# 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…

# 0102 Dynamic “Topic Map” collections. Virtual “Topic Map” collections that aggregate tagged items
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Introduce dynamic virtual collections (called “Topic Maps”) that automatically gather all files/folders sharing a given tag, regardless of their physical location.
Why it matters:
- Users can view all assets related to a project or theme in one place without reorganising folders.
- Teams can quickly audit completeness of a deliverable set (e.g., “all assets tagged ‘Game‑Launch‑Q3’”).
- Mirrors the “smart playlist” concept many users already know from music apps.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When a tag is created, generate a virtual folder view that pulls in every item with that…

# 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…

Make indent+outdent buttons visible by default on mobile
As a mobile Proton Drive user taking notes on a book, a podcast, or a lecture, I want to indent and dedent with a single button press so that I can efficiently take hierarchical notes. Proton Drive and Google Docs both have indent/dedent functionality. Google docs shows indent+dedent buttons by default on mobile. Proton Drive hides them in a menu on mobile.

photos.proton.me
As a moving user from Google to Proton and as a android user, I frequently use the photos.google.com to quickly access the google photos web site and get on my computer pictures I took on my smartphone.
Could you please create a entry in your dns photos.proton.me that redirects to https://drive.proton.me/photos .
This little redirect will offer a direct link to user's photos and will bypass 2 heavy clicks...thanks

Proton Drive Upload files while in background
Proton Drive needs to be able to upload files in the background. When I send large number of files to proton drive to upload, I can't dedicate the use of my phone to proton drive. kind of defeats the purpose of a multi-tasking operating system. Frankly, this worked before the first of the year, so I don't know what took a step back proton drive or IOS26. Which ever it is, please get this feature implemented.

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.

Locking files / Hiding files on Proton Drive
I would like Proton Drive to support client-side locked folders that require a secondary authentication step (such as password re-entry, hardware key confirmation, or biometric verification) before file is decrypted when signed in.
This would prevent opportunities for opportunistic individuals to get access to the most sensitive files someone has when their proton drive session is opened.

.Data convert between
348
Hi everyone, I'd like to suggest something, though I don't know if it's technically possible: is there a way to easily convert between Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PDF, LibreOffice (.odt/.ods/.odp), etc. files in Proton Drive?.docx <-> .odt <-> .pdf <-> .docx ....
.xlsx <-> .ods
Best regards, Syrato

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.

Integrate Proton Docs & Sheets into a Proton Office suite app
Instead of these being separate apps, why not integrate them into one app and call it " Proton Office suite ", Similar to how libreoffice is. Have an icon for each app. It could be made into a web wrapper app.

Proton Drive: enable configuration change to default behaviour on file upload
So when I click configure I can choose the theme and not much else. The ability to stop Drive from "helpfully" requesting to delete my existing file version when I upload a later version would be welcome and do a little to help with my blood pressure. I won't hold my breath.

Different rights for subfolders
Hi Team,
Would it be possible to add a feature to a shared by link folder with only view permissions, to include inside a folder with read/write permissions? So others could upload files there?
Also, would it be possible to add a feature to be able to upload an image that will be shown once logged into the shared folder? To personalize it a little?1 vote -
Photo date
Please support photos taken before 1st January, 1970. Currently, these are all bundled together under January 1970 on the iOS Proton Drive app, and cannot be reached at all in a browser. Without this feature, Drive is useless for sharing my father's photos.

Storage analyzer
Google has an option to manage storage, showing the user what is eating most space. Proton Drive needs the same functionality, so that we can manage our storage capacity better.
