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.

ProtonDrive is a wonderful idea as a new feature to ProtonMail. I would love to have it as a desktop client for Linux.

This is the feature, combined with mail, that the geeks of the world are waiting for. This feature will be a money bomb for Proton.

End to end file sharing with others would be great. Regular encrypted file storage without sharing is available though pCloud at a reasonable price.

Yes. Me too Dan. Instead, i'll stick with G Suite also. =)

This is a nice idea

Yes. This would be a product i want to buy. Also, who has visionary account, to gain storage for free and ProtonMail to offer ProtonDrive with ulimited storage and have a Linux version.

This is exactly what I want. I have weened myself off of Google except Google Drive because it's so dang handy. I'm totally enjoying Protonmail and Proton VPN and would pay good money to have Proton Drive!!!

I like the idea but I shudder to imagine the cost, which I regard as the biggest failing of the mail service. I've been a member since early September 2017 and now in early November 2017 I am already at 266MB of 5GB.

Technically the final goal of the ProtonMail campaign on Indiegogo was make an Encripted File Storage

I concur: even tough solutions exist, nothing has fully convinced me yet: flexibility, ease of use, reasonable pricing... provided the cost is reasonable and the storage space substantial, I would become a paid user immediately: I need something for my small business.
Any update on the project: is it still "planned"? If yes, any idea of a "when"? or has it been dropped?

Encrypted storage for Dokuments, like syncing a Keepass file would make Protonmail awesome as a security service

Good idea. Would like the ability to click on a file and know how many cities it's copied in. (This is the weakest point of all your competition. They pretty much don't tell you.) And then click another button to return the hash on each of those copies. Perhaps the ability to verify all data once per day or once per week would also help. Of course it would all be encrypted before upload, too. (Oh, and beware that file sizes can sometimes imply content, so you might have to randomize that somewhat prior to upload. Uploading the same file twice in a row should create different amounts of traffic and completely different data payloads.) Also, there should be a one-time paid "insurance" option to force the data into readonly mode if for any reason your payment method fails. Google does this for free. Others just delete everything after a few months.

If I could store ideally 500GB - 1TB of files which I can share with others securely, (or even 50GB!) I would take up a visionary contract tomorrow and stop using G Suite. Please do this :)

I would love for this to happen. I have been looking to get rid of G Suite for some time, but I collaborate with music producers across the world, and we share our music productions via folders in a G Suite Drive.
These are solely our own productions but it means we can collaborate across large distances.
If say 500GB-1TB was available for visionary contracts, I would happily take that up now and transfer over from G Suite straight away.

Create an enrypted cloudstoragespace for protonmail users to save their files and other valuable data. You could co-operate with envaultcorp
