I'm writing a book and my editor needs to be able to alter/comment on the document as we go. I'm afraid AI is gonna use my work so I wanna move away from Google.

Idk how I didn't think of that, my goodness

I'd carefully review policies of Dropbox or any company to make sure you aren't just jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. If I was you I'd look into one of the encrypted services others have mentioned. Or even just email an encrypted PDF to them on the regular.

I'm going to review my options EXTENSIVELY. My book is the best thing I've ever written and my beta readers are already fans of it and I'm only 3 chapters in.

This sounds really exciting. Can't wait to hear more about your book.

Thank you! I plan to share it here on Lemmy once I get published. I'm having so much fun with it. It's SUPER different than my usual writing an it is honestly a blast

Now I want to read the book!
