I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That’s all I need.
I comment this on many of their LinkedIn posts. I think they’ve blocked me at this point
People still use LinkedIn? I thought it was just ai bots using LinkedIn.
I love these posts on LinkedIn. Tbh I love the similar serious posts too singe they’re so unhinged
I was abducted by pirates and this is what I learned about executive leadership.
You’ve read Caesar’s works too??
Proton drive on Linux
I’ve been wanting a sheets alternative and I really do not like libre office. This is huge
There’s also Collabora Office
isnt that just libre office?
There is also OnlyOffice. They all use the document engine from libreoffice but use a different UI.
I actually like only office but i prefer it to be in browser
It does have a web version.
Onlyoffice uses a different engine. It has much better MS office file support but worse ODF support.
No, its a desktop version of the Collabora Online suite. Its based on LibreOffice, but imo has a much better frontend and is more stable.

Nobody is your friend… but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox… that’s good enough for me…
Check your threat model… 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states… and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (pretty sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)
Stop trying to scare people into going back to gmail… there will always be flaws in proton/tuta/whatever mail service…
Go try running your own email if you truly need perfect privacy and anonymity
100% agree with your take.
Why scare people looking to ditch google with stupid stuff like “but they complied with the government”, bruh google complies with anyone who has their wallet in-hand.
ProtonMail is a free inbox and is privacy friendly. Yes there are other options, but this isn’t a bad one by any means.

What’s about Tuta? Is that good enough as protection?
No. The reasons the user gave against using ProtonMail are applicable to any and all commercial entities providing email service. It’s not even something you could accomplish yourself.
Okay, thanks.
Time to host my own private encrypted email server
Honestly, you should try, if only to learn how many ways they have us by the balls.
No email service can refuse to obey the law. None.
Proton is at least non-profit now.
Holy shit, just give me shareable calendars!
Or searchable email bodies…on my phone. Which is where I’d need it most.
I’ve read “searchable female bodies” and was briefly very confused
That would be nice as well
They have those… Currently limited to the web app
With all these web based office suites popping up, I wonder if anybody needs these? It seems like a solution pushed onto us that nobody asked for. Everybody I know is still using MS Office or Libreoffice and everybody seems to agree that office on mobile devices sucks.
Real-time collaboration is fairly useful, you can have a videocall or meeting while discussing changes to a document and making them together
Fair point. We usually do that with screen sharing. But then only one person can edit.
Yes!! I remember submitting feedback about this being a must have feature ages ago. Excited to get it
Good news! Unfortunately I’m not sold on having to have a bridge to access their email using Thinderbird, so I’m not subscribing Proton Unlimited “suite”. Also no working Linux client for Proton Drive (rclone’s is unmaintained and not working).
It is technically impossible at the moment to keep your emails end-to-end encrypted and not have to use a bridge for your client of choice. It will only be possible if your client of choice partners with Proton to integrate them, or if a standard for e2e encrypted emails pops up and both Proton and your client adopt it.
Wait, you can’t access it via IMAP?
Problem is the e2e encryption. The bridge basically decrypts your emails and makes them locally accessible.
Did proton fire Andy yet? Fucking Nazi bootlicker
Amazing! I don’t even remember seeing this on their road map. Caught me completely by surprise
Does if have FILTER, array formulas, spill zones, MAP, data tables, query engines, SQL engine etc etc?
To compete with Word: Easy. To compete with Excel: Very, very difficult (pretty much only Google Sheets have managed).
90% of users probably just need a glorified table with SUM
In a personal context, agreed. In a business context, I completely disagree. Analysts, finance, operations etc all have much more complex requirements.
Of course. But you have to start somewhere.
Point taken. Thank you for the reminder. I was probably being harsh. Appreciate the feedback.
It’s not competing with word, it’s competing with Google Sheets.
Google Sheets is competing with Excel. Proton Sheets is competing with Google Sheets. So Proton Sheets is competing with Excel.
I used Word as a comparative example to say that parts of the office/docs suite are easy to compete with (there’s only so may things a word processor can do), while others (like Google Sheets or Excel, whichever order you prefer) is incredibly difficult to compete with; a formatting error on import of a Word doc is acceptable. An unsupported formula ruins the entire thing.
They should have forked Onlyoffice, however I appreciate the effort to make their own from scratch.
well great, now they’re just gonna sheet all over the place.
I used to think they would Excel.
You have my Word on that
i mean i still use proton + LibreOffice, sheets isn’t a big deal for me.
I’ve been using open / FOSS versions on Android and desktop for a while. Save those files to Proton Drive. The proton sheets variant needs to compete with those. Initial advantage will be the ability to view docs or spreadsheets natively rather than needing to download. Something Proton has actively NOT done when so many others have found it easy enough.
this ia cool, but when proton tasks and proton notes
pretty sure you can use docs for notes.
They bought Standard Notes, so it’s Protons notes now, in some sense
I see… would be cool if they actually included it in their suite though. Maybe in the future?
https://proton.me/blog/proton-standard-notes-join-forces
In the coming months, we hope to find ways to make Standard Notes more easily accessible to the Proton community
But that post was written 1.5 years ago lol
Proton Glass, please?
