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.

FOR LINUX! FEATURES PARITY!

I echo this, but please design it for Linux as well. I also use KDE like a user below, but it should ideally be available for all major, recent iterations of linux

This is literally the one thing I need to divorce myself from Google totally. I need cloud document editing.

Collaborate with libre office or open office teams to incorporate?

Integrating with CryptPad would be a good option.

I'm not sure I'm convinced that this is a direction I'd want to use Proton services for. However, it might be compelling to me if Proton collaborated with CryptPad to provide this functionality. CryptPad is a secure, real time collaborative, online office suite with many good features. It's open source, so the idea of Proton launching a CryptPad instance that is integrated with all the other Proton apps could be useful and would likely bolster that project further. https://cryptpad.org

This is very similar to Dropbox Family Folder. I think both family and professional groups would appreciate at least the ability to have a connected shared folder that all could access with security (read or write) set for each user. As a grander option maybe have folders be allowed to be accessed (per security rule) by and user in the group.

There is already a Deskop App for Proton Drive (Windows). It's inside the web version.

This is critical for Proton Drive to be useful for business. Using links does not give the same utility as sharing complete folders to be used within Proton Drive.

This would allow us to drop the big Cloud sync providers altogether!

and simple text files creation (.txt and .md)

Same for me: this is pretty mandatory functionality to migrate from our current cloud services (OneDrive, Nextcloud self hosted). The lack of this kind of functionality is holding me back to switch to Proton with both my family users, as well as my businesses.

Proton Drive works well as a file repository, but even that can prove cumbersome if you need to view something. We shouldn't have to log into a website to view a file. The desktop apps are obvious delayed, so please just give us a more realistic date when we can finally have this functionality.

not only microsoft formats... open document formats should be prioritised

Agree with everyone, is mega critical feature!!!

Current Tresorit user - would love to consider Proton but your functionality is super basic. Essentially useless to manually sync files. - need reliable auto syncing to devices. macOS, iOS etc.

A Proton drive desktop app is a must, syncing files would be amazing and would sway me closer to using proton apps exclusively

The absolute most critical feature must be desktop sync like, OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, DropBox and just about every other cloud provider supports. I used to use BoxCryptor with OneDrive until BoxCryptor abandoned its customers when it sold out to DropBox and have switched to Proton Drive which is great, but manual download, edit and upload is just such a painful workflow.

I'd also absolutely love to see this feature, with no Linux Drive client you're a bit stuck when sharing files currently.
Say I share a shopping list with a family member, they have a link to that file; if I edit that file there's currently no way (that I've found) to edit the document tied to that link without employing another device, which is a bit of a tedious workflow.

100% agree. The only reason I'm still using Google Docs, despite having an 'Unlimited' Proton plan active, is because I need the Docs feature. Even a simple beta feature with the basic text style and page options would be enough to make the jump from Google to Proton.
