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
Just go to mailbox.org?
i wander where they got the feedback from, that the people wanted AI related features more than say linux support on drive, mail, and vpn
The did explain in a blog post that AI integration was one of the higher requested features. And with an electron client, it’s easy to roll out to all platforms.
A drive client for Linux would need to be specifically developed and could not be reused for other platforms.
But yes, I would love a Drive client for Linux. I’ve recently started moving to Proton and can’t make use of Drive without it.
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?
FYI: RClone added proton drive support. just synced a 220gb borg archive over last week.
I wonder if Proton could shave off some work hours by just putting the API team in contact with the RClone backend developer, or by contributing to it.
I get the feeling even if Proton released a drive app for Linux, all but the most casual users will just be waiting for when RClone learns from it and improves.
Yes, I am aware. I did too, two weeks ago and then it deleted everything after it stopped working.
That’s odd behavior, haven’t seen that before myself. I had to try a few times, the command that finally got it to sync for me was as follows:
rclone sync ./borg crypt:/borg/ --verbose --retries=10 --low-level-retries=20 --drive-chunk-size=32M --protondrive-2fa 123456
then I followed up with a --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true to fix the remaining errors.
YMMV. Hope you’re able to get it working!
It’s frustrating. I use Proton Drive only for “cold storage” backups, and have to pay for a Filen subscription (which works great!) for things I need to live sync.
