Cryptpad is an open source end-to-end encrypted software application that allows users to collaborate on documents, polls, and other project data in real-time. It is designed to protect the confidentiality of collaborative work by providing a secure, private, and anonymous environment. Cryptpad supports text documents, rich text documents, slideshows, polls, and more. Documents are stored on Cryptpad's servers in encrypted form, and collaborators can work on documents together simultaneously with the ability to see who is actively editing. Cryptpad also provides strong security features such as document versioning, password recovery, and two-factor authentication. Cryptpad's encryption protocol is designed to protect the confidentiality of data against malicious actors, even in the event of a data breach.
Google's products, including Drive, are designed to collect your personal data. That means storing your data in a readable format, which means it can (and is) turned over to government surveillance and can be read by successful hackers. Cryptpad encrypts your data, it can't read it or give it away.
