always timing out and I can't get any site loaded on Firefox. Now, I can run `ip link set` from terminal and change it after the app creates the `proton0` interface, and that's a workaround, but is there some way to change the MTU parameter for all connections?

Title. Is that possible? I have proton vpn setup at the network layer at home so there is no need for the app on my phone or laptop to be connected when at home. However I would like it to auto connect when I connect outside of my house. As anyone done this before? This would specifically be for android and windows devices if that matters.

It now shows events for upcoming days, not just the current day.

Does anyone know if you can use Proton Calendar with the MacOS Calendar app? I thought we could use the bridge for that. But it seems that bridge is only for mail. I’m using Google Calendar for work and I’m trying to create one overview of both calendars. Was hoping MacOS Calendar app would be the solution.

I've decided to leave Proton after being a user since 2017. Today, I migrated all my services to my new domain, marking the end of my time with Proton. The recent political noise and price point were no longer justifiable for me. It was a good experience while it lasted. Thanks for the fishes 🐟 🐠

Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

> We're consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit Please tell us that you're not moving away from Lemmy/Mbin too. There's a gigantic tonedeafness to asking your supporters to use centralized social media at this specific time that's hard to accept you're not realizing. (quote from Proton's mastodon.social account _info_ - there wasn't even a post made about it)

Proton Drive has decided to duplicate about a thousand files on me. It has also decided to stop syncing properly. Not sure what the issue is but it's broken. I've restarted it, reinstalled it, restarted my computer (Mac). It keeps saying that it synced X minutes ago but it's very evident that there are files present on the web version that are not on my computer. There should be no reason for these files to be missing. And there's files my Finder says "this file doesn't exist" even though it does. So, I'm in the process of (1) deleting the duplicates and (2) downloading all my files from Proton Drive on the web. If I decide I still want to use Proton Drive after this disaster, what's the best way to remove the app and the directory from my computer in order to start over again - ideally by syncing the files from the web to my computer.

Currently moving my partner and I from Google to the Proton Duo plan. Mail import and forwarding is great, the calendar is decent (we only miss the month overview widget on Android), the missing Linux Drive client is a pain (I tried to mount a subfolder with rclone and am now getting 429-ed (rate limited). Some unsolved usecases we have are on mobile: - We use Google Keeps to share lists and take notes, and would like a mobile, non-Google, syncing notes app with a widget.Rsync is OK, we don't need it to constantly synchronize, daily is enough. - We use Google Sheets on mobile to track things like board games and cat weight. Any ideas for a syncing mobile-friendly sheets app? I've tried Standard Notes but it doesn't seem to have an Android widget. Cryptpad UI is too cluttered on mobile. Any ideas? EDIT: Thank you for all the quality replies!! So far I've found Collabora Office to have an amazing Mobile UI. Unfortunately I can't edit files in Proton Drive in another app on Android, and manually downloading and uploading sucks. So I'll need to figure something out for sync. In terms of notes: Standard Notes, Joplin and the Obsidian apps I found have no included widget. NotallyX does, and the styling feels a lot like Keep. There is a separate ObsidianToDoWidget app but it hasn't seen any update in 2 years. Dark Note looks nice but looks like it isn't open source. So for now I'll go with NotallyX for the note widget. Both Collabora Office and NotallyX will need an external app for sync so I'll check SyncThing For Android now.

A complaint I've had for a while is that the Proton Mail bridge auto starts with the ProtonMail Bridge configuration window open. If you're like me, _everytime_ you restart your computer, Proton Mail Bridge jumps up in your face and you immediately close it. TIL (today I learned), there's a flag you can pass on the command line "--no-window" that starts the app without opening a window. If you edit your system startup entry (this varies by operating system) and add this flag to its command line arguments, Proton Mail Bridge will still start, however, it will start to the tray and no window will appear. As an example on KDE Linux: 1. Search for "Autostart" 2. Press the "See Properties" button on the Proton Mail Bridge Autostart entry 3. Go to the "Application" tab 4. Add "--no-window" to the "Arguments" text box (it should be an empty text box, if it's not make sure there's a space between any existing arguments, e.g., "--foo" -> "--foo --no-window" _not_ "--foo" -> "--foo--no-window") 5. Press "OK" and the next time you reboot your computer, Proton Mail should auto start in the background to the tray.

I've seen this posted a couple of times in comments, it seems like a reasonable investigation in to the recent shit storm I usually actively avoid engaging in anything to do with US politics as it's pointless getting depressed by an awful situation I have zero control over; this post is not about fueling arguments or making us all feel worse, just determining if a useful tech company has gone to shit (TL;DR: probably not).

After many improvements to Proton Wallet during the last year and positive feedback from the community, we are opening Proton Wallet to the world so that everyone can enjoy financial freedom and sovereignty.

Are you interested in a Proton Drive backup location in Home Assistant's new built-in backup tool?

I want context is he agree with something so bad? Also, as a non-american why would I care until Proton product is good?

Hey all, I’m thinking of moving my whole family over to Proton Family, mostly for the combination of multiple email accounts for our custom domain and shared storage. But I have some considerations, currently we have a single account from another storage provider where we all ~~sync~~ upload photos to different folders. I then have a sync to PC so I always have a local backup of everything, both in case anything happens to the provider and also if I want to switch provider everything is already exported. My question is, is it possible to have something similar with proton? Can the proton client sync both files and photos to PC? I’ve tried reading up but it’s not clear to me. Thanks in advance edited for clarity

> The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.

