Proton Launches a Google Docs Rival, Prioritizing Privacy and Security
Supraja
Proton's document editor emphasizes security by using open-source end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the user has the key to read and share their documents.
The new document editor is integrated into Proton Drive and allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on documents in real time, with all actions including keystrokes and cursor movements being encrypted.
Proton's approach ensures that users maintain control over their data, contrasting with Big Tech platforms that may use user data to train AI models or for other purposes.
By default, Proton protects documents with end-to-end encryption, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Proton's location in Switzerland and its strong privacy laws mean that users' documents are better protected from third-party and government surveillance compared to services hosted under US jurisdiction.
