Backup of .TMP files
I recently learned through your Customer Support service that Proton Drive won't back up files with the .TMP extension, as it considers them temporary files.
The issue is, I have a program stored in my Proton Drive that contain files with a .TMP extension, but I know for a fact that they are not temporary, but essential for the program to work.
My suggestion is to either remove this restriction entirely, or to add a Settings option to allow users who select it to sync temporary files as well.

just zip it before upload.
OR
u can rename them with find and sed in 1 second
find . -type f -name "*.tmp" | while IFS= read -r file; do
mv -- "$file" "$(echo "$file" | sed 's/\.tmp$//')"
donethe example, as you can see, is no ending with sed.
instead you should just use a custom ending you want, so you can rename them back afterwards with another command.
or just use windows and search for *.tmp and rename there or in powershell.
tmp are still best-practice temporary files
