# 0105 Search & filter integration + “Topics” sidebar
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Extend the existing search bar to filter by tag and add a permanent “Topics” sidebar that lists all user‑defined tags for quick navigation.
Why it matters:
- Users can instantly locate all items with a given tag without opening multiple folders.
- The sidebar provides a visual overview of the tagging taxonomy, helping non‑technical users discover related content.
- Complements the virtual Topic Map view and encourages consistent tagging practices.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Index encrypted tag metadata locally and perform tag‑filtered search client‑side.
- Add a collapsible “Topics” panel on the…

# 0104 Permission inheritance for Topic Map virtual collections
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Make virtual Topic Maps inherit the most restrictive sharing permissions of the items they contain, with an optional override to set separate permissions for the collection itself.
Why it matters:
- Guarantees that a virtual collection never exposes a file to a broader audience than the file’s original sharing settings.
- Allows teams to create a “read‑only” view of a project while keeping the underlying assets private.
- Aligns with Proton’s zero‑knowledge model – permissions are enforced client‑side.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a Topic Map is rendered, compute the intersection of…

# 0103 Docs/Sheets creation from a Topic Map
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Enable users to create a new Proton Doc or Sheet from within a Topic Map, automatically inheriting the map’s tag(s) and sharing settings.
Why it matters:
- Project documentation stays logically linked to the same set of assets, reducing the chance of orphaned files.
- Teams can spin up meeting notes, design specs, or spreadsheets that are instantly discoverable via the same tag.
- Keeps the workflow inside Drive, avoiding the need to manually copy‑paste links.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Add a “New Doc from Topic” button in the Topic Map view.
- The…

# 0101 Tag‑based grouping. Topic Map based grouping(tags)for files/folders in Proton Drive
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add free‑form tags (Topics or controlled vocabularies such as AAT) that can be attached to any file or folder. Photos included.
Why it matters:
- Most users and certainly the professionals often have assets spread across many project folders; tags let them locate related items without moving files.
- Tags act as lightweight metadata, enabling better project tracking and reporting.
- Proton Mail already uses labels; extending a similar concept to Drive creates a consistent experience across the Proton suite.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- Store tags as encrypted metadata on the…

I'd like to share a photoalbum.
I'm a hobby-photographer and i mainly bought proton drive to share pictures.
The problem is, when uploading pictures as files, i can share them, but i can not view a prewiev on my phone, without having to download them. On the other side, when i upload them as pictures, i can not share them easily with friends. I want to share a link, from which they can view and download the pictures, without having to create an account on proton.This is just stupid and should not be that hard.

Backup macOS Photos to photos on drive
Would be great if the photos and albums in my photos app on my mac are backuped to drive photos. So then iOS phots are backup and macOS photos are backuped (I do not use icloud anymore because I do not trust Apple anymore). In this way I can have all my photos in 1 place.

Make each tab remember and reopen at the last position/scroll location.
Please add a feature where each sheet/tab remembers and restores my last scroll/view position when I switch back to it, rather than resetting to the beginning every time. This would greatly improve my workflow. Thank you.

Share folders and files with admin rights
Currently you can only share files with other email addresses as viewer or editor.
You should be able to share as admin with full rights: sharing, moving, deleting, ...
This goes for folders as well.7 votes -
Spreadsheet: protect cells at cell level. Just like Google Sheets.
Again a feature that I supposed to be standard in a spreadsheet. After all we don't want our customers to mess up the sheet. And they will if they can.

Add Conditional Sync Pause Feature for Proton Drive
I use Proton Drive to back up certain files for a game. However, it causes significant performance issues when the game is running due to constant synchronization. Currently, I have to manually pause the syncing, which requires me to remember to manually sync the files later.
A feature that pauses syncing based on specific conditions would be very helpful. These conditions could include:
- When a window is in full-screen mode
- When certain processes are running (like games)
This feature would benefit not only gamers but also anyone who needs a stable internet connection during critical tasks.

pictures in Proton Sheets
I know it's early, but until Proton office apps allow me to add pictures to sheets, docs, and slides I can't fully switch. Would love to see this added soon!

Folder slider view and browsing improvements in Android app
When browsing multiple files in a folder, I don't see the slider on the right and I don't know how much space is left. Also, when I open a file and then return, I often end up not where I left off. Please fix this, as it's very annoying.

Auto trim Trash item older the XX days
Compared to other Web Drive providers, Proton Drive lacks a feature where items whose 'Deleted Time' exceeds a certain threshold (i.e. 30 days) get automatically deleted by the system.
There are a number of reasons as to why this might be so. One possible reason could be that, due to data encryption on Proton's side, they cannot view certain metadata of the file, such as its 'Deleted Time'. This would then exclude any attempts by the server to perform housekeeping duties.The solution is to move the deletion routine into the user clients instead. All the server has to do…

Be able to edit files using local apps and store back to Protondrive
Would be nice to be able to work with files directly in protondrive (in essence have protondrive as a folder on my computer). So I can open the files and save them back to PD.

Anonymous File uploads
Anonymous file uploads were requested and the post was closed, but the actual request was not executed... The request is for anonymous UPLOAD, with no viewing or editing of files uploaded previously or by other users, not just a drive folder that is open to the world. Although this feature is a nice addition, it doesn't address the root issue. This is an important feature for business and personal use, and is a pretty significant miss not to have. Various other services include it, including Dropbox, Box, Nextcloud, Microsoft, and Google. Although these last 2 are fundamentally different than Proton…

Speed up downloads from Proton Drive using shared links
I've shared a folder that was about 337 MB using a share link. The downloads are abysmally slow at 47.83 KB/s to 185.54 KB/s. Then the download fails at less than a third of the way through.
I'm on a paid plan. Replicated with the person whom I shared the folder. Both of us can't download it.
Both of us are on different high bandwidth fiber internet plans and have no issues with other content.
