Proton just launched a privacy-focused alternative to Google Docs

Proton Docs has been introduced as a privacy-focused alternative to Google Docs within the Proton suite of work tools. It offers features similar to Google Docs, such as comments, collaboration, and real-time editing, but with a focus on privacy and security. Proton Docs is part of Proton Drive, expanding Proton's range of privacy-oriented applications, including email, calendar, and file storage. The document editor ensures end-to-end encryption for all data, including keystrokes and cursor movements. While resembling Google Docs in functionality and appearance, Proton Docs aims to provide a secure environment for users concerned about data privacy. The platform is web-based and optimized for desktop use initially, with plans to expand to other platforms in the future. Proton's commitment to user data protection and privacy distinguishes it from mainstream competitors like Google and Microsoft, appealing to users seeking secure alternatives for document creation and collaboration.
