Urgh I just spent the morning learning about #samba as a workaround to there not being a #ProtonDrive app for #linux, and then discovered that _that_ doesn't work either! https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail-calendar/suggestions/43728105-allow-us-to-map-protondrive-to-a-local-network-dri

Urgh.

Well, at least I learnt a thing! 馃帀

Allow us to map ProtonDrive to a local network drive

There are examples, such as onedrive, that maps a network drive to a cloud storage location. This is also possible with Azure storage accounts. If we could map a password protected local network drive to our proton drive, well, that would just be awesome. I'm not sure if it is possible or how much work it would be, be it would be a very nice feature. Thanks

@da5nsy Does this unofficial client not work? It seems to be maintained and has a good number of stars on github (for whatever that's worth).

Ooh! Interesting! I don't think I've come across that... will give it a test...

@drhoopoe Initial testing is very promising! Looks like the first commit was right at the end of last year, so this is some seriously fresh news!

@da5nsy

Perhaps look into rclone? I use it for google drive and `rclone help backends` show protondrive as a service.

@carlt4 Yeah I've tried it, and it doesn't work reliably sadly (it gets some of the files and then times out...).

I think I delved into the forums to work out whether I was doing something wrong and the answer as I recall it is that Proton (currently) actively blocks the type of access that #rclone uses.

#Proton keeps saying that there will be a #ProtonDrive app for #Linux soon though 馃
