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.

Plain text files is more than enough. Would be great, especially on mobile

Good morning,
I'm a CEO of a small business, and i was very disappointed with proton drive not be able to have a shared space where all collaborators can put documents and modify it.
For me it is a basic feature, for cloud's small businesses.
It is a must have, like google or one drive..
I'm really in need for this feature.
Thank you to put it in priority. -

As others said, it's really critical for business companies to be able to upload files to a specific folder (for example, to a non-private user drive).
At best, we should be able to set write/read access by user, and shared directories (from others users) should be listed and accessible on the left panel of Drive.
Actually, it's one of the major issue my team has with Proton Drive, and we will probably go back to Google Business.
Keep up the good work !

If this was available, I would move my business account over to Proton.
Even if Proton started with one aspect of it, that would be something. Do a rollout of a Writer -> Sheet -> Fancy Slides -> etc

This should also be a feature of a family plan

I'm stunned that drive does not currently support the 2nd point. While we can share a link, we can hardly share files to collaborate working in different locations. This is massive draw back & I really hope Proton is able to take this feedback seriously.

This would be a great feature! Just basic .txt file creation & editing would be a good start.

Just a clone of google keep but privacy friendly would be great. I really need it to be able to quit google entirely

Also I would love to ditch google drive in favour of Proton Drive, but the reason I can't is the slow transfers. I need to share large media files typically larger than 1GB, but no matter how or what device I try it from I can't upload them faster than about 2 or 3 Mbps. Unless that changes then for me it's moot whether I can sync with Proton Drive or not.

Agree, so long as it's not restricted to one type of phone only. I still don't understand why iOS is usually catered to first when there are more than double the number of Android users. Time and again, developers only support iOS at the expense of the larger Android market. I'm in pro audio and it happens all the time there too, they only develop an iPad version of an app simple enough to run perfectly well on cheap Android devices.
So by all means I agree with these features but please don't restrict the app to one mobile OS! -

This would allow me to leave Google completely! Right now, I'm keeping it just so I can use Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

It is very difficult to use proton as a business platform without file sharing.

Working with OnlyOffice to provide this would be cool

I'm considering using Drive for my team but the lack of this feature is what is currently holding us back.
The ability to edit files and have the changes be visible to other users in real time is very important to us. -

Maybe there could even be a Proton alternative to GitHub. That'd be nice.

I vote for a privacy-first, open source, office suite. It does not need to be as powerful as the Microsoft Office tools, but a basic word processor, spreadsheet, and slideshow suite would be all I need, especially since you already provide Drive, Mail Pass, Calendar, and VPN. If I had those tools, I could avoid both Microsoft and Google!

Onlyoffice, CryptPad, and Nextcloud Office are three excellent free and open source projects that would be extremely easy to fork and create a Proton productivity suite!

a good reader would be sufficient. I don't see Proton as a full replacement of all the Google Services. I also don't expect Proton to come up with an alternative for Google Maps or Google Photos

So much this. Not being able to sync what I'm editing but needing to download to edit then upload again to share it really impacts workflow across devices.
Also would be great to see Proton be offered by more devices as a syncing option, I didn't really expect Proton Drive to work with my Freewrite or Supernote enote out of the box but it was still disappointing to not have that option at all, since I can't download the Proton Drive app onto them like I can with my Boox enote, but are rather stuck with their default syncing and/or backup offerings like Google if I want or need to use online syncing instead of usb transfers.
Granted syncing stylus note-taking is probably another thing entirely from syncing typing so I'd probably still need to download things into my enotes native platforms for handwriting and editing things in but it would still be nice to have better sync options in general, and maybe consider enotes syncing options as well in the future please?

This would be remarkable! Proton having same features as google, maybe even better or different in Proton's own way.
