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.
Proton now has Docs:
https://proton.me/drive/docs
And Sheets:
https://proton.me/drive/sheets

Why Should I?
commented
Ditto. I had a sudden need for a collaboration feature in ProtonDrive. At this time the feature doesn't exist in Proton, so I'm passing over an upgrade to the ProtonDrive account in favor of a cloud service that does offer the collaboration function.
The feature request remains unfulfilled since the December 2016, despite the number of votes 3X more than the next runner-up. Which I take to imply that it's not possible within the current Proton security framework. Else the feature would have been implemented ages ago.

Proton Drive is great except for this BIG exception. I would leave all my Google Drive accounts if this feature to edit, etc spreadsheets whether in word or excel were available here.
PLEASE GET THIS FEATURE added to proton drive!

Cloud writer and spreadsheet software linked to proton drive. Could be a reimplementation of something like libreoffice or if there’s already an open source cloud based word processing software, repurpose the code from there.

I don t think we are talking here of having a suite like google docs. It is a more general request for any type of file.This works for we on windows with the proton drive app. However, i need badly this feature on Android. Must have. Deal breaker

Full office suit is not an urgent feature, at least a plain text editor (maybe with markdown support) would be super nice.

It would be amazing to have a freemium cloud suite with spreadsheets, documents, and slideshows with security and encryption. Google and Microsoft are the only big players in this game, and even then the free plan is web-only. I propose that it be both desktop and web for Flatpak (multi-distro support, less work), Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. It should also integrate with proton mail, as a share button, and save to your proton drive.

Share folders and files between multiple proton users of group members. Work all in the same folder, just as SharePoint/MSTeams. More collaborating instead of sharing as it is now.

This is very important to me since this works really convenient with Google Docs and it would be great if Proton will have this feature.

This would be an amazing addition to Proton. Its the one piece still missing for me, after migrating from gmail. I am still searching for a good alternative to google docs. Proton Docs / Office suite please! ***

A buit-in online Office would be great. Editing, storing, sending right inside the browser – ah, and previewing, too.

Looking forward to when this hopefully comes to fruition! A Proton Docs Suite would easily convert many Google users worried about their data.

The rate-limiting factor now to use Google Workspace apps for small businesses is the number of emails a user can write daily or monthly. For shoestring budget startups these tools are essential in order to avoid spending on more specific tools, but the bottleneck for growth is email volume and deliverability. This is Google's extortion scheme. Build out the apps ecosystem more and we will all FINALLY have a viable alternative for all-purpose small business functions.

Proton Documents on Proton Drive, where the owner can assign various permissions to other Proton Users, like: Edit, or Comment (this I consider optional) or merely view.
And then it should have the option to view the documents for anyone with the link.Proton Sheets should follow.

this is a huge need. I don't want to be using Microsoft or Google docs. I want my docs to be private. This would give a reason to store a lot of files on proton drive.

The applications and features are growing but the lack of document creation/editing are holding me back from a full suite solution. I need a openoffice equivalent file editor to really leverage Drive.

I hope Proton Drive can be on par with Dropbox in terms of functionality.
I hope Proton Drive can be used in sync on any device, just like Dropbox, and support file editing on the device.
In addition, I also appreciate that Proton Drive can open .zip and preview files on iPhone devices, and the PDF opening screen is very clean.

An office alternative to Google or Microsoft that would allow opening Spreadsheets and Docs from all platforms especially mobile when using Proton Drive.

Without a web doc and sheet editor functionality, no one migrates their company from Google's or Microsoft's workspace to Proton!
We use only web document and spreadsheet editors to work with documents on company drives. That saves us from troubles when people use different OS, laptops and editors. That type of feature is what companies in all sizes look for, but in your case, you have one huge advantage: you have also security and privacy layer. Please add docs and spreadsheet online editors and collaboration feature as soon as possible.
Good luck guys with the Proton platform, and keep it's going even more secure!
p.s. If you need a helping hand with that, let me know. I have been architects of cloud products of all sizes, also with very specific security needs.

This would be a game changer, should be merged with https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/17516125-proton-docs-which-would-be-similar-to-googledocs, right?
