Proton has unveiled Proton Sheets, its latest offering in the privacy-focused productivity suite. This new spreadsheet software aims to challenge established players like Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, prioritizing user data security above all else.
Sheets provides end-to-end encryption by default, meaning sensitive information remains inaccessible even to Proton.

The tool supports essential spreadsheet functionalities, including the creation of charts and graphs, formula-driven calculations, and the ability to import and export various file formats.
Available for free to users with a Proton Drive account, which offers 5GB of storage, Sheets is part of Proton's commitment to providing secure alternatives to Big Tech products. Users can collaborate on spreadsheets, with granular control over sharing permissions. This launch further solidifies Proton's ecosystem of privacy-centric services, alongside its Mail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, and VPN offerings.
