Spreadsheets are the backbone of modern businesses, used to plan budgets, manage inventory, supervise members, and organize proprietary data. This is why Excel and Google Sheets are everywhere, but organizations are increasingly concerned that these tools leave their internal data exposed to surveillance, tracking, and AI training.
That’s why we’re introducing Proton Sheets in Proton Drive, our easy-to-use spreadsheet that lets your team collaborate while keeping control of your data. Proton Sheets is protected by end-to-end encryption, ensuring that no one else, not even Proton, can access your spreadsheet and the information it contains. Whether you’re tracking your home budget or managing a multi-team project, Sheets can help you get the job done. Use built-in formulas to perform analysis, turn raw data into easily understood charts, and collaborate with remote teams knowing your information is safe.
With the addition of Proton Sheets, Proton Drive now offers a clear alternative to Google Drive. You get the same, easy-to-use, collaborative tools you need to get work down, only we offer privacy by default.
Anyone with a Proton Drive account can use Proton Sheets for free.
Once you’re signed in, go to drive.proton.me(新視窗), click New in the top left, and select New sheet to get started.

Your spreadsheets shouldn’t leak your strategy
It’s nearly impossible to run an efficient business today without tracking metrics or project statuses, which means using spreadsheets. However, if someone gains access to those files, they get a window into the inner workings of your organization.
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(新視窗). For example, Google has embedded its AI tool, Gemini, into Sheets. While it looks like a helpful data assistant, Google’s own support page(新視窗) 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.
Your business, your data, and your customers’ data deserve better.
Proton Sheets: Productivity meets privacy
With Sheets, you can easily and securely handle all your business’s essential records and data. It’s the private-by-default alternative to Excel and Google Sheets with end-to-end encryption built in at no extra cost, meaning everything you enter, including metadata like filenames, is secure, private, and can only be accessed with your permission.
Like all Proton services, Sheets is protected by Switzerland’s strict data privacy laws.
If you’ve used a spreadsheet before, Proton Sheets’ intuitive interface will be immediately familiar. It encrypts everything automatically, letting you focus on organizing and managing the data that matters. Whether you’re overseeing logistics, planning projects, or calculating budgets, Sheets makes it simple.

The productivity suite that puts you in control
No one should need to expose their data to use a service. After Proton Docs, a spreadsheet tool was the next piece of the puzzle for a secure workspace. You can now protect your entire workspace, from your email to your calendar, your documents to your spreadsheets. No surveillance. No data harvesting. Just end-to-end encrypted tools built for how you work.
