Thanks for making Proton Docs! Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited? Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful. Thanks again!
@protonprivacy I'm starting to use #ProtonDocs, testing the waters a bit.
Just as ProtonMail and ProtonDrive use the “Carbon” theme, ¿could you take a look to make sure that the theme used in ProtonDocs matches the one we have configured (Settings; Appearance)?
Thnks in adv.
I'm doing a test to replace Google Docs with Proton Docs.
There are fewer features, but it's less cumbersome, and you can collaborate using a simple link without creating an account 👌

For me, this is HUGE!!!
Proton Drive, & Docs now both support sharing files & documents with users who don't have a proton account. Doing so STILL preserves the End-to-End-Encryption. Also, there is a new "Collaborative Folder" feature that allows seamless file-sharing.

Lots of improvements are coming to Proton Docs according to an official blog post. There is however no mention of addressing the two deal-breakers: no offline support and no support for backing up all documents.

(YouTube always cries about ad blockers and 3rd party frontends hurting their business, but then they hurt the business of alt platforms, because they hate competition...)
(For those who have YouTube, Odysee and PeerTube channel, you can still use PeerTube's sync feature to sync videos from Odysee, like I've been doing for a while (I don't have a YouTube channel))
