Proton Docs which would be 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.

Excellent ! I personally like your blog and waiting for more articles like this

Skiff has had this feature (with privacy-first and end-to-end encryption) for years now. Why hasn't Proton added it yet??

This would be very cool and I'd love it, but I'm guessing it'd be a MASSIVE development project. I'd be happy just to see a Notes-like app--which looks like it's in the pipeline!

I definitely need more secure spreadsheets than google sheets. the whole set of google docs/sheets would allow me to get off google.

this along with a proton photos equivalent to google photos should be top priority. Two big milestones to achieve.

I would definitely stop using googledocs if you can provide me with an alternative.

I write transgressive fiction which coiuld be considered illegal in my country and Google has a habit of scanning documents and sending them to law enforcement so I've had to completely remove all of my writing off Google Drive/Docs and would like a solution that isn't Microsoft to be able to edit my documents that I can do across computers rather than having a hard file sitting on my hard drive that I have to manually transfer between devices
Would be very helpful to help de-Google if a doc editor was in scope

Implementing an OnlyOffice server (open source) would jump-start you in this space.

If ProtonDocs was a thing (Word processing and spreadsheets at least) I could finally completely dump google.

I would like this too. I think to help make the request less daunting (I.E. an entrie Proton Office suite) I'd like to add to this in suggesting that this functionality work with 3rd party office suites (for example OnlyOffice). That's assuming doing so doesn't break the privacy of the documents or meet a level of acceptable privacy/logging.

+1 !!
I know that many people would love to see some kind of Google Docs solution. Having Proton create its own suite might be too much to ask for now, but I think it wouldn't be hard for now to just integrate Proton Drive to the options already given by ONLYOFFICE cloud.
Many of us are just trying to deGoogle or deMicrosoft, and a collaboration office suite is almost a must. It's not very convenient to have to download a file, work on it, and then have to reupload it. It's the only reason I am still keeping my Google account.

+1 I just came to this page because I was looking for that. Online editable documents should be standard nowadays!

This is a must-have feature!

YES YES YES!!! This is EXACTLY what I came to this page to request. I've been searching for a google docs alternative for almost a year now!!!! I would be absolutely over the moon if they added docs and spreadsheets !!!

Yes, especially .docx and .xlsx files. The IOS app previews .docx files but the webmail doesn't.

ProtonDocs would be a wonderful addition to all the other products from ProtonMail I already use!
-
Adam Bauernfeind commented
I think its a very good idea, and with this, I would be freed from (almost) all google products completely.

We can start of with a simple rich ext editor that has basic formatting much like whats in the email system. What would be extremely useful is a wikistyle versioning and revision system. Something similar to confluence in Atlassian's Jira

Allow for users who have access to a folder or documents on drive to edit real time and share with other users. Same functionality as google sheets.
Example: Update a timeline(Gantt chart) .XLS in Proton Drive and it updates for everyone else with a notification that there has been changes.
