https://www.engadget.com/protons-windows-and-macos-mail-app-is-out-of-beta-and-available-now-110010822.html">Proton[/url] now has its own version of Google Docs in its Drive cloud storage service, and like the company's other products, it comes with end-to-end encryption.

https://proton.me/blog/docs-proton-drive">Proton Docs[/url] has advanced formatting and image embed options like Google Docs has and can create, open and edit documents in multiple formats, including Microsoft .docx.</p>

The free tier of Proton Drive includes essential document features so people don't have to pay for the service if they don't want to. Participants will be able to add comments to the document, reply to them and resolve them. And users will see other participants' presence and their cursor placements in real time, so that they know who's working on which part of the document and so that their edits don't clash. </p>
