Why Switch from Google Docs?
Google Docs provides convenience but at the cost of privacy, as Google scans document contents for advertising. CryptPad is an end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. No one, not even the server administrators, can read your data. For teams handling sensitive information, CryptPad provides real-time collaboration with true privacy.
