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.

Absolutly required to migrate to proton drive. Use links to share a folder is too limited to collaborate. We needs to access all our folders (our owned, and shared folders) from the app.

Amen. This is absolutely necessary if I'm to upgrade my Drive. Until there is a MacOS client, I'm not going to be able to use Proton Drive for my work.

How about CryptDrive? If you could incorporate CryptDrive into ProtonDrive, it would add the ability to create various files (including markdown, text docs, etc), and would go a long way towards replacement google drive.

I agree. Share drive functionality is a deal-breaker for organisational/business users.

How about grabbing some open source office software and adding it in. Just basic word processor, spreadsheet, presentation. It would be a good option for schools.

The roadmap is encouraging. (https://proton.me/blog/proton-drive-roadmap)
For me migrating off of DropBox & Google is dependent on having MacOS & Windows clients. Looking forward to seeing this deployed. -

We definitely need a Windows integration too...!

Write email > save as Draft (and you could even label it). It could already be a note app if you use it that way.

Ability to update newer file only and automatic file sync is crucial to use the service

A plain text editor would be an awesome start.

2 features: sync keeping files in device and server; move files to server and download on demand (an enhanced version would be keeping a preview file in the device, and when opened, download the actual file)

it is what is called a killer application for the usage of proton drive.

This is essential. If Skiff can do it, then Proton should be able to. (www.skiff.com - see their Pages app)
-
Hilary R. commented
It needs to have the equivalent of Google Docs and Sheets. If Skiff can do it (end-to-end encrypted) then I don't see why Proton can't.

Hilary R. commented
Skiff has had this feature (with privacy-first and end-to-end encryption) for years now. Why hasn't Proton added it yet??

This is really important.

What would be amazing is a note taking app with a mix of Notion and Roam or Obsidian.
Where we take our notes isn't safe. Some of us write thoughts and other things we'd rather not have out there.
Something with a mix of Notion for its databases and pages features, add that to the Roam web notes feature, connecting it to Proton calendar and email is an app that would practically eliminate need for all outside apps.

This would be very cool and I'd love it, but I'm guessing it'd be a MASSIVE development project. I'd be happy just to see a Notes-like app--which looks like it's in the pipeline!
