The only reason for me to store data in the cloud is if I want to collaborate with someone. Please help me de-Google. Thank you.

This is very important for me to, trying to degoogle my life.

I absolutely need open document format support. It's always a hassle on Linux to download a file through the (still only) *web-app*, edit it with LibreOffice, save it somewhere, then upload it again and delete the local file, just to make a "remote" change.

Completely agree on integrating Standard Notes into the Proton suite of products. I am a Notion user, paid because I need more storage capacity than the one offered in the free version, but Notion is quite expensive, and I do not use the collaboration features that Notion offers, I just need a personal wiki to use it as my second brain.
I was not aware of Standard Notes (thanks @Huey for sharing!) so I will start trying it now. Proton team: It will be great if in an eventual future launch of "Proton Notes" you include the feature of importing user content from Notion, Standard Notes and the rest of the main note-taking apps.
Thanks in advance!

If such a thing happens, please, re-use already existing open source projects like Collabora Office, Cryptpad or OnlyOffice and do not reinvent the wheel from the ground up.
That's the spirit of Open source and allows for quicker development.

Invite the community as soon as possible to speed up the development.

I'm considering the switch and want to migrate my skiff drive files... but without a basic word processor I can't.

100% required before I commit to any proton mail services. Collaboration is not particularly important for a first pass at this.

This is the most important product missing from the Proton suite. Having a beautiful and private (but shareable) word processor, and spreadsheet would be game changing.

Seeing all these post combined and with the highest number of upvotes on the whole Proton Uservoice I expect this suggestion is getting some attention and hopefully is going to be a planned feature.

That would be actually a very good idea. I move from Murena.io (/e/OS) because of the lack of encryption. But now I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of interoperability of Proton Services when it comes to share multiple documents on multiple devices and edit them. For exemple, opening an office document in Android, that I started on PC was totally doable with Murena, and a pain even for a txt document with Proton. I'm not worried, Proton services are new and they increase very quickly over the months. The acquisition of a note taking app is exciting for this purpose but I dream to get bigger.

Similar to Google Docs or Microsoft Online Office, only a productivity suite that is private and not read by big tech for AI learning .. A productivity suite that is collaborative and ties in with Proton Drive.
I dont like the idea of Google reading my doc's, but they make the best collaborative doc platform

I've been using cryptpad lately, and would love to see a proton collaboration

Yes, some basic apps need to be integrated with Drive.

Now with the acquisition of Standard Notes I think there is room to expand its features with PowerPoints and Documents. It already has Spreadsheets. Then it would start being an alternative for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (or Googles services). I think that would be a great addition for individuals but of course also businesses.

I personally need an Office program and since I can't sync my documents from MS Office automatically with Proton Drive, this would kill two birds with one stone.

Just commenting to slightly revise -- and name Etherpad as a good open source alternative to Skiff Pages (which I don't actually think ever released their code).

I mean, with the purchase of Standard Notes, Proton could easily do this. Standard Notes has a rich text editor and a (albeit too basic) spreadsheet, so the team likely could make a full encryption syncing (learning Proton's version of encryption) office suite of docs, a full spreadsheet that can actually have lots of rows and other full features, a presentation slides, and a forms (I guess cryptpad does forms too but Proton duplicates things at times anyways like Proton Pass with other password managers out there).

With the recent acquisition of Standard Notes, it seems like Proton has plans to do what was done with SimpleLogin: maintain the original service while also integrating a version of it into the Proton workflow. I speculate that something like "Proton Notes" - built off the Standard Notes code - is on the horizon. And if so, I really hope Proton also pays attention to the open-source code of CryptPad and (the now-defunct) Skiff Pages and makes real-time collaboration possible. This will put Proton Drive on-par with Google Drive - except, of course, it will be E2E encrypted. This would be a game-changer and would definitely attract more users.

I don't share other users' concerns about Standard Notes needing to look more "modern." It honestly looks modern enough to me (especially Standard Notes spreadsheets - the dark mode is great and unique for those). I think more people are looking for a Google Drive alternative than something like Obsidian/LogSeq/Notion; but if Proton does go for building out something in the vain of Obsidian/LogSeq/Notion, I think it should come after building out real-time collaboration - which should be the priority.

I would love a collaboration with CryptPad, a la simplelogin and standard notes. Their encrypted collaboration suite is used a lot in the activism space.

Cooperation between Proton and the Document Foundation (LibreOffice) might be the better option.

I vote not at all, because this is a large additional feature and would unecessarily take away from optimizing existing features. It would be better for Proton to facilitate connecting ProtonDrive to OnlyOffice.

It would be nice to have bi-directional file/folder sharing much like Google drive, where the sharer would add a protonmail members email address to the shared folder which would allow them to add/delete files for collaborations.
