Personally, I don't edit documents within Drive. I use it for storage and work on a local based version. Those using it for business purposes would likely want more and better editing features (though, I'd suggest using a dedicated office replacement like Collabra online rather than expecting Proton to build out an entire office suite).
That said, it's ridiculous that I cannot **view** a read-only version of my .odt, .ods, .odp documents within drive. This has been a functional feature for cloud storage for decades. I do not work in Microsoft formats, and I don't want to have a save as copy just so I can view it online. This is not a good idea for two reasons: first I would always have to remember to "save as" docx and overwrite that file after I save and am done working on my working .odt copy; second there is a risk I notice something I want to change after I save as docx and make the change not realizing I'm not in my working copy. Creating a third file type of proton docs is just extra terrible, how am I supposed to work on that copy offline? I can't pull it directly out of my file explorer so I have to export (aka download) it as a docx, save it in my files, work on it, and then reconvert it in the web browser to a proton doc?

I'm seconding what Oli said below.
Running out of storage and being harassed to pay or lose access to my email was the first nail in the Google coffin for me. Funny enough, when I took my photos down, ran them through a program to strip out motion, they dropped from 11 GB to 3 so I was actually no where near the storage limit! That said, I had already made the decision to look for email/calendar/storage elsewhere.
In the months that it took me to change so many accounts to a new email address, Gemini went from a pet project to infiltrating every single google application. Messages is a disaster, if I log out (which is technically allowed) I get pestered to log in. If I'm logged in there's a Gemini button directly above the compose button even with Gemini disabled on my phone. They've also replaced the "home" button in maps with a Gemini button screwing up 15+ years of muscle memory on the daily commute.
It was this aggressive push to use Gemini that made me leap from "I want to supplement gmail for important accounts because I'm unwilling to pay an ad company money" to "I'm going to figure out how to root my phone and tablet." Next it was CoPilot that pushed me to finally install Linux.
And while I appreciate that Scribe and Lumo process on device or whatever "doesn't phone home" language Proton is using, my biggest concern is, how were they built in the first place?
Even if you quarantine an LLM and further train it with only your data, by using its base you're still contributing to the massive theft of intellectual property, and invasion of privacy from whatever emails providers, or less than secure business, educational, healthcare systems. Just because my Social Security Number, DOB, credit report, medical history, papers I wrote but did not publish in college and thus should have remained in internal databases, are all available online now due to various data breaches does not make that information public. Just because I wrote a story and posted it on Tumblr and it was later archived by the waybackmachine does not mean I waived copyright. (As for Facebook/Insta, according to Meta's terms and conditions, users assign copyright to Meta for anything they post. I'm not sure how Meta thinks that works when people routinely post stories they didn't write and pictures that someone else took but those are lawsuits for a future day.)
That's not even getting into the skill degradation concerns from using LLMs to think for us.
