How can we improve Proton Drive?

← Proton Drive

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.

    Please consider offering a hyper secure Cloud so.

    I support this idea. Recently I decided to change Syncwerk(old seafile) for my cloud service provider. Since there are very limited trustable option I decided to use Mega(hey at least I like Kim Dotcom, he is a lovable person). But if Protonmail were to open cloud storage service, I would switch in a heartbeat.

    I don't understand why many users of ProtnMail are suggesting products which will only open the company up to hacks.

    Firstly, there are several really good encrypted based online/cloud/storage drives available to users which offer client and cross-platform compatibility.

    Secondly, can you imagine the cost Proton will set them at if they did have such a service, I don't think they'll be able to compete.

    To give you one perfect example of a similar minded company which let go of its service. GoldenFrog which I'm sure you aware of also offers a VPN service and they also at one point for a number of years offered a secure storage service as well which was quite good but they deprecated a couple of years ago probably because not all of their many VPN customers appreciated it and they're weren't just many customers globally in general.

    Developing/engineering a storage service would probably break the team.

    here are some good alternative to GMails based product:

    https://spideroak.com/

    https://tresorit.com/

    https://mega.nz/ (requires a bit more investigation)

    If ProtonMail did create such a service I think it would looks something like this, it doesn't particularly match the others above -
    https://www.egnyte.com/corp/plans_pricing.html

    If the team really did contemplate this though I'd strongly suggest getting advice from GoldenFrog as to why they deprecated DumpTruck which is what they called their service, perhaps you could even purchase their code from them if you were still insistent on engineering such a service.

    It's not and urgent problem to solve, Tresorit is a trustworthy company that already provides cloud storage and as far as I know it is very secure.

    I would welcome hosting services from ProtonMail as well. In the meantime you can safely switch to Yandex Drive which offers pretty much the same environment as Google drive and is secure enough.

    Hi Bob, during their last DDos hack it was sort of evident that the hackers couldn't gain access to the mailbox so I don't see any real advantage to have this feature.

    Great for that particular software but maybe not for email.

    This would be perfect! Encrypted Proton Drive with a separate IOS and android application so we can have a safe place to store all our stuff!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be best if ProtonDrive was built on top of blockchain technologies similar to storj.io or filecoin.io. Some other user mentioned https://sia.tech as well.

    Wow! Just yesterday, this only had 700-something votes, and now it's more than doubled! I gave it one more vote (that's three from me).

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Report

    Proton Drive would be awesome. It would fit in so well with ProtonMail and ProtonVPN.

  • Roberto commented  ·   ·  Report

    Or integrating Protonmail with Tresorit (as a backend through an API)

  • AB commented  ·   ·  Report

    I wish I could use all 10 of my votes on this. I want to stop using all Google services, Drive is the only one I have yet to find a replacement for. Sharing files can come later as an enhancement, I just need somewhere to store some files online. Thank you ProtonMail team!

    A very good Idea
    E2EE for cloud ☁️ backup and storage coupled with the ability to send large email attachments

  • Tim commented  ·   ·  Report

    Let's close the triangle of Proton services by adding ProtonDrive in 2018!

  • Riccardo commented  ·   ·  Report

    +3 . now i am stucked with gdrive for file sharing, but it is a pain. there are other reasonable options other than gdrive BUT is yet another account for another service. i would really like to have one linked with protonmail, where i can share data with a link.

  • Asher Gordon commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be great. If they integrate it into ProtonMail like Gmail does with Google Drive, then it would be even better! +2 votes.
