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
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?
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.
