Andy did not endorse Trump, just the Republican nominee for antitrust. Nevertheless, we have retracted the statement, which was put out by mistake due to an internal miscommunication. Proton is not controlled by any single person but by the nonprofit Proton Foundation, which has neutrality in its governing principles, and that remains the case today.

Hi there, this is not an AI generated response. We are replying to the comment on attack surfaces, and how our focus is on securing a single Proton account by enabling 2FA and Proton Sentinel rather having to manage security for multiple accounts.

Hi there, the above is not an AI response. We were just sharing that creating privacy focused tools without the backing of big tech takes time and effort. We have a lot planned for 2024 to round out our suite of privacy products, and we're excited for what we can accomplish with the support of the community.

From that perspective, we would prefer to focus efforts on securing the Proton account as much as possible. There are two actions the user can already take.

First, enabling 2FA will take the risk of compromise down to almost zero (our data on compromised accounts supports this also).

Proton Sentinel also helps to protect against account takeovers even when an attacker has stolen your password: https://proton.me/blog/sentinel-high-security-program

Thanks for the feedback! We released a new feature on iOS: a new calendar invite widget now shows the main event info in all emails that contain event invites. Tapping on it takes you to the Proton Calendar app directly from your inbox.

We apologize if the previous message sounds like we don't care. On the contrary, we've communicated with you over other channels and done our best to help.

Our team's top priority is your experience with our services, and we take your feedback very seriously, as it helps us improve daily.

We hope to see you back someday and bury the hatches. If there's anything we can do to change your mind, please don't hesitate to email us directly at community@proton.me

We understand the frustration and we're deeply sorry that you've encountered this issue, especially in such a sensitive situation. The issue has been affecting a very small portion of Android users and as soon as we understood it and were able to reproduce it, we fixed it. The latest Mail Android beta has significant improvements, and this is just the beginning. Additionally, the team has worked on 35+ other features enhancements, all guided by community requests.

The tech debt you've mentioned is sadly real and we have been working on it continuously since then. We appreciate your support and understanding thus far.

Proton Drive - an encrypted cloud storage service from the creators of Proton Mail and VPN - is now available for download on Google Play and the App Store.

In an increasingly mobile-first world, achieving our mission of building a privacy-centric internet means focusing on mobile platforms and allowing secure, private access to your files everywhere and at any time.

This is why the Proton Drive mobile apps have offline access to your files and folders. To save mobile data, the feature is not turned on by default but you can choose which files and folders you can access when offline.These files are saved on your device in an encrypted format so they stay better protected even if you lose your device.

You can also generate file sharing links with one tap, and easily encrypt and backup the files on your mobile device.
