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

FYI: RClone added proton drive support. just synced a 220gb borg archive over last week.

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!

Sorry I don't trust it now. When I searched I saw others had the same issue. Be aware and check your files every so often and make a backup. I emailed support and they even clearly had a template for rclone issues.

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.
