    LibreOffice must be installed on your computer/smartphone in order to be able to edit documents, it isn't an online collaboration suite.

    Google's products, including Drive, are designed to harvest your personal data. That involves storing your data in a readable format, which means it can (and is) given away to government surveillance and can be read by successful hackers. Cryptpad encrypts your data, cannot read or give it away.
