Standard Notes was acquired by Proton due to its complementary end-to-end encryption features, which align with Proton's privacy-focused ecosystem of services5. This acquisition allows Proton to offer a secure note-taking app to its users, while Standard Notes gains access to Proton's resources and expertise.
Proton Docs offers features such as real-time collaborative editing, rich text options, multimedia support, end-to-end encryption for documents, keystrokes, and cursor movements, secure image embedding, and integration with multiple formats, including Microsoft's .docx. It also provides features like comments, presence indicators, and unique cursors for collaboration.
Proton Docs ensures user privacy by employing end-to-end encryption on all documents, keystrokes, and cursor movements in real time. This means that only the sender and receiver can access the content, and Proton, as the provider, cannot access user data. Additionally, Proton promises to never sell or use user data, providing a privacy-focused alternative to other document editing and collaboration platforms.
