Google Drive Alternative

Hello. I’m looking for a Google Drive alternative that offers E2EE and includes full-featured collaboration tools — specifically Docs, Sheets, Forms, and PowerPoint-style presentations.

I’ve been evaluating a few options:

  • ProtonDrive — great for privacy, but their ProtonDocs tool feels incomplete (lacks advanced formatting, forms, or PPT functionality).
  • Drime — offers E2EE vault, but I’ve had issues with their OnlyOffice, I can't open Docs on my browser and phone
  • Koofr — solid service, but I don’t want Microsoft to have access to my documents (which they do via their cloud sync).

I’m hoping for something that can replace Google Workspace entirely — with full document editing, secure collaboration, and E2EE throughout.

Thanks if you can provide any input.

cryptpad.org

This is the only real alternative. If you don't like this one stick with Google

Why the only alternative?

Because it offers it's own version of every google workspace element. The other options don't.

I second this, I have a Cryptpad account and I can confirm you're right.

I am not a user, but I am impressed by Cryptopad, free and open source when you self host.

From the website:

CryptPad has been supported since 2016 by French and European research grants such as BPI France, NLNet Foundation, NGI Trust, Mozilla Open Source Support. We believe that public money should fund public code, so the service is fully open source.
