Proton Drive though 😭. The Windows app is so nice, wish we could get that for Linux.
I've set up an Rclone for the time being, not great but it works well enough for basic bisynchronisation.
Oh... I thought they meant Drive is finally out. That sucks. :(
Ugh, they took too darn long. I'm probably going to switch to Nextcloud.
You should do it. Easy to setup using either their official AIO image or the community-driven micro service one. I am using the latter and it's been amazing. It's completely replaced Google Drive, Calendar, and Contacts for me and with the DAVx5 Android App it feels like a drop-in replacement. I am also using the auto upload feature to back up my photos to it.
Working on that right now. Wish me luck. :)
I would too, but after like a week I get bored of maintaining it myself when all the expenses summed together aren't much cheaper than Proton or likewise. This is what I was doing before submitting my independence to Proton.
Furthermore Nextcloud is just too damn sluggish. The web interface makes it seem like my server's idea of a CPU is a kid with a calculator and WebDAV isn't designed for cloud storage. I'll take new features being slow over my whole experience being even slower any day of the week.
I feel that. However, Proton's a non-starter for me as I'm using Linux, so no Proton drive client. Really scratching my head since Linux attracts the security conscious.
Celeste works fine on Linux, or you can use rclone directly.
That's what I've done, using
rclone bisyncand my crontab. Like I said it works well enough, but far from perfect. Using a beta backend with an experimental operation, according to the rclone website, puts me slightly on-edge.I did try Celeste, but stopped using it for two reasons:
- I use Budgie, so Libadwaita apps look incredibly out-of-place. Inconsistency like that makes me physically uncomfortable.
- Didn't really work, just too slow.
