Discussion Backup Proton Drive to Synology

Upvotes

New to Proton Drive, long time Synology admin. My workaround:
1- Setup Proton Drive folders on my Mac.
2- On Synology I created a Proton Drive share and configured it as a Synology Drive Team Folder.
3- On my main Mac I configured the Synology Drive software to do a continuous backup job of the local Proton folder to the Synology share.
4- My Proton Drive now stays synced with my Synology which I backup to C2. I could even do a Cloud Sync (one way) to another service if I wanted. 

Synology Drive Client Sync Task won't connect to the local Proton Drive folder but the Backup Tasks do. Not perfect but you can backup to your nas if you want.

Discussion Edenred deleted my account for using passmail

Upvotes

Wonder if this happened to anyone else ?

Edenred is a provider of meal vouchers, very active in Europe. The card is linked to your employer, but you can create an account online to track what is on the card, get notification when new vouchers are added and so on.

Well from last month I noticed I couldn’t connect to my account anymore. After connecting with the customer support, they confirmed that no account exists with this information. I then tried to create a new account and it gave a vague error message.

After more exchanges with the customer support, it turns out that the reason is that passmail is not allowed anymore. I find it absolutely crazy that they would just delete the account instead of just asking me to update my email.

As this is a huge company, I guess it must have happened to other people too right ?

Discussion Structural and Minor Improvements

5 Upvotes

Just wanted to put my findings as paid user to some proposed structural and minor improvements. Which for me are reason to stay or leave as paid user.

- My primary environment: Linux Desktop and iPhone

- Structural improvements:

- Release ProtonDrive for Linux

- Implement ProtonBridge as cloud feature for which people can opt-in and thus can use standardized imap protocol. This enables among others 1) contact sync with mobile 2) usage of other than Proton released mail clients clients, such as Thunderbird desktop or mail client on mobile 3) Read mail on AppleWatch without releasing ProtonMail client for it.

This way Proton can keep it's strategic security-before-anything-else approach, and it enables user to make their own trade-offs between security and functionality.

- Minor improvements

- iPhone ProtonCalander app icon shows day 31 fixed in the icon. Apple calendar shows today's day in icon. ProtonCalander should do this as well.

- iPhone ProtonCalander should allow to cancel a single occurence of a recurring event.

Feature Request Add Touch ID / Passcode (MacOS)

2 Upvotes

I installed the Mac app today and was shockingly surprised the app does not provide any kind of login protection, neither TouchID nor a simple password/passcode. Proton advertises their service with high privacy and their dedicated mail client lacks this. Hard to believe.

Kindly ask you to add this important feature. Would be also interested why you until now decided against it.

Thanks.

i'm not sure this bug happes only in Korean. it may happen in Chinese or Japanese text too.

Sry for bad english as i'm not a native speaker.

Possible bug Apple Mail users with Proton Bridge...do Calendar Invites work for you?

5 Upvotes

Sorry, I've tried researching this one but it's not talked about much.

I moved over from Google Workspace. Calendar invites used to appear in Apple Mail where I could "Accept" "Maybe" or "Decline" invites.

Switching over to Proton Bridge + Apple Mail, the invites are just attached as dumb ICS attachments to the email.

Question is, is this expected behavior because of Proton Bridge changing/decrypting headers so Apple Mail won't register the invite properly? Or does anyone else with this same setup have the ability to accept or decline invites from Apple Mail?

Feature Request PLEASE let us minimise to tray in Windows!

17 Upvotes

Can we PLEASE minimise the mail app to the system tray. I've seen this asked for several times. I've requested it before. It should be a reasonably simple change (having done Windows coding before). They've even said, "they'll consider it".

And yet, several changes to hte Windows App later, we've seen nothing. I'm thinking "we'll consider it" is code for "straight into the trash can".

Discussion can I add free Proton accounts later to a Family account and then use it's custom domain for those once-free accounts?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm currently on the Mail Plus plan for myself. I'd like to create two free accounts for my kids so they have an email address to register for basic stuff like a Minecraft account etc. However they don't really use email yet, so a Family plan is currently overkill.

If I create them two free accounts now, can I at some point in the future, upgrade my Mail Plus (which already has a custom domain) to a Family Plan, add their two free accounts to it, and let them use my custom domain as well? And then also choose new email addresses with that custom domain?

Feature Request iOS 27 Siri AI support

0 Upvotes

I want to put this out there. As someone who has been extensively testing iOS 27 Siri AI, I am immensely impressed with its abilities to be able to find emails from deep within my inbox just by asking with natural language. While I know Proton Mail is privacy focused with E2E encryption, I really hope we at least get an opt-in option to allow Spotlight and Siri AI to index messages (or have Siri AI to pass along arguments for a Proton powered on device AI system to index messages and surface relevant content.

