ProtonDrive Bridge

would it make sense to connect to our Proton Drive. I see it as a way to bridge into our Proton Drive to easily access our files from our favorite file explorer rather using the web browser.

Also it would be easier for us to choose our favorite linux file explorer for us to easily connect to our personal proton drive, with our favorite linux file explorer its just adding the remote protocols and using protons recommended secure e2e encryption like adding the imap/smtp protocols to our favorite email client from the protonmail bridge. so it would be the same Princible that applies as adding sftp, ssh, webdev. protocols. so i see no problems with that! what you guys think about that idea?

Using the Proton Mail Bridge on my Linux laptop, I would very much appreciate something similar for Proton Drive. Within my filemanager I now use webdav connections to other online storage, and would love to do the same with Proton Drive.
For the moment I'm using the addon for Mozilla Thunderbird. But a Bridge for Proton Drive would be a huge plus!

Yes

Really hope this is the direction Proton goes. Love the encryption and commitment to privacy, but the half baked, heavily restricted, barely configurable, web based, proprietary file format programs they keep dropping out has me concerned at the very least with vendor lock-in.

Instead of multiple apps all connecting Proton to Local, we can have Proton Mail Bridge turned into Proton Bridge.

Contacts, Calendar and Drive could be different tabs in Proton Bridge. We have open protocols for each of them, CardDAV, CalDAV and WebDAV respectively.

+1 to this. And develop the source code in a way to make multi-platform ready to reduce the costs a time. Linux thanks the gaming and low resource use is growing, and the 0 or low cost of licences. Using snapcraft or flatpak can reduce the distro variety. Actually I'm using Linux for work because the native and better support of the NPU for advanced epidemiology calculation. Proton and privacy-oriented services are growing.
Standard like webdav, caldav and carddav integrates perfectly in the OS and in the productive software.
NAS is another point, but requires an specialiced software to sync. Non-NAS user is more frecuent and critical in domestic and enterprice setting.

En l'absence d'un support de Webdav, Proton Drive n'a plus beaucoup d’intérêt pour moi.
Ceci est lié à l’absence d'un outil de synchronisation pour linux.

I can‘t use Proton Drive as storage backend on my Linux Mint desktop as there is no WebDAV support on Proton server side. Please extend the existing Linux client mail bridge to support the WebDAV protocol alongside the IMAP protocol.
If the bridge also had CalDAV support i could finally also get rid of my calendar stored on iCloud.

I am a Proton user and I need need to mirror my NAS content into Proton Drive for both safety and security.
I keep my critical data on a mirrored NAS but everything is local.
For a disaster-recovery I need a remote copy (no, I don't trust US companies at all).
I would like a full Proton support on Windows/Linux/NAS (maybe Container?).

Best solution would be to create a cross-platform Bridge software (not only managing email) which could manage E2E encryption and allow management of Proton Mail WebDav.

I would move all my family to Proton.

Was looking into syncing additional docs to proton drive and ran into this exact issue.

A few other commenters noted nas syncs and it looks like someone made post specifically requesting that as well.

There have been several requests for the ability to set proton drive as the default location for libreoffice documents - much like the Office suite defaults to onedrive. The explanation for why we cannot have this is the encryption requirements for proton drive - fair enough - but Proton Mail Bridge provides a "bridge" service that permits local mail clients to interact with proton mail services. Could not this same be done for office applications? You could rebrand the Mail Bridge simply as "Bridge" and add functionality that would also allow us to set our office applications to default to the bridge and let it handle the data encryption and transit functions to the drive? Not sure if this request should be in the Mail section or Drive section but I put it here.

I currently use this feature to store critical information. Having to subscribe to another provider for this is an added cost. I hope proton adds this feature.

I pretty much can't use Proton Drive without webDav. It's okay, I mostly use Proton for email. But it would still be nice to be able to use the Drive too!

I am considering purchasing the unlimited version but I can't make use of it without WebDAV

O suporte WebDav é essencial! Como assim não suporta?

hello,
webdav is required to use cryptomator.

Necessary for use in conjunction with various other products, e.g. DevonThink, Cryptomator, NAS Connection, etc.

Instead of multiple apps all connecting Proton to Local, we can have Proton Mail Bridge turned into Proton Bridge.

Contacts, Calendar and Drive could be different tabs in Proton Bridge. We have open protocols for each of them, CardDAV, CalDAV and WebDAV respectively.

Ik wil Proton drive pas indien het mogelijk is om geautomatiseerde backups van mijn websites via WebDav (of andere wijze) op te kunnen slaan.

Another vote for WebDav for DevonThink!

Would be great to be able to sync Zotero and Obsidian!
