Proton Launches Proton Docs, a Privacy-Focused Alternative to Google Docs in Proton Drive

Jul 3, 2024, 10:03 AM

Proton has launched a privacy-focused alternative to Google Docs, called Proton Docs, which includes features such as comments and collaboration. This new service is integrated into Proton Drive, the company's freemium end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) cloud storage service. The update enhances Proton's suite of privacy tools, positioning it as a competitor to Google's productivity apps. Proton Docs features a user interface with white pages and formatting similar to Google Docs. Proton's move follows its acquisition of the secure note-taking app Standard Notes in April 2024, as reported by TechCrunch.
