Hey everyone! I need help finding a good cloud storage service that also comes with office applications like word processing and spreadsheets. I want everything in one package instead of using separate services.
I came across Proton Drive recently but found out they don’t have office tools yet. I’m still thinking about it though since I might switch to their email service too. Has anyone here used Proton Drive? What’s your experience with it?
I’m open to other suggestions as well. What cloud storage and office suite combinations do you guys recommend? I’d prefer something that works well together rather than mixing different providers.
Been managing cloud workflows for teams for years and honestly? Traditional solutions don’t scale when you need real automation between storage and office tasks.
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 work fine for basics. But try automatically processing documents, syncing data between apps, or triggering actions based on file changes? You’re stuck with their weak built-in automation or pricey enterprise add-ons.
I’ve seen this countless times. Teams start with these platforms, then realize they need custom workflows. They end up with messy workarounds or paying tons for enterprise features they barely use.
Better approach? Build your own integrated system using automation tools. Connect any cloud storage with any office suite, plus add custom logic that actually fits your workflow.
I built a system that auto-converts uploaded PDFs to editable docs, shares them with specific team members based on content, and tracks changes across multiple platforms. Try that with standard office suites.
Latenode makes this simple. Connect Google Drive with Office 365, or mix Dropbox with Google Sheets - whatever combo works. Plus you get real automation that saves hours of manual work.

totally! google workspace is the best. everything just fits together nicely. i’ve had no issues at all. dropbox is ok, but not as smooth as google. and yeah, proton for privacy is nice, but they need to get those office tools going!
Microsoft 365 is my top pick for cloud storage and office apps. OneDrive syncs perfectly with the Office suite - it’s a cohesive experience. I’ve used it for three years at work and it’s been reliable with tons of features. Proton Drive has great privacy but no office tools, so it won’t work for you. If privacy matters, try Nextcloud with OnlyOffice, but expect a more technical setup.
Made the switch from Dropbox to iCloud two years back - it’s been rock solid. Works great with Pages, Numbers, and Keynote if you’re all-in on Apple stuff. Collaboration got way better than it used to be. But if you’re mostly on Windows, skip it. The web version feels pretty clunky compared to actual apps. For cross-platform stuff, I’d go Google Drive with Workspace instead. Real-time collaboration crushes everything else I’ve used, pricing’s fair, and you get tons of storage plus the office apps.
