where linux app

[–] cralder 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Could the open-sourcing of the other drive apps lead to an unofficial Linux app?

Sometimes you don't even need the open-sourcing side of things. I use rclone for OneDrive and I doubt Microsoft open sources it.

That being said, the rclone proton drive docs mention it's a beta and it's mostly the API they need to work properly.

Absolutely

I hope this leads to being able to have a Proton sheets or whatever name the Google sheets equivalent will be.

Libreoffice does not have collab features which Open Office does

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

LibreOffice Online does. It's not built around it, but Collabora's work has added some level of collaboration to it.

That said, if collab features are your top priority, then OnlyOffice may be the better option, since it was built web-first. I don't know what OpenOffice offers here though.

They haven't been making it super clear, but you can actually create, edit, and share text documents in Proton Drive right now! It's just not a separate thing like with Google.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Only in browser. It's not a properly functioning app.

I just want to be able to preview docs from my proton drive on my android app

I'm ok editing in browser only but I have my recipes there and can't preview them from my phone so I'm forced to keep them in Google drive instead