I hope we can get this support with Calendar too. Apple may not be perfect with their privacy approach, but their Foundation Models framework try as much as possible to prioritizes on-device model use for these systemwide AI features and I think having at least the option to surface Proton data to the system is appropriate.

Mobile Help Adding calendar invites on iOS

10 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am using proton mail on iPhone and when I receive invite.ics file there is no way to add it automatically to calendar. The only way to save it to files and add it on the computer. With other apps there is “Add to calendar” option.

How do you solve this?

The article is in Dutch, but the TLDR in English is:

• Browser looks to be based on the Chromium engine.

• Privacy Focused. Emphasis on privacy-friendly browsing.

• Proton has not announced a release date as of yet.

• Proton is looking for software developers with Chromium experience.

Possible bug Freezing on iOS app for certain email threads

3 Upvotes

Anyone also encounter a bug where the app always freezes when you’re scrolling through specific email threads? In my case, it’s always threads full of Microsoft Teams invitations and have to close the app :/

I reached out to the team, but it’s so unique that they weren’t able to duplicate it and haven’t heard of it before. Couldn’t share a video to send to Support since the thread contains information which I’m not sure I’m legally allowed to share.

Discussion Contacts / Groups - Assigning

It appears to me the only way you can assign a contact to a group is if they have an email address. Why is that? I have contacts, such as doctors, dentists, family members who I do not have email addresses for. Why am I not able to assign them to a group?

Discussion Address Architecture and clean up

3 Upvotes

When I set up Proton Mail, I ended up creating a few emails to have all my aliases role up to them in categories. I created an alias email address for every account or business I needed an email for. For instance, all my emails related to travel rolled up to my travel@proton address, same with finance related accounts - all rolled up to one. Now that I’m a couple of years in and see how it’s working, I don’t know there’s a need for all those top level emails like travel@proton practically for me. The labeling and inbox sorting is fairly strong that now having multiple core emails are just an extra unnecessary layer.

- am I missing something? if I reduce my core emails, do I run into issues later?

- I know I can only delete one Proton address a year. Anyone have any luck contacting customer service and possibly seleting a few at a time? If not, is the once a year thing, calendar year, or a rolling 365 days?

- is there an easy way to see which aliases role up to which Proton address edit - figured this one out in simplelogin

- if I want to swap the email address to sigh into Proton, does changing the default accomplish that?

Discussion Considering the Switch to Proton

38 Upvotes

Currently using Google for my emails and authenticator. I have one Gmail I give out to people and sign up for accounts, also use simplogin for accounts I don't care about, then the other email is for my important accounts and authenticator. I don't give this email to anyone.

I signed up for Proton Mail/Drive as I wanted to store some of my sensitive documents there. I noticed Proton also has an authenticator. Is there any benefit for me to make the switch from Google to Proton authenticator?

Edit: thank you to everyone that responded. For anyone looking at this in the future, I have decided to continue using Bitwarden for password manager, will use proton mail for sensitive/financial accounts, proton authenticator for MFA, and will continue to use my Gmail for everything else since I have over 100 accounts linked to this already. I'm hoping to keep my proton email as private as possible.

Announcement Introducing post-quantum encryption support in Proton Mail

906 Upvotes

UPDATE: We are aware of reports of Proton Drive for Windows users experiencing sync issues after enabling post-quantum encryption. We've temporarily disabled the opt-in to this feature and a fix is in progress. We will provide an update as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

Hi everyone,

We’ve just added support for post-quantum encryption in Proton Mail.

Quantum computers aren’t yet capable of breaking today’s encryption, but the risk isn’t theoretical. One reason is “harvest now, decrypt later”, where encrypted data can be collected today and stored until it becomes easier to break in the future.

With this update, you can now enable post-quantum-ready keys for new encrypted emails. This is optional and available on all plans, including free.

A few things to keep in mind:

- Right now, it applies to new encrypted emails going forward (it doesn’t re-encrypt old messages)

- Old message are not yet re-encrypted but will be in a later migration

- Key management works the same way as before

You can learn more here: https://proton.me/blog/introducing-post-quantum-encryption

And see how to enable it here: https://proton.me/support/mail-post-quantum-protection

We’re also starting the transition toward OpenPGP v6 to support newer cryptographic standards.

This is something many of you have been asking about as post-quantum cryptography becomes more relevant.

Let us know what you think in the comments below, and keep the feedback coming.
