This marks a private and secure way to create, edit, share, and collaborate on documents without treating privacy as an afterthought. Unlike [Google Drive that scans your files](/blog/does-google-drive-scan-your-files/), DragBin cannot see your data or any contents.This feature is also included with [DragBin for Creators](/creators/) and [DragBin for Business](/business/) to enhance real time collaboration. The launch of encrypted documents in DragBin is another step towards a broader goal of protecting users' data through [zero-knowledge architecture](/zero-knowledge-encryption/) and [post-quantum encryption](/post-quantum-encryption/). Our same [security architecture](/security/) applies to this and everything is client side, end-to-end encrypted, ensuring absolute privacy.Get started with DragBin and enjoy this feature that will be available to all in a matter of a few days.[Try DragBin Free](https://app.dragbin.com/signup) ## Create and Collaborate on Documents Without Compromising Privacy One of our major goals with encrypted documents in DragBin was to offer users a secure way to share and collaborate on files. For this reason, we have implemented all the crucial features which you would get in any mainstream document editor. You can work together in real time, exchange feedback and manage access while keeping utmost privacy.- Create and Edit Documents : Create documents from scratch and work on them without switching multiple platforms - Real-Time Collaboration : Leave comments, highlight messages, share suggestions and edit them together - Access Management : Just like DragBin's [secure link sharing](/features/secure-file-sharing/), you decide who can edit, comment and view the document - Document Import and Export : You can save the document in various formats, be it importing it as docx, saving it as PDF, exporting it as markdown or html among others. - Version History and Backup : You get a dedicated version history and all the documents saved are backed up to DragBin's drive. Everything stays in a unified and secure workspace, clubbed with DragBin's [encrypted cloud storage](/features/secure-cloud-storage/). ## Why Encrypted Documents Matter for Online Collaboration Google Docs and Microsoft Word may be excellent for real-time collaboration but the same cannot be said for security. We have previously explored how the [AI privacy problems with Microsoft OneDrive](/blog/onedrive-vs-google-drive/) and [whether Google Drive is safe or not](/reviews/google-drive-review-2026/). In reality, client side encryption is only offered to enterprise plans, leaving other users vulnerable.- Many cloud document editors encrypt files in transit and at rest, only offering server side encryption instead of client side encryption. This means that they store and manage your encryption keys, technically possessing the ability to decrypt your data. - With the integration of several AI tools, your data that is being scanned may possibly be used for AI training or other ways to improve their models. These features process document information to provide their functionality, including your sensitive information. - Content scanning using automated systems may seem noble to prevent any prohibited content or malware. However, this leads to limited control over your personal data especially when the information is private. - If your encryption keys are not managed locally, sensitive information may be exposed during a data breach, depending on the security controls in place. As outlined in [our philosophy](/philosophy/), your data is nothing less than a natural resource and must be protected. Big Tech should not get their hands on your private data or thoughts recollected in documents. Since DragBin is not VC funded, we do not have any pressure from investors breathing down our neck. ## How DragBin Protects Your Documents and Data DragBin offers [client side, end-to-end encryption](/client-side-encryption/) to protect your data and ensure complete privacy. On top of end-to-end encryption, we also offer post quantum encryption to combat active "[Harvest Now, Decrypt Later](/harvest-now-decrypt-later/)" threats. This approach ensures that your data is protected today, tomorrow and always in the future, even in the face of quantum threats. ### MLKEM Key Encapsulation Quantum-resistant key encapsulation mechanism securing asymmetric key exchanges against future threats. ### Argon2 Key Derivation Winner of the Password Hashing Competition. Securely derives keys from your password with high computational cost. ### AES-256 Encryption Industry-standard symmetric encryption with 256-bit keys. Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest. You get complete metadata protection in our zero knowledge security architecture. This means that nobody can view your files, folders, passwords, timestamps or filenames - not even the employees of DragBin. Whatever you pen down, insert or any action performed in encrypted documents in DragBin is private to you and the people you share it with. ## Get Started With Encrypted Documents in DragBin As mentioned already, this feature is available across DragBin Free, Professional, Creators, and Business plans, making encrypted document collaboration accessible to everyone.
