I tried rclone and it freaked out at regular ping intervals and instead deleted everything on the drive. GG. I want to like you Proton but your decisions of late are ASTHENATE. I wouldn’t have minded the crypto wallet release if basic features on the core apps were remotely coherently finished. The AI writer add on for a local model doesn’t even work on Firefox. For people supposedly embracing the FOSStyle, this isn’t the way. /rant

Linux-compatible requests are literally some of the top 5 requests across all apps.

Yes but for 6% of the userbase. It’s frustrating but I can understand them prioritizing other features.

@Dave @fossilesque Where did 6% come from?

It was in my head from somewhere, so I went back trying to find out where. I think the number probably comes from this article, in which for VPN users, 6% asked for better Linux support.

They mention Linux in other sections(e.g. Drive) but only as part of the “Other” category and they don’t quantify it.

However, the smallest category separately listed for Proton Drive has 8% of the vote, so it’s definitely less than that, and it would make sense for it to be around 6% like the VPN one.

@Dave @fossilesque Are there (secure) alternatives to a Proton provided Drive application on Linux?
