The renowned security brand Proton has recently unveiled a new online offering designed to safeguard users’ privacy. Introducing Proton Docs, a cloud-based document editing and sharing platform that aims to provide a secure alternative to popular tools like Google Docs.
Proton Docs: A Secure Solution for Online Document Management
In a recent announcement post, Proton Docs is now available as a dependable document management solution that prioritizes security.
Proton Docs boasts end-to-end encryption and a range of comprehensive document editing and sharing capabilities. Similar to Google Docs, it seamlessly integrates with the secure Proton Drive for document storage.
Users can enjoy a host of collaborative features with Proton Docs, such as real-time editing, comment sharing, image insertion, and secure document storage. Setting itself apart, Proton Docs encrypts users’ keystrokes and cursor movements, enhancing privacy protection.
In addition to the product launch, Proton emphasized the privacy risks associated with mainstream document-sharing platforms like Google Docs and Microsoft 365. These risks include data collection and sharing without user consent, leading to potential privacy breaches and surveillance.
Proton Docs’ robust encryption shields users from such threats by safeguarding data at the keystroke level, ensuring complete privacy and control over shared documents.
Operating on a freemium model like other Proton offerings, Proton Docs provides a 5GB storage capacity for free users, with premium plans offering storage options ranging from 200GB to 3TB. Subscribers also gain access to the full suite of Proton services.
