I have to agree, too!
We are a small design agency and we cannot afford our clients bypassing license models by copying the entire file that contains loads of concepts and ideas…

It’s crazy this feature doesn’t exist yet and would be totally needed. Especially only viewers should please not have the permission to duplicate files or if, only if the owner gives them the right to. So, yes, please add this feature!

Seriously. This feature would save loads of headache from a legal standpoint for us designers. I want to share some assets to potentials employees and not have them steal buttloads of work from us.

Our studio very much needs this functionality to offer up some amazing design system work to clients without fear of copyright and license violations. Please add!

Figma! Please separate Copy, Ability to share and Export permissions from Can View users. We lost several contracts because other vendors were able to copy our design and move on internally. This feature is crucial!

So desperately need this!
Can’t stress enough how important is this, especially for Startup companies like us in this cut throat competitive business environment. We work with lots of short-term hired contractors/Freelancers, and just have no way to protect our proprietary designs! Even in 2024? Figma is a great tool but I fail to understand why have they not addresses this basic security issue on priority.
Kindly implement the feature - Team Owners should be able to prevent the Editors/Designers from downloading .fig file or coping sharing any parts of it.

I just ran into a situation where I need this. My client needs flat PNGs to put designs in an investor deck, but I don’t want to give them permission to copy and paste my designs into their own Figma file.
Exporting all the screens on their behalf is not practical because we’re changing the screens every day.
The problem here is that we have developers in the team and we want them to be able to download assets but not copy the file. As a designer, whether internal or external in a company, with one click you have lost all your work, where you have invested a lot of time and sweat
It’s a horror situation right now
It’s just a horror situation, you have no control
@all Everyone vote for it and tell your friends so that Figma finally adds this feature that assets can be downloaded and the file is locked
