Is proton completely unusable on Linux?

s3rvant@piefed.social on 29 Jun 14:27 next collapse

Proton has Linux clients for mail sync (Bridge) and VPN. They do not have a Linux client for their cloud Drive product.

Is WebDAV not supported?

s3rvant@piefed.social on 01 Jul 02:07 collapse

No; the issue there is encryption / decryption. I see some comments elsewhere mentioning a 3rd party plugin via Rclone so there's some potential there but nothing officially supported.

stinerman@midwest.social on 29 Jun 15:40 collapse

There is no native client. You can use the features through the browser.

There is also a plugin for Rclone, but that’s a 3rd party, reverse-engineered app.

I’ve been using Filen for a couple months. It’s good. Happy to live without in-cloud editing of documents for the price and privacy guarantees

I'm a big fan of syncthing. It doesn't rely on cloud services for storage, and can work 100% locally if you want it to.

It isn't perfect. It has a model of running a web server for managing the service which is a little strange. Because it is not backed by any cloud storage it means you are on your own to make sure you keep your copies safe.

With those two issues understood, it is simple, fast, free, and and supported almost everywhere. I have it on my phone, laptop, desktop, and as a docker container on my NAS. Everything stays synced and the NAS does backups of the data.

Same, I love syncthing too. End to end encrypted, works on nearly every platform, and easy to install.

I’d add hosted Nextcloud too. Hetzner for example have 1TB for less than 5 EUR/m and it works great on Linux.

nfreak@lemmy.ml on 29 Jun 16:27 next collapse

People will cite a lot of issues with nextcloud’s performance and stability, and I do get that it’s a bit bloated, but anecdotally it’s worked pretty much fine for me since day 1 (minus a few self-inflicted issues mostly regarding permissions). I’m not using the AIO though, I just use the nextcloud docker image with my own collabora instance running alongside it

cygnus@lemmy.ca on 29 Jun 16:29 collapse

Nextcloud is already on the list but I just wanted to mention that self-hosting isn’t the only way to use it. Frankly for the price of a hosted solution it isn’t worth it unless you already have a server for other things.

andrewrgross@slrpnk.net on 29 Jun 16:52 collapse

What’s the drawback of self hosted? I’ve had a self-hosted instance running on a raspberry pi for a few months now, and so far it’s working out great.

pogmommy@lemmy.ml on 29 Jun 17:15 next collapse

Honestly the only drawback is if you don’t already do selfhosting, NextCloud is kind of a big undertaking. If you’re already familiar with containerization and networking basics, it’s very smooth.

cygnus@lemmy.ca on 29 Jun 18:01 collapse

No drawback if you have the hardware and know how to do it, but those are major obstacles for the vast majority of people who use Google Drive. Signing up for a hosted instance is much easier (and not even more expensive)

FallenWalnut@lemmy.world on 29 Jun 17:36 collapse

NextCloud is in the Other Options section! It also gets a special feature in the Photo Apps guide :)

Alerian@sh.itjust.works on 29 Jun 17:47 collapse

Yes but it is mentionned as self hosted while it doesn’t have to be.

tisktisk@piefed.social on 29 Jun 15:51 next collapse

Aww, what's wrong with tresorit?

FallenWalnut@lemmy.world on 29 Jun 17:35 collapse

tresorit

hmm nothing… Somehow missed that one. Will included it for the next version - thanks for flagging!

Zweiblum@feddit.org on 29 Jun 19:47 next collapse

One might want to also have a look at murena cloud. It’s hosted in france, based on nextcloud and has the benifit of also including a mailing service. Additionally they have a custom andriod. murena.com/workspace/

DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works on 30 Jun 02:45 next collapse

thoughts on using a vps for nextcloud?

cutofmyjib@lemmy.ca on 30 Jun 05:56 next collapse

I’m waiting on TutaDrive to be launched.

goldenquetzal@lemmy.world on 30 Jun 06:21 next collapse

K drive came out in support of the law destroying privacy in Switzerland. I dropped them right after that. Nextcloud AIO self hosted and Filen are what I settled on, and for anyone who feels like self hosting is beyond them, i recommend looking at PikaPods. They’ll manage it for you.

sonalder@lemmy.ml on 30 Jun 14:21 next collapse

kDrive is from Switzerland which is NOT part of the EU and therefor doesn’t have the same law. Infomaniak doesn’t have to legally follow GDPR, you should use a Swiss flag instead of EU one to make it clearer.
