About

CryptPad is built to enable collaboration. It synchronizes changes to documents in real time. Because all data is encrypted, the service and its administrators have no way of seeing the content being edited and stored. Store and manage documents with CryptDrive. Create folders, shared folders, and tags to organize documents. Upload and share files (PDFs, photos, video, audio, etc.). Team drives are shared between users and allow for collaborative organization and fine-grained access controls. CryptPad does not profit from user data. This is part of a vision for online services that respect privacy. Unlike the big platforms that pretend to be "free" while making profits from personal information, CryptPad aims to build a sustainable model funded willingly by users. We offer CryptPad's functionality for free because we believe everyone deserves personal privacy, not just people with disposable income.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Everything in one place, easy to use and really happy i tried it. now I have all my documents here. Thanks.
  • Privacy and safety by default. Automatically all data is encrypted, meaning that no one can read your files or data. Not even your preferred Big Tech company (windows/apple/google). You can work or collaborate online without even signing up with any of your credentials. And even without paying a single penny! Very user friendly. No install or signing-up required. Just GO! FREE cloud space (without getting tracked online or showing ads) You gotta LOVE that! PS: you might think these inventions push companies out of the market. The opposite is actually true. Big tech companies buy or simply copy new inventions often made by well-skilled people. They don't stand a chance with the aggressive monopoly-like big tech companies.

Cons

  • Some features need added but its fantastic, i love to have everything in one place.
  • No name, no fame (people might get a bit distracted by an unknown lay-out or even a bit suspicious. The lay-out could be a bit better and the encrypting logo's etc. might scare off a bit. Takes a bit longer to load (because of the automatic encryption). Not in all languages. Yet!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • In Google Docs I like that you have the ability to add things on tho help you with grammar and stuff. I also like how easy it is to use.
  • Google Docs is tightly integrated in the Google Apps ecosystem making it easy to manage, share and backup documents. Google Docs easily handles basic correspondence, document creation and editing. The ability to share and work on a document at the same time is very helpful. The ability to create and save Templates is very helpful for common tasks. Google Docs on Chromebooks is just as usable as on a desktop unlike Office365.
  • - The fact that it is cloud based makes it so much easy to access and edit from anywhere without having to backup so many files.
  • (+) Easy to use and adapt. (+) Powerful recommendation system for layouts and designs. (+) Online collaboration with multiple stakeholders, one can be edit, read access, multiple people can work at a time. (+) One can export the file into desired formats like pdf, doc, text. (+) Autosave of document really helps when there are power cuts or internet outages.
  • I love that it is basically the same thing as Microsoft Word, but it is free, makes documents easily shareable, and saves them to your drive.

Cons

  • The inability to make it dark mode. And also the inability to change background colors.
  • Google Docs does not manage images as well as Microsoft office. This is important when creating documentation and forms with integrated images. Google has made great strides with "Track changes" features, but Microsoft Word has a more robust system for tracking and accepting changes.
  • - The web version of Google Docs has not facility to even create folders etc. for organizing the documents better.
  • (-) Completely dependant on the internet in cases of online collaborations. (-) Sometimes editing becomes too hard because of the online recommendation. (-) Affects productivity in collaborations.
  • I sometimes have issues with the formatting, and when re-opened in another platform it will extend onto a second page, etc.
