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.

Absolutely agree. To me this would be a critical improvement. I already have an 'Unlimited' plan (which I use it mostly for email and VPN), and love the user interface of Proton Drive. It looks much cleaner and intuitive than Google Docs and One Drive. But the only reason I'm not yet using Proton Drive, despite having a lot of GB available there, is because I need the 'Docs' feature. If Proton Drive includes this, either as a built in function or as a separate 'Proton Docs' app, then I could definitely make the jump from Google Drive to Proton Drive. As leion247 said, I don't need it to have thousands of features and options, just with having the basic text options would be enough for the start.

Desktop Sync is an absolute must. When can we expect this to be available?

An integration with Onlyoffice would be awesome. It works quite well online for document, spreasheet and presentation collaborative editing.

Maybe move this request to the Proton Drive feedback area?

I had this idea too.
That's good. -

In order for Proton services to be useful for me, this ability to create/edit files is very necessary.

I agree. I don't use Proton Drive at all right now because I don't care about syncing files. However, if there was a built-in text editor that would allow me to at least create and edit basic text files it would be very useful. Thanks

When is this feature coming? Desktop Sync. It was on the roadmap for end of 2022 but I've heard nothing. Considering switching back to Microsoft for OneDrive at this rate.
Proton Team - can we PLEASE get an update? You've been silent on it from what I've seen.

I would absolutely love for ProtonDrive to have more features similar to Google Drive. It would be so amazing to have the ability to work on documents live from the drive without having to download them first.

Now that we have a Drive and Calendar alternative, it would be appreciated to have a Proton alternative to Google Docs that allows for the security the company provides. It doesn't have to be as good or have the exact same features, but having a reasonably comparable version would be great for further removing myself and related material from Google services, while maintaining the ability to edit and create from my phone and store on my Proton Drive. Having a similar sharing ability with public links would also be preferred, but understandable if it couldn't be included in an initial version.

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.
