Rsync compatibility
Enable rsync compatibility with Proton Drive to allow Linux users to sync files and directories for cloud backup. This should be a core feature of any cloud storage solution and makes Proton an unappealing ecosystem on Linux.

So glad I found this community. I thought I was the only one having issues with rclone and Proton Drive. Want to migrate off Google Drive but can't until this is resolved.

1000% agree on this. Proton doesn't need to reinvent the wheel. Work with existing open source tools where possible. If anything, this is not just less work for Proton, but they could end up contributing to open source projects, making them better for everyone, but on top of all of this, it's even better from a privacy and security perspective.

Just in case anyone else comes here, rclone tries to solve this problem, but I have found it to be very unreliable, often failing, creating duplicates, etc. I suspect this is because Proton's API is poorly implemented, not because of rclone itself.

That would be fantastic! But I would be happy if there was at least a Linux client like under Windows. Maybe Proton can give you some news about the status here. Apparently they are working on it.
