WebDAV Access for ProtonDrive (Linux)
Dear Proton Team,
I’d like to share my feedback regarding Lumo and using ProtonDrive on Ubuntu. Below is a summary of our discussion:
- WebDAV Access for ProtonDrive I attempted to use ProtonDrive via WebDAV on Ubuntu to improve usability. Despite enabling Beta access, I couldn’t find a WebDAV option in ProtonDrive settings. Efforts to use davfs2 or rclone failed because the domain dav.proton.me couldn’t be resolved.
- Alternative Solutions ProtonMail Bridge: Installed successfully but lacks direct ProtonDrive integration. Session Buddy: A Chrome extension to save ProtonDrive sessions, reducing frequent logins. However, I’m uncomfortable relying on this workaround due to security concerns and limited functionality compared to native integration. Rclone: While useful for cloud sync, there’s no official support for ProtonDrive. Browser Extensions: Tools like password managers help but don’t replace native integration.
- Feedback and Suggestions Enable WebDAV: Official WebDAV support would allow seamless Linux integration. Native Desktop App: A dedicated ProtonDrive app for Linux would significantly improve usability and reduce reliance on browser extensions. API Access: Providing an API or official integrations (e.g., for rclone) would enhance flexibility. Access and Security: The current browser-based access is cumbersome, requiring frequent logins—especially problematic when handling sensitive data. A better integration would improve both usability and security.
- General Experience with Lumo Lumo provided helpful guidance but could offer clearer instructions or links for ProtonDrive integration on Ubuntu. I hope this feedback helps improve ProtonDrive’s Linux compatibility. Thank you for your efforts!

Thank you for forwarding this issue. Still an App-Password feature or a Proton Drive desktop version for all softwares (Linux, Mac, Windows) is needed so that we can work and save on the cloud simultaneously and safely, without having only safety-doubtable applications to use (like Google's).
I hope that our requests will be met soon. (Sorry, if I made any grammar or syntax mistake.) -

This would be so incredibly useful for syncing programs and apps, **** near everything supports it.

WebDAV would be super great!
And as commented by Jim I don't want to use other services for the few files I need WebDAV access to.

WebDAV is really valuable. I'd be happy to mark files accessible by WebDAV as "stored unencrypted".
I don't want to be running a Dropbox client just for the 5 files that I need WebDav access to
