Proton Docs / collaboration suite
(folders and docs similar to GoogleDocs)
Proton mail needs some collaborative word processor and spreadsheet in a drive where people can securely work on it but only the person who owns the files can keep them and no one can download them or copy them.
Introducing Docs in Proton Drive – collaborative document editing that’s actually private: https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive
With Docs you can:
- Write with privacy — Create and edit documents within Proton Drive, knowing your contents are only accessible to you and those you choose to share with.
- Share and invite anyone — Invite other users to view or edit your documents with a single click.
- Collaborate in real-time — Changes are reflected immediately, ensuring every contributor always sees the most up-to-date version.
- View cursors and presence indicators — See who else is viewing or editing the document, enhancing teamwork and communication.
- Leave comments and replies — Add comments to share feedback without editing the document. Comments are visible to all collaborators, keeping everyone in the loop.
- Import and export with ease — You can upload .docx documents, edit them, and download in various formats like .docx, .txt, .md, and HTML.

@George - do you really care only about yourself? What about Linux users? Did you forgot them? Certainly we need OS support, what people use: GNU/Linux different distros (e.g. AppImage), macOS both x86_64 and ARM64 CPUs, MS Windows - all OSes with autostart in system tray and automatic update features.
Android (including *.apk available without Google Play and Google account, e.g. via F-droid), iOS (also *.ipa available without AppStore and Apple account, some alternatives are https://alternativeto.net/software/app-store/?platform=iphone - kind of free and open-source like F-droid would be appreciated). -

I would drop google all together if proton would add file sync app for win & mac

Sync feature similar to OneDrive and Google Drive would allow me to move all my data across.

The automatic sync is an absolutely essential function from my perspective. As a member of the Swiss academic community, I have experienced this with SwitchDrive, where it works very well. In the "Finder" of my MacBook Pro, I can see the sync status very easily and it makes working with my assistant extremely easy. Would be absolutely a great incentive to use Proton more.

Yes, especially .docx and .xlsx files. The IOS app previews .docx files but the webmail doesn't.

ProtonDocs would be a wonderful addition to all the other products from ProtonMail I already use!

I think its a very good idea, and with this, I would be freed from (almost) all google products completely.

We can start of with a simple rich ext editor that has basic formatting much like whats in the email system. What would be extremely useful is a wikistyle versioning and revision system. Something similar to confluence in Atlassian's Jira

Allow for users who have access to a folder or documents on drive to edit real time and share with other users. Same functionality as google sheets.
Example: Update a timeline(Gantt chart) .XLS in Proton Drive and it updates for everyone else with a notification that there has been changes.

IOS Drive app please!

Feature with much usability!
Would be great to have a doc/exl-like files preview and editing option (espacially for paying users)

Support for NFS would be "the bees knees."

Coming late to the party here, but agree with most below. UI extensions for Windows Explorer, Dolphin on Linux etc would make Drive a no brainer, plus the ability to share with team members (like Dropbox, One Drive etc) would be cream on the cake.

This is a must have for a (decent) functioning drive.
