Today we’re announcing a new end-to-end encrypted, collaborative document editor that puts your privacy first. Docs in Proton Drive are built on the same privacy and security principles as all our services, starting with end-to-end encryption. Docs let you collaborate in real time, leave comments, add photos, and store your files securely. Best of all, it’s all private — even keystrokes and cursor movements are encrypted.
Literally the second paragraph of the post (but I’m sure you haven’t read it, since you seem so busy replying to every comment here about how Proton is becoming Microsoft or something).
I agree with your general sentiment here (that such an arrangement is not trustworthy enough for me to feel completely private) but your delivery of said sentiment is really fucking rude, dude.
Even if it’s not secure enough for you or I to feel private, it likely exceeds the security necessary to satisfy most people’s threat models so they can not only feel private but objectively be more private than if they just used Google docs.
incremental or opportunistic privacy improvements are better than none, a fact that has seemed to be lost in elitist privacy circles these days.
Dude, you’ve made your point on virtually every comment on this thread. We get it, you don’t trust them. The world has given all of us every reason not to blindly trust this sort of thing. But I’ve done enough digging that I’M happy with the security, and the fact they’re not feeding my private content to the AI monster.
Please, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, don’t keep spamming EVERYONE with the same 3 points you’ve already made elsewhere.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about ?
You’re not sending your private key to their server without first encrypting it first locally.
Their servers are not doing the E2EE, your client is.
The website front and apps are open source.
Yes they could send you a compromised front if you use it via their website, that’s a compromise you accept, otherwhise you could only use their apps which are open source.
I already answered that.
Yes you can’t trust a website’s content, that’s why they offer apps.
It’s your choice to trust the website which is as secure as they can make it, or you simply use the apps…
That’s not how electron apps works.
When you load a website with your web browser you get served the front and execute it.
When you have an electron app, the front is in the source code of the app, and you decide when to update it so you don’t get served unexpected compromised updates.
As for the paid service : They don’t sell your data and don’t show you ads so they need money, it’s that simple.
Just tried it out with my proton account. Looks great! It’s very simple, but I also like that about it. And of course being private is wonderful.
Simplicity is an underrated feature. I’m really excited to see this come out because I’m becoming a bigger fan of proton every day.
I don’t see anything different… How did you access it?
From what I read it’s being released to users gradually I think?
It’s rolling out slowly. I got access to it yesterday :)

He’s wrong about what he said, too. You do not send Proton your private key.

Ain’t this a website issue? Or is somebody doing it better?
