Those looking to break free from Google’s grip received some exciting news from Proton this week. The privacy-focused software company unveiled a new addition to its Proton Drive suite – a shared text editor called Proton Docs. This text editor bears a striking resemblance to Google Docs, allowing multiple users to collaborate on a document in real-time with robust editing tools. However, what sets Proton Docs apart is its end-to-end encryption, ensuring that even cursor movements are securely protected.
Proton proudly claims that Proton Docs is the first “major document editor” to have E2E encryption enabled by default. In a bold move, the company warns users in its announcement blog post that data stored on platforms like Google Drive could potentially be utilized for AI training in the future. While Google currently does not use Docs for AI training, Proton positions itself as a company that will never engage in such practices, setting itself apart from potential privacy concerns.
Despite these claims, Proton Docs is available for free to users who create a Proton Drive account. It’s a step towards ensuring privacy and security in a world where data protection is becoming increasingly important.
