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.

Introducing Docs in Proton Drive – collaborative document editing that’s actually private: https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive
With Docs you can:
- Write with privacy — Create and edit documents within Proton Drive, knowing your contents are only accessible to you and those you choose to share with.
- Share and invite anyone — Invite other users to view or edit your documents with a single click.
- Collaborate in real-time — Changes are reflected immediately, ensuring every contributor always sees the most up-to-date version.
- View cursors and presence indicators — See who else is viewing or editing the document, enhancing teamwork and communication.
- Leave comments and replies — Add comments to share feedback without editing the document. Comments are visible to all collaborators, keeping everyone in the loop.
- Import and export with ease — You can upload .docx documents, edit them, and download in various formats like .docx, .txt, .md, and HTML.

Import and export with ease - if possible, include also GDocs from GDrive
looking forward to docs as a first piece to Proton drive puzzle as serious alternative to GDrive or OneDrive

Love the docs! Still can't migrate my spreadsheets from the Big Creepy Brother, but it's a big step forward 👏

Good work on Proton Docs! I am just missing the most important puzle piece for myself. Proton Sheets (Excel/Spreadsheets) I hope this will be added with this later on?

Yeah, Proton Docs is amazing, but as we love improvements on Proton's servicies, here I put some ideas to considere to implement by Proton Team 💜💜💜
- Dark mode on Docs
- Create Forms to share someone as well as G€€gle but with privacy
- Continue improve Docs as introducing SpreadSheet, etc. -

If Proton goes this route, I hope they do so by acquiring and integrating OnlyOffice rather than starting from scratch.

In order to switch to Proton for Business, most companies need integrated collaborative office suite including Chat, including Video, Word, Excel and Powerpoint, as well as Notes.
All applications need to be integrated with Drive, Calendar and Mail apps.
Git integration would be nice as well. -

I frequently use cloud services to backup my files and photos due to limited space on my hard drive, rather than using the synchronization feature, which is becoming outdated and consumes disk space. It would be beneficial if Proton Drive evolved into Proton Cloud, offering an online version with "My Files," similar to OneDrive.

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.

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.
