I've decided to leave Proton after being a user since 2017. Today, I migrated all my services to my new domain, marking the end of my time with Proton. The recent political noise and price point were no longer justifiable for me. It was a good experience while it lasted. Thanks for the fishes 🐟 🐠

Google does not support Drive on Linux.

If you add your Online Google Account to GNOME, it integrates your calendar, mail and adds a mapped Gdrive in Nautilus

Yes but that's not supported by Google. If your going to ding Proton Drive for not having a natove Linux client then you shouldn't tout Google Drive as a competitor who does, as they don't. You're giving Google Drive a free pass because of a third party. Google and Proton are the same on this feature and you should disparage both services equally as a result.

Does Proton have open API that GNOME can leverage same as GDrive?

[–] baronvonj 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The official apps are all open source (GPL-3.0, https://github.com/ProtonDriveApps), so even though a formal API isn't documented it is derivable from the 4 available clients. This is how rclone added support for Proton Drive. So there isn't really anything stopping GNOME or KDE from supporting it.

Interesting. Thanks for the info
