We got proton sheets before desktop Linux apps for mail and drive :(

We got proton sheets before gta6

I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That's all I need.

Proton drive on Linux

I've been wanting a sheets alternative and I really do not like libre office. This is huge

Holy shit, just give me shareable calendars!

well great, now they're just gonna sheet all over the place.

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.

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).

Yes!! I remember submitting feedback about this being a must have feature ages ago. Excited to get it

i mean i still use proton + LibreOffice, sheets isn't a big deal for me.

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).

this ia cool, but when proton tasks and proton notes

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.

Did proton fire Andy yet? Fucking Nazi bootlicker

Why don't they fork Onlyoffice for this?

People are still using Protonmail when there’s Fastmail?

Excited to try this out. Offical drive client for linux is the last thing I really need from my proton subscription.

Why not libreoffice online?

(i pay/donate to both)

...and It doesn't understand open document format

Just in time for me to migrate my budget spreadsheet! Amazing!

I've been excited to try this out but I don't have the functionality yet.

Finally, the last piece to stop using Google Drive

Unusable unfortunately since they don't support anything other than US date format or currency.

I know this won't work the way I want it to. Excel has too many features that other spreadsheet apps just don't. But for many of my simple sheets I'll be glad to give this a go so I can easily access them and do so securely. I'm excited to try it.

I have tried a few sample spreadsheets and am very impressed so far. The only thing I can't access is the charts format editor. I can access selection of series and so on but there is no way to change chart colours - I have tried different browsers, OS and permissions but I only get the one editing tab. Is this not yet implemented (Lumo seems to think that it is) or am I doing something wrong?

Very excited for this. I only use simple spreadsheets so this is probably great for that.

This is amazing and a big step towards being a serious competitor to Google Drive! Keep up the good work!

Next step should be to offer individual inboxes for each e-mail account, instead of everything bundling into one single inbox in Proton Mail.

Most people use spreadsheets built by Big Tech, companies whose business model relies upon monetizing your data. Big Tech may even be a current or future competitor. They design their products to give them access to your information(new window). For example, Google has embedded its AI tool, Gemini, into Sheets. While it looks like a helpful data assistant, Google’s own support page(new window) warns you not to share anything confidential with Gemini since it could be read by reviewers or used to improve its AI. Google makes it hard to know exactly how small businesses’ data will be treated, but it defaults personal data into AI training. It has also left the door open to using companies data to train its AI if they give permission. And since most Big Tech companies are based in the US, they’re subject to weak data protection laws, opening the door to warrantless surveillance.

Yuck Google scanning your important files with AI.

S💔rry, scr🦆w Proton:

1. They support greed-inducing society-eroding pyramid schemes.

2. They're pro Trump: https://fosstodon.org/deck/@Xavier@infosec.exchange/113835722660973690
3. They consolidated their Mastodon account due to a "lack of resources", yet they're staying on GestapoX, yet they've the resources to build spreadsheet software. Bollocks. They consolidated because they couldn't take the heat of not being surrounded by sycophants.

Stop supporting greed-stricken spineless bastards.
