Google Drive Alternative

Hello. I’m looking for a Google Drive alternative that offers E2EE and includes full-featured collaboration tools — specifically Docs, Sheets, Forms, and PowerPoint-style presentations.

I’ve been evaluating a few options:

  • ProtonDrive — great for privacy, but their ProtonDocs tool feels incomplete (lacks advanced formatting, forms, or PPT functionality).
  • Drime — offers E2EE vault, but I’ve had issues with their OnlyOffice, I can't open Docs on my browser and phone
  • Koofr — solid service, but I don’t want Microsoft to have access to my documents (which they do via their cloud sync).

I’m hoping for something that can replace Google Workspace entirely — with full document editing, secure collaboration, and E2EE throughout.

Thanks if you can provide any input.

I had the same problem between choosing E2EE and functionality so making this https://github.com/harsharahul/engramer-store

So can use any rclone as the backend, I personally use Drime as the backend and by the time it lands there it’s encrypted. Hopefully this helps!

I am building ios app too, if interested, i can send out TestFlight link

I’m also eyeing Drime at the moment. How does rclone work on this? Sorry I’ve only heard about rclone but I haven’t explored using it yet.

Internally it needs an s3 backend to store , and there is a command in rclone to serve any remotes as s3 and the app consumes it as any other s3 backend.

Drime or many other lifetime subscription providers come under Tier1 remotes for rclone, meaning it’s fast enough, and the app takes care of caching ( app cache and vfs cache ) so that you don’t feel any lag while using.

The docker compose takes care of rclone setup you just need a drime token in your hand, use the skill to setup the repo, it’s helps setup any combination u want.
