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

  • Google Drive is a pretty good system to be able to improve storage for both personal and business use. The main aspect that I liked about this platform is its connectivity with the Google account, this connectivity and synchronization is very important to be able to maintain a constant storage within this platform, because this synchronization allows you to share files in real time, between the devices that are linked to your Google account. In addition, each of the images, documents or files that you upload from your mobile device, you can see in real time when it is fully uploaded from your computer, this synchronization is immediate and very beneficial for all types of companies. Another thing that I liked about Google Drive is the way in which it allows me to edit all types of documents, without having to download them, in addition, it also allows me to view documents online, without having to download the documents, within my computer, this storage system has an integrated service to be able to view documents online, which is great, since you do not have an application to view documents, you just have to use this cloud service. Another feature that I must highlight is in relation to the prices that this platform handles, the price for hiring more storage space is relatively accessible and very cheap, compared to other cloud storage platforms, I consider that Google Drive has the most affordable prices on the market today, and it is completely secure cloud storage at a price that you will not find anywhere else.
  • It is a secure point of storage and you can block unauthorized access to your files. It has allowed easy sharing of the files , documents and create PDF or cluster your documents for easy access
  • The available space for files storage is limitless. It is affordable costs nothing and very secure in storing both files and documents. Has ability to convert your files into any formats needed either PDFs or any other.
  • Mostly I use Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Forms for my work and it's easy to share and store. Features are very easy to use.
  • Google Drive is one of the better Google apps. I have several device and use it to more files from one device to another. This app has so many important features. Easy to use and user friendly.

Cons

  • There are several things that can be improved within Google Drive, the main feature that I did not like is in relation to its general design, the design as a platform is quite simple and very basic for all users, in addition, there is no type of function or way to modify this design, either to change the colors of it or change the general interface of Google Drive, I would like the user interface to be able to be modified to the user's taste, in this way I will be able to use a cloud service, which allows me to modify the design depending on my comfort. Another thing that I did not like about Google Drive is that this platform forces the user to maintain an active and stable Internet connection. At all times, otherwise you will not be able to access any type of document or image stored within your system, in the cloud, this is quite negative, I would like the platform to save very small copies of each of the stored files, in this way each of those files can be accessed, without needing to maintain an active Internet connection, this would be quite good for users who have a poor Internet connection.
  • When too loaded it may get lagging but it doesn't stop it from functioning so that doesn't sound like a dislike whatsoever.
  • I have not encountered any dislike it's as simple as it looks.
  • I do not find anything that I dislike about Google Drive.
  • A great application became useless. When I upload a file from my device, I open drive on other devices and the file is not there. Sometimes it can't upload a single file or photo and it says it's uploading but never upload.
