Hey everyone, from the team:
Hello everyone,
We’re happy to announce the release of Docs in Proton Drive starting today - an end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor and one of the most requested functionalities from the Proton community.
⏳ Docs in Proton Drive starts rolling out today and will be available to everyone over the next few days. Make sure you’re running the latest versions of the Drive desktop and mobile apps.
We built docs in Proton Drive as a joint project with the team from Standard Notes, who shares our core values around privacy and security.
Like all other Proton services, Docs puts you in control of your data. Your documents are only accessible to you and those you share them with, and even your keystrokes and cursor movements are encrypted.
Now, you can create, edit, and collaborate on documents with your family, friends, or colleagues!
With Docs in Proton Drive, you can:
✍️ create new documents and edit them in the Drive web app
🤝 collaborate on documents asynchronously & in real-time
🙋♀️ see who else is viewing or editing your documents with live cursors and presence indicators
💬 share feedback using comments and replies
↕️ import and edit .txt / .docx and export in other formats like .pdf, .txt, .md, and .html
💻 access your documents securely from anywhere
All documents created with Docs have a maximum size of 50MB and are automatically saved in your current folder on Proton Drive.
A privacy-respecting alternative to Big Tech
Far too often, online productivity suites require you to accept surveillance as a condition of use. Docs is a milestone in our journey to building a better internet where privacy is the default and another important step towards advancing the mission of the non-profit Proton Foundation.
We’re eager to know what you think! Thank you for your continuous support,
Proton Team
Duuuude. This is awesome. But I still can’t edit calendar events on mobile if there’s another participant added. There are many simple things that need attention.
Different teams, different products. One thing doesn’t exclude the other.
I hope this works well! I’m trying to De-google my self, swapped of of gmail to proton mail. However I use a lot of spread sheets for tracking stuff and being able to access those from my desktop, from my phone, where ever via Google Docs was difficult to replace. I look forward to how people feel about this.
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for something like this! It’d be even better if there was a Linux client for Drive.
Does this only include a word like program for creating documents and not something equivalent to Excel or Sheets?
This is great
