Title text says "Blockchain-based alternative for Google Docs".

GDPR mandates "right to be forgotten", which afaik isn't very compatible with how blockchains work.

How do you deal with it?

The encryption key is on the blockchain, but not your files, and you can choose whatever storage provider you want when you sign up. So you are free to remove all your fills, and they will be erased entirely, although they are heavily encrypted and you are the only person that have the keys.

How do you do this? I just went through the sign up and I did not see any such option.

How do you forget something that you do not know to begin with?
