I found out about CryptPad through a video, I think. I've been using it for a while for some docs, and I find it quite useful. It has bugs, if you tab out and tab back in you sometimes need to reload the page to continue editing, it takes a while to load, but overall works well, has a good privacy policy. Does anyone else use it? Are there other services like it?

I use it to share docs with other people. That way, I do not use the "(don't) be evil" US company.
But I do not keep my personal documents on it because there is no sync with offline storage.

I've tried it. The only thing (IMHO) it has going for it is the encryption. As an office suite it is very lacking. It really depends on what your priorities are. For me personally, I'll go with Collabora Office or something more encompassing that bundles and integrates with it.

We use it mainly for organizing stuff as groups of varying sizes, and it works fine (for us). Selfhosting (with the AUR pkg) is pretty easy.

I use it for all my private documents.

Sure, that's what cryptpadfs was made for!

I didn't actually check, but I'm sure it exists.
