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

    @Dave @apples_and_pears

    I’ve used Rclone with Proton Drive to mount a directory … it is dreadfully slow. Maybe directory/file sync (where copies are both places) are better.

    I cannot recommend Rclone for Proton Drive in “mount mode” currently.

    @protonprivacy This is why I’m still using Tresorit on Linux … One of two reasons (the other one is access to shared folders with read/write access).

      I have never seen a cloud location mounted and usable. Definitely want to do a proper sync where files are stored locally!

        @Dave It actually works quite nicely with Tresorit. And the latency lag is acceptable.

        I’ve been doing this via Rclone + Jotta Cloud with Rclone encryption, which still works better than Rclone + Proton Drive. But not as smooth as Tresorit. Rclone + Backblaze B2 + encryption is also better than the Proton Drive approach.

        I’ve also used this approach in read-only mode with @borgmatic too, which is a great way to restore data from a backup. And that’s almost as smooth as Tresorit (even though a very different use case).
