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.

There should be a way to drop large files into someone's account. I suggest that there would be a "Google Drive" like service with collaboration; each file would count towards the user's storage limit, but each file would be encrypted with a random key (probably AES - 256) which would be shared to other users accounts when the owner wants to collaborate through a specially marked PGP message, keeping everything end-to-end encrypted. I don't know how to secure unlisted files (most likely used for secure images); maybe a hash table, that gets accessed and decrypted client-side.
Generally, a file storage system will make Proton Mail much more enjoyable. -

I would love a open-source cloud storage with end to end encryption, just like ProtonMail is. So far, I have been putting files into a 7z file and then emailing them to myself, but 500mb (free) is too small for large files, like video files.
Also, in case you didn't know by now, Mozilla now owns Pocket and it is open-source now.

Yes, there's Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft Cloud, Mega.NZ, Tresorit, Box.com, and others. Every ProtonMail Premium account would benefit by having its own encrypted file storage with one special nuance: Make sure it is lightning fast and capable of loading extremely content rich files (graphics, photos, alternative text) along with encryption.

I would go so far as to have a stripped down version of a word processing even if it is a simple text based, sure I want a word processing that is very similar to Microsoft Word or Google Doc, but even if it is just a text-based system I will work around it.

I would really enjoy it if ProtonMail have a version like that of Google Drive where I can create and edit my documents, so that I can continue to work regardless where I'm in the world. This is why I'm still heavly relient on Google mainly for the Drive. The two biggest things are the Google Doc and Google Spreadsheet, I want to leave Google for good but I don't really have any options that compare to Google Drive. Thanks! I love the service

The cloud exists for one reason only. To give someone else access to your data. DON'T create a cloud. Instead, create a heavily encrypted sync service. This will be much cheaper to host. In fact it might not even require hosting. It could all be peer to peer. It would also be easy to develop as open source variants of current such ideas already exist.

Google drive is unbeatable for convenience but it's a horrible place to store sensitive info like bank account spreadsheet, finalcial documents, soft copies of official documents etc. Even if I have nothing to hide, I don't want my fundamental papers to be scanned by them to use in advertising purposes.
The idea is great. Even if starts with a paltry 2gb free space or only for the paid users( which I'm not), this might be a new heaven for our documents that matter

I am considering killing my Google account...but I need ProtonDrive first...that can be compartmentalism do to store pics documents...I don't mind not having music & video support & we need the corresponding ProtonDocs & PPics that would be fantastic.I would do with an initial 20-50Gb start anything after that you buy...please also give us the option of having a paid up account not only for a brief period cause when you think of providing life accounts some of us won't be financially sound...so we need a protracted offer that most of us can hop on as & when we can!Thank you in advance !

I currently save some key documents as email attachments which I sent to myself. This is a bit clumsy, especially with ProtonMail's rather weak Folder/Labels archiving features (I refer e.g. the current unavailability of sub-folders/Labels).
A dropbox-like encrypted service would be awsome.
Emails and documents go hand in hand. it would be great to host them under the same secured roof together with calendaring and contacts info.
What you have delivered so far in a rather short period of time is truly great ... but your outstanding achievements have whet our appetites for many additional features!
I foresee that, in a few years, ProtonBundle [whatever name you give to your bundled services] will be one of the most sought-after cloud service on the net.
With deep thanks.

It would be a very nice feature, and imho really an addition to the premium account.

Gaw that would be cool. If that ever happens then i think it should be based on Nextcloud. If it does not materialize i'm fine running my own private Nextcloud instance.

Symmetrically encrypted emails to non-proton users expire. After the expiration, I will not be able to reference the content of those emails.
I need to be able to use an API to fetch and store these emails into my own cryptsetup encrypted drive so that I can still reference the emails in the future while keeping them air-gapped and secure.
