- Proton Drive, Docs, Sheets and more are now brought together in Proton Workspace
- The Swiss company has also launched Proton Meet for video conferencing
- Plans start at €12.99 monthly (paid annually)
Proton has continued its privacy-focused offensive with even more secure office software to take on established rivals like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace with the launch of an all-in-one package that puts all its tools in one place.
In addition to launching the aptly named Proton Workspace, the Swiss company is also touting proton Meet, which will offer secure video conferencing.
The company has slowly built up its product offering and has gained traction with VPN, e-mail, password manager and cloud storage solutions. More recently, it’s built Docs, added Sheets, introduced its own Lumo AI chatbot, and more.

Now it seems the time has come for all of this to come together in one unified experience under the Proton Workspace branding.
Company CEO Andy Yen sees Workspace as “the next evolution… to meet the needs of” customers who are “wary of Big Tech’s data practices” who want a “secure, bundled alternative that matches the ease of migration and integration of Google or Microsoft, but without the privacy trade-off.”
While the unification is welcome news, the biggest change is the introduction of Proton Meet, which offers end-to-end encrypted video calls with no log collection and support for anonymous use. Users can even host or join calls without an account.
“In today’s digital world, privacy should not be an optional extra, it should be standard for every conversation,” Yen added.
Proton’s continued expansion comes at an important time, geopolitically. More and more European customers, both in the consumer and business class, are looking for superior and secure alternatives.
Proton criticized the US CLOUD Act, which gives US authorities access to user data from US-based companies. Yen also noted strong demand for Lumo AI as an alternative to ChatGPT and Gemini.
Proton Workspace is sold in two guises: Standard, which includes Mail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, VPN and Pass for €14.99 each. month; and Premium, which includes more storage, email data retention policies, higher Meet participant limits and Lumo AI, for €24.99 per month. Annually paid plans are equivalent to €12.99 and €19.99 per month for Standard and Premium.
There is also a separate Meet Professional plan (€7.99 per month) if the free plan, with support for 50 participants, is not enough.