Hey everyone, Eight years ago, we wrote about Trump taking control of the NSA, but since then, the US surveillance state has greatly expanded its scope. Because of this, we’re providing a comprehensive update on how government agencies, law enforcement, and corporations infringe on your data privacy and how you can take actions to protect yourself online. Originally designed to target foreign nationals, Section 702 has a “backdoor” that allows intelligence agencies to collect data on Americans who communicate with individuals abroad—often without a warrant. If Big Tech has your data, the government might too - location data, browsing history, financial details, even biometrics. This data can be accessed via Section 702 requests or National Security Letters (NSLs), which don’t require court approval and often include gag orders. Agencies like the FBI also tap into these databases for warrantless searches, and technologies like facial recognition and geofencing have been used to monitor protestors and other groups. Where does Trump stand on all of this? It's hard to say because he has given conflicting messages, but Section 702 comes up for renewal in 2026 in the middle of his term, and we will be closely watching that. **For more details, you can find our analysis here: ** https://proton.me/blog/trump-controls-nsa-fbi Stay safe, The Proton Team

>>It is not Trump’s fault >>It is tempting to blame all this on Trump, but that is taking the easy way out. All Trump does is put a new face on the existing privacy problem, so now it concerns a segment of the population that previously didn’t care as much. Proton Mail users have always come from both the left and right side of the political spectrum. Today, we are seeing an influx of liberal users, but Proton Mail has also long been popular with the political right, who were truly worried about big government spying, and the Obama administration having access to their communications. Now the tables have turned. >>**The same terror the political right has experienced is now being felt in liberal bubbles such as Silicon Valley for the first time.** The left is correct to be terrified of a Trump-led NSA snooping on their communications, especially since Silicon Valley giants like Google and Facebook can be forced to spy on users on behalf of Trump’s NSA. However, this precedent was not set by Trump – he hasn’t even taken office yet. The first major incident of a US tech giant being complicit in US government spying actually took place in 2015 under the Obama administration(new window). Can someone remind me about the terror campaigns we had against the political right before Trump was elected?

[Original post by u/Proton_Team on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i2nz9v/on_politics_and_proton_a_message_from_andy/), reposting here so everyone is in the loop on updates. >Hi all, last night, a post from last year from my personal X account suddenly became a topic of discussion here on Reddit. I want to share a few thoughts on this to provide clarity to the community on what is Proton's policy on politics going forward. >First, while the X post was not intended to be a political statement, I can understand how it can be interpreted as such, and it therefore should not have been made. While we will not prohibit all employees from expressing personal political opinions publicly, it is something I will personally avoid in the future. I lean left on some issues, and right on other issues, but it doesn't serve our mission to publicly debate this. It should be obvious, but I will say that it is a false equivalence to say that agreeing with Republicans on one specific issue (antitrust enforcement to protect small companies) is equal to endorsing the entire Republican party platform. >Second, officially Proton must always be politically neutral, and while we may share facts and analysis, our policy going forward will be to share no opinions of a political nature. The line between facts, analysis, and opinions can be blurry at times, but we will seek to better clarify this over time through your feedback and input. >The exception to these rules is on the topics of privacy, security, and freedom. These are necessarily political topics, where influencing public policy to defend these values, often requires engaging politically. >The operations of Proton have always reflected our neutrality. For example, recently we refused pressure to deplatform both Palestinian student groups and Zionist student groups, not because we necessarily agreed with their views, but because we believe more strongly in their right to have their own views. >It is also a legal guarantee under Swiss law, which explicitly prohibits us from assisting foreign governments or agencies, and allows us no discretion to show favoritism as Swiss law and Swiss courts have the final say. >The promise we make is that no matter your politics, you will always be welcome at Proton (subject of course to adherence to our terms and conditions). When it comes to defending your right to privacy, Proton will show no favoritism or bias, and will unconditionally defend it irrespective of the opinions you may hold. >This is because both Proton as a company, and Proton as a community, is highly diverse, with people that hold a wide range of opinions and perspectives. It's important that we not lose sight of nuance. Agreeing/disagreeing with somebody on one point, rarely means you agree/disagree with them on every other point. >I would like to believe that as a community there is more that unites us than divides us, and that privacy and freedom are universal values that we can all agree upon. This continues to be the mission of the non-profit Proton Foundation, and we will strive to carry it out as neutrally as possible. >Going forward, I will be posting via [u/andy1011000](https://www.reddit.com/user/andy1011000/). Thank you for your feedback and inputs so far, and we look forward to continuing the conversation.

Just opening discussion, haha! I mean if non-proton conversation isn't allowed, I'm just comparing, haha lol! Okay seriously though. The three services I'm exploring are: * Email (with email aliases) * VPN * Cloud Storage

If I have photos backed up to Proton Drive, is there any good pipeline to search for a photo based on it's GPS meta data? I hear rsync works with Proton Drive so, assuming it works for the photo backups, that may be a good starting point to get the photos locally so I can use other software.

I am on a quest to substitute my phone default apps with something more privacy and security oriented ones. One of such apps I plan to substitute is the "Contacts" one, and I see no Proton app exists solely for this purpose. I know I can see my contacts details within the email app, but it seems not to be the way it should be, as it adds clicks for the contacts to be shown, where a single click on an specific contacts app is way more useable ant intuitive. Are plans to make such app on the roadmap?

I just switched over from Gmail, but I find myself missing Google's default email filters for "promotions", "forums", "social" and the like. What have you all done to replicate this?

I've just got a msg of unsupported browser when trying to log on Protonmail from Google Chrome. Since Protonmail didn't send warning about Chrome recently, it still appears as working well browsers list from its hep page and Protonmail servers have been down 3 days ago, I'm guessing this may be a bug? Anyone else getting this message?

Been down for a couple hours for me.

Regular user here. I just noticed that none of my browsers on multiple devices can pull up Proton services. Basically I was cut out what appears to be a few minutes ago. Anyone else experiencing this?
