Since a Linux client for Drive doesn’t appear to be in the works for anytime soon, having folder statistics (ex. # items in the folder, size of data in the folder) available from the web app would be pretty damn useful for figuring out if a given folder matches an offline backup.
(Yes I know that unofficially there’s the rclone thing but I tried that and got an “unusual account activity” error).
More broadly, it would be really helpful if Proton worked on base functionality for their existing products rather continuing to launch new products.
Yeah but aside for that stupid, useless wallet, they are stretched too thin and their products are just so lacklustre compared to the alternatives in everything.
Only the mail is kinda good, with the mobile app being just “ok” for basic workflows. The calendar and everything else, though, is straight up a pain to use compared to the alternatives
Which I’m really confused about. They have a LOT of paying users. They must be able to afford good devs. Where is all this money going? I want to see a breakdown of their expenses. That might not be outside the realm of reality now that they’re a nonprofit.
