Proton Drive is online-only so I’m not sure what you’re asking here. Are you asking if you can download files?

The Google Drive app lets you save a file locally so that you can view it offline. I mean under the hood it is just downloading and syncing, but it’s a lot nicer than having to manage the files you want to view offline yourself.

That’s a big negative.

Why? Desktop file backup seems like a pretty similar feature to mobile photo backup (which seems to be working for me).

Edit: also looking at some videos of the Windows client, folder syncing seems to be possible. Just not yet on Linux. Still not sure why it would be bad.


Current State of Proton?
I'm looking to reduce my dependence on Google services as much as possible, and Proton seems to offer the most comprehensive private suite. A number of things seemed to be missing, but most of my information is from reviews that could be out of date. So I wanted to ask which of these features Proton can replicate. - Thunderbird mail syncing (without paid plan?) - Thunderbird calendar syncing - Calendar sharing - Easy move from google drive to proton drive - Sync android photos like google photos - Offline file saving for specific files in proton drive on android - Sync with folder or mount on linux (smb or similar)

Not sure what the screenshots are from, but is it not possible to rename the icons for legibility?
