# 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…

Please provide a feature like "Take Out" from Google, I constantly make backups of all my data to an offline drive, downloading everything manually is really time consuming.

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.

Allow saving Proton Sheets directly into locally synced Proton Drive folders
Currently, Proton Sheets documents cannot be saved into folders that are locally replicated via Proton Drive. This means any sheet created or edited in Proton Sheets remains cloud-only and is inaccessible from the local file system.
Being able to save a Proton Sheet directly into a synced folder — even as an auto-converted .xlsx — would greatly improve usability and make the ecosystem more practical for professional use.
Thank you for considering this.

Usually some docs get finalized, and edits should not be done more. Can a doc save its status when changed to view only?

Longer expiration data period when sharing a Proton Drive file
Maybe there is some technical obstacle that You do not offer longer link expiry date when sharing a file? It seems to be just a few months maximum, while I would like to set the expiry like 2 years from now. Ideally also ticking option to also delete the file once the period is over.

Invite users to access a folder that was originally shared with you
Make it possible to share a folder/document that was originally shared with you. So if user A invited me to collaborate on a folder, I want to be able to share it with user B. Currently, only the maker of the folder/file can share the folder/file with other users, making teams very dependent on user A. Would be great if we could get this, thanks!

Offline support for documents on iOS
When I have no internet on my iPhone and I open Proton Drive, the spinner keeps going indefinitely even if I have offline documents. Having this flow defeats the purpose of having offline documents in the first place because when I am offline I cannot access them.

Improve update time for filters
In Proton Mail, when adding or modifying a Filter the update time is extremely long. I often need to make an update and then check back in the next day to see if it has worked. I get that it's doing some reindexing or something but these update times are absolutely awful and make working via filters extremely cumbersome.
While we're at it, improvements to the filter add/edit UI would be great. Comparing to GMail, I can type in a search of my inbox and then just "turn this search into a filter" pretty easily. In Proton, I have to…

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.

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…

Bookmarks on phones
Proton should add the ability to bookmark specific folders on Android and iOS devices, similar to the Quick Access feature on Windows. This would allow users to navigate to folders faster and jump between them with ease.

Add visibility for who drive folders are shared with
Currently it's not possible for someone to see which folders in a file tree are shared with whom.
For example if I have the folder structure:Ludlow (shared with Amy)
Documents (shared with Burt)
Important Documents (share with Chris)
It is not possible for me to open the folder "Important documents" and see that it has been shared with Chris, Burt, and Amy, I only see that it has been shared with Chris even though Burt and Amy also have access to it as the parent folders have been shared with them.
I would love functionality that allows the owner…
