Emulating Proton Drive on Linux (self.proton_me)

submitted 6 months ago by root to c/[email protected]

First off, I'm guessing this is the most active Proton Technologies community on Lemmy (if there is another, please let me know!)

I recently started playing around with Proton Drive, and my biggest complaint is that there is no dedicated Linux client.

I've run quite a few Windows application on Linux in the past using Wine/ Lutris/ Bottles, etc. However when trying to run the Proton Drive installer (for Windows), it quits prematurely with a generic error message.

I'm guessing there are some config options I need to tweek, or perhaps it knows it's not running in a Windows environment and prevents installation for security reasons. Anyone have any tips or done this successfully?

Maybe try something like rclone instead, I think they added support for Proton Drive in one of the recent versions.

I've heard of rclone, and did see that they support Proton Drive, but it's just hard for me to trust a translation layer like that. I know emulating their program is also not ideal.
