Unlike the majority of platforms offering sheets out there, our product is [end-to-end encrypted](/end-to-end-encryption/). From performing calculations with formulas to visualizing data through charts and graphs, your data belongs to you alone.Available on [all plans](/pricing/), including the free tier, you can now manage spreadsheet workflows within DragBin's privacy-first ecosystem. Instead of switching between tools, our product supports real-time collaboration, flexible viewing and editing permissions. Moreover, you get CSV, XLSX import and export options, all in a [zero knowledge security architecture](/zero-knowledge-encryption/).[Try DragBin Free](https://app.dragbin.com/signup) ## Why Encrypted Spreadsheets Matter for Data Privacy It is well known that [Google scans your content](/blog/does-google-drive-scan-your-files/), whether it's in drive, sheets or any other document. The same goes for Microsoft Excel whose automated system processes scan files for malware, illegal content and other safety risks. Only business or enterprise accounts have the liberty to manage their own encryption keys.Some common privacy risks with maintain stream spreadsheet platforms include :- AI assistants process spreadsheet information to respond to prompts which in turn may lead to sensitive data being exposed. - Unless you are on the business plan, major platforms like Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel use server side encryption. This means they store and manage your encryption keys, retaining the ability to technically access your data. - Confidential information can still be exposed when users grant excessive permissions, share files externally or leave access open after a project ends. For this reason, using a consolidated platform like DragBin's workspace is much better instead of juggling numerous platforms. - Weak data protection laws can also affect how the legal system of that particular country may demand to take a look at your data. With encrypted sheets in DragBin, we wanted to change this and offer the same privacy to everyone. Unlike Big Tech that uses AI tools to scan your data or training, we want to drift away and make privacy part of everyday spreadsheet workflows. Free or paid users alike, we offer our zero knowledge security architecture to everyone. ## Organize Data, Run Calculations and Visualize Results With encrypted sheets in DragBin, you get some of the most crucial tools required to organize information. Work with data, turn raw information into useful insights and analyze performance with ease. Below are some of the core features that are offered -- Perform calculations with formulas: Use spreadsheet formulas to calculate total and compare values - Sort and filter data: Arrange information in a meaningful order and filter rows to focus on specific details. - Organize information across multiple sheets: Keep related datasets within a single spreadsheet by creating separate sheets for different work. - Visualize data with charts and graphs: Convert spreadsheet values into visual representations - Import and export CSV and XLSX files: Bring existing spreadsheets into DragBin without rebuilding them from scratch. The best part about encrypted spreadsheets in DragBin is that you get to work with a familiar spreadsheet interface. Enter information, organize and manage calculations just like you would do in any other spreadsheet. The biggest difference is that our product works in a privacy-focused ecosystem where nobody can read your data. ## Collaborate on Spreadsheets Without Losing Control As mentioned already, DragBin uses client side, end-to-end encryption to protect all your files.
