Proton Is Launching Encrypted Documents to Take On Google Docs

Proton announced a new capability to create, edit, and collaboratively work on end-to-end encrypted documents within its online storage platform, ensuring only authorized users can access content—even Proton cannot view it. Positioned as a privacy-focused alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft’s offerings, the feature aims to reduce reliance on data-collecting cloud ecosystems by delivering a familiar, user-friendly experience.
