Actually I would be much happier if Proton just came up with an agreement with CryptPad to deploy CryptPad on Proton’s Infra.
Anyway for now I am sticking with CryptPad.

Hell yeah!!
Precisely my point:
- are those scripts trustworthy
- how many people do even use those
- aren’t there better (dedicated tools) for such things (especially GIS)
The person that fits all those 3 perfectly is not the mainstream audience I’d say. 
@privacy.slouchy more of a realistic use case yes and I thought about it too.
But then, what’s the difference between using GSheets and Airtable or even Notion (or NocoDB, or Baserow etc…) or any kind of simple input → output pipeline like people do with n8n etc?
That’s my point, I don’t see what makes GSheets groundbreaking or unique in comparison to everything else available.
I’m pretty sure the German government doesn’t want to pay random licences or anything.
Tech-savvy-ness wise, it’s cells not assembler code. 
Indeed, but I guess that their stack doesn’t match as well or they just feel like doing their thing because they might achieve better.
Even tho, it’s again…only cells not dark magic. 
I mean, don’t get me wrong I’m happy with Proton’s release.
I just wish people wouldn’t be stuck in GSheets realm while doing basic math that Cryptpad or any OpenOffice suite/alike can achieve.
TBH, recently I am TRYING to work with a bunch of not so random people on a subject, involving some online document collaboration.
They were so used to Google suites, butI have already decommissioned my previous Gmail account and have no desire to open a new one, so I just recommend them to use CryptPad.
I am now struggling just to convince 1 member to try out, because they need to register a new account.
Even the nature of the work is sensitive and some of them have higher threat levels, still, signing up a new account with nothing but username and password, is enough to stop them from trying.
Resistance to change is intense huh?
I guess friction is what keeps people on platforms unfortunately.
And they won’t move until something really bad or annoying happens.
Until then, they might complain but not act upon the nuisance… 
They might regret it one day, you’ll tell them “I told you”. 
I think Drive is the office suite or something.. Based on the website, it looks like they are adding individual ‘products’ one at a time to be a ‘feature’ of Drive.
Look at these web urls too:
notice how the /sheets and /docs webpage exists within the /drive directory.
I hope this isn’t the case. I would like an office suite separate from Drive where I can see and manage all the office files, separate from non-office files.
I also don’t see it in my Drive.
