Proton Drive beta for Windows (self.protonmail)

Anyone else get it?

Appears to work well so far. It uploaded four 20GB veracrypt volumes for me and synced down ~100GB of files I had on Drive.

I'm not thrilled with the fact that I couldn't select what would be synced down, but I suppose that feature may come at a later date.

I'm excited for it coming to Linux -- later in the year, I think?

Same here. I want the desktop client for Linux.

I had paused on using drive for a while for large files, upload wasnt working. I haven't downloaded it yet, but it is on my to do list.

I am glad to hear it is working for larger files now.

I have it. I don't need the feature to select only things I want synced down, at least now anyway.

It works good for me so far, I just have concerns over privacy using an OS like Windows. I don't know how that work, i.e., fan Windows OS see your files in your synced folder?

I was also thinking along the lines of Windows security... With all my files synced locally (down), aren't all those files now exposed to the OS and all the potential pitfalls that come with it?

I don't actually want this functionality. I put those files on Proton to keep them separate and secure.

Yeah. I'm probably going to delete it and just wait for the Linux version. The ONE thing I use across Windows/Linux/Graphene(Android) is my pass manager database. A cloud service helps me keep it synced, since I use KeePassXC/DX. I can manage to just keep doing it manually for WIndows, though.
