Introducing Docs in Proton Drive

Proton has introduced Docs in Proton Drive, a collaborative document editing feature prioritizing privacy. The new end-to-end encrypted Docs allow real-time collaboration, comments, file storage, and secure data handling. This initiative addresses concerns about Big Tech platforms accessing and tracking user data for AI training. Proton's Docs ensure privacy by encrypting even keystrokes and cursor movements. The service is integrated into Proton Drive, offering a unified and secure space for document management. By leveraging open-source encryption and Swiss privacy laws, Proton ensures that only users have access to their data. Docs enable users to write, share, collaborate, and manage documents securely, free from surveillance and data breaches. This privacy-first approach aligns with Proton's mission to provide a secure ecosystem, including email, cloud storage, and calendar services, as an alternative to Big Tech platforms. Proton Drive and Docs cater to various users, from professionals handling sensitive data to individuals seeking privacy in their online activities.

Will be interesting to see what it can and can't do, but this is certainly welcome and came about much faster than I thought it would.
