Privacy-focused email and VPN company Proton has unveiled Proton Docs, a privacy-focused document editor that aims to provide users with a secure alternative to Google Docs.
The Verge reports that Proton, the company known for its encrypted email service, has expanded its suite of privacy-centric tools with the launch of Proton Docs. This new offering, which bears a striking resemblance to Google Docs in terms of interface and functionality, is designed to appeal to users who prioritize data privacy and security in their digital workspace.
The introduction of Proton Docs marks a significant step in the company’s evolution from a simple email client to a comprehensive suite of work tools. With this latest addition, Proton now offers a range of services including a calendar, file storage system, and password manager, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to established platforms like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
Proton Docs, which is currently available as part of Proton Drive, boasts an array of features that users have come to expect from modern document editors. These include rich text options, real-time collaborative editing, and multimedia support. While the initial release is optimized for desktop web browsers, Proton has confirmed plans to expand to other platforms in the future.
