Only if they start shutting all their services down if they don’t become the world leader within the first 3 years.

Doesn’t appear you can do anything of that via the Drive mobile app. Maybe one day they will make that possible.

If they can ever get a spreadsheet application I could fully get away from Google for that kind of thing without losing out on anything I care about.

The only open source mentioned in the post is their encryption. Not the document editing software. OP please remove your change to the article title, it’s extremely misleading.

Well, they’re not wrong. It is ‘open-source’, not Free Software.

? It’s not open source, AFAIK.

A lot of people confuse open source with community driven/governed.
If things go awry, you’ll be locked-in, married to Proton.

How do you mean? You’d just export your data.
