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

Tuck a simple note-taking app into it, too!

Also... there seems to be a problem with downloading pictures uploaded from my phone in that when I try to then bulk download them from Drive to my PC I have to rename each file as a .jpg before my PC can open them. Don't know what that is about or if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

This is a must have development for me without a doubt. There is much debate on here about devs for Proton but the key ones for me are
Edit docs direct in cloud
Develop the calendar so that the task view can act as a 'to-do' list with being able to mark items as done so that I don't have to use another supplier who I don't trust.
Introduce a password manager. I know there are competing products and I have looked at them but I don't really trust them as there are too many tick boxes saying I have to allow them to track web history etc. This would seem to be an integral fit with Proton's offering of a private web and avoiding hacks and scams etc. too. Suggestions for the best one to use in the meantime though would be greatly appreciated.
I previously thought that a secure browser too was a good idea but frankly firefox does this really well already and it seems a big thing to introduce when there are other features and developments which are more important.
Overall though, Proton must grow and expand its product suite otherwise other organisations will overtake...
Beyond all this there are many other options and ideas but they need to come later. -

I agree! Accessing and working on documents dircetly on ProtonDrive from wherever and from different devices would help a lot! Thanks!

I agree this is absolutely necessary for workign online with teams.
There should be an option to:
1) track who is accessing the document
2) to be able to work on the document on the drive where edits are tracked
3) to not allow the document to be downloaded and only viewedThis would be an absolutely game changer as it would provide the most securest working platform.
Please could this be a priority - from a loyal customer of over 4 years.

I would like the same. And would move our small company emails and drive over to proton.

I think the way to sync would have to be to work in a sort of time capsule (or whatever Windows calls that. "Recovery" I think) thing to the code.
Like, the program looks at the name and the file I.D., or something, and then decides weather or not to upload it. That way the information in the file stays private, but you get...well, syncing. And if you change the file I.D., yeah, it'll upload it again. But when you go changing I.D.s in a sync file, you're asking for trouble.
Is this how all sync apps work? Maybe. No idea. But I think the reason Proton hasn't done syncing yet is because it's still in the Beta, and privacy issues that need to be solved. -

Having come to loathe all the standard privacy invasive options the web has grown up with being able to edit documents in the cloud would be a superlative functionality addition. I think this would sit extremely well within the proton product.

I would like to be able to share folders, not just files through a link. Might FHE or similar cryptographic schemes be on your roadmap to enable this?

I remember hearing that you were thinking about offering cloud service. Any updates of if this will happen? I have been on hold waiting for you to hopefully launch such a service.

That would be wonderful! I really want to switch from one drive and google drive as soon as possible, but proton drive is just such an inconvenience atm. Can't wait for it to get out of beta :)

Came here to make this suggestion. I don't so much care about collaborating with others in documents but I use google drive for stuff like maintaining my CV, if I could do that in proton drive (open edit and save a document) then it's an instant win and I might finally be able to remove myself from yet another google service

Yes cloud backup please . I hardly use the mail/calander service so I need something more than VPN to justify my $ 200 Au a year .

Proton drive need the function to do live edits and save edits on a documents into to the cloud as they are changed
- eg. I use a couple of sheets on google drive to constantly update information through the day -If I use proton mail I have to download the doccument, save it and then re-upload which is too fiddly - I currently have a link on my homescreen to google drive that takes me to the document that I edit and don't even have to click "save changes" I would like to be able to do this on proton drive.
