Is there a good dark net version of google docs available? So docs can be stored and managed online in a secure way while not being tied to you

I need to store some documents online and the documents need to be able to be referenced by different members of my crew. the different members also need to be able to add to the documents so everyone can manage it together. Basically I need a darknet version of google docs that is secure and also can't be tied to me so it needs to be anonymized with tor. Is anything like this available?

Yeah, there are a few tools out there that get close to what you're looking for, but nothing that's a perfect darknet clone of Google Docs. Your best bet is using something like **Etherpad** or **CryptPad**, which can be self-hosted or accessed through onion mirrors if you find a trusted instance. CryptPad is end-to-end encrypted and doesn't require accounts, which helps with anonymity, but you'd still want to run it through Tor and keep all traffic isolated.

For total control and privacy, hosting your own instance of something like **Etherpad** on a hidden service is ideal, that way only your crew with the onion link can access it, and you’re not relying on a third party. Just make sure everyone accesses it through Tor, and use PGP to share sensitive info or credentials securely. It’s not fully plug-and-play, but with a bit of setup, you can definitely build a secure, anonymous collab space.

Yeah, CryptPad was actually the first thing that came to mind too. Been messing with it a bit pretty solid for basic collab, but like you said, not exactly Google Docs levels of smooth. Hosting your own Etherpad over .onion sounds like the move if you're serious about staying airtight. You ever try running one yourself?
