Sometimes yes. But with Meet? No. I was really waiting for this!
I actually appreciate how they balance features and new products. They are becoming more credible MS365/Google Workspace alternatives with every step.
It would be really cool for them to get read/write calendar sharing on Proton Calendar to finally work on iOS. It's a huge pain, but just self-hosting a CalDAV server is still a better solution because I can actually share calendars.

Still waiting for Drive for Linux.
They are hiring specifically for that: https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonDrive/comments/1spx14d/proton...
So much this.

And another +1
I might be an outlier here in caring about this product but I really want Proton Docs to get optimized better, it takes way too long to load.
Google docs may not be private but it takes <1 second to load when I click the browser bookmark, vs 11 seconds to load a Proton document.
11-second load time for a page is a lot of friction in 2026, no matter how secure your product is.
The thing I am interested in proton docs is if it can have API functionality. Proton docs allow anonymous users to write things and I wish if there was an API functionality, then people can use it to create anonymous/(pseudonomous?) comments and hose those comments as a comment engine and many other interesting things like creating forms themselves on it.
I would love to build on proton but Alas the API isn't open source and recently with Proton meet and its controversy, my trust on proton has shifted a bit too which dampened my enthusiasm in all of this.
(To make the API I even used puppeeter instances to do it, and after quite a long time I was able to succeed actually but that's just not scalable)
Maybe that exposes a security vector they aren’t comfortable with yet?
Could it be you’re using Chrome with the offline Docs extension? On Brave and without the extension, Docs isn’t nearly as fast for me — even if Proton remains slow.
I also wish I could afford Proton as a non-pro user…
Agreed. I just need to be able to search my calendar on my phone...
Wanna tell us what are the missing features on their existing products?
For a start, you can't edit docs on mobile. But if you just use it for a while you notice there's a fairly large amount of bugs which need working on. Try entering a couple of dates and using their autofill to extend the sequence... it's pretty comical.
