Support for Proton Drive

Hi,

It does not look as though Proton Drive is still supported, as it is not on the Remote drive list. I am running Linux Mint. Google Drive works fine. Does anyone know when this feature will return?

I believe this is on Proton. There was a developer/contributor working on getting rclone to work with proton and it was working for a while but changes were made (presumably on Proton’s end) and it broke. I’m not 100% if the contributor is still even working on it. And if you visit the proton drive subreddit, you’ll notice plenty of unhappy drive users. Proton does not officially support rclone either.

I have been using Koofr as an rclone destination with great success. Koofr has “vault” storage that is zero knowledge encrypted and rclone ‘crypt’ works really well with it. I use it all the time. Also, Filen’s rclone support is in beta. I have not tried the Filen/rclone beta but I’ve read it is working. Personally I’ve given up on proton drive for now, but will check back in 6 months or a year.

Thanks @wait_what for the detailed context — that aligns with what we’ve seen as well.

Just to add: Proton Drive support is currently broken on the rclone side, not in RcloneView. The underlying issue is being tracked here on GitHub:

Until rclone restores compatibility, Proton Drive won’t appear in RcloneView’s remote list. We’re monitoring the issue, but at the moment there’s no confirmed timeline from the rclone contributors or Proton.

We’ll re-enable Proton Drive in the UI once rclone resolves the underlying problem.

Hi- is there an updated status please on rcloneview and Proton drive compatability. Today (7 Feb 2026) Proton drive is again being listed in the Rcloneview remote list but the connection into Proton drive is still not working. I am getting a ‘failed to fetch file items after 3 attempts’ error message and in the rcloneview log so , whilst I have a Proton Drive window created none of my Proton Drive folders/files have been fetched and non are visible. Would appreciate the latest on this ASAP please as I seem to be wasting a lot of my time :frowning:

After looking into this, we can confirm that Proton Drive has been officially deprecated by rclone (classified as Tier 5 — no longer maintained or supported). You can see the current status here: Backend Support Tiers

Since RcloneView relies on rclone as its backend, Proton Drive support is unfortunately no longer viable. The fact that Proton Drive still appeared in the RcloneView remote list was our mistake — it should have been removed when rclone deprecated it.

We will release a hotfix shortly to remove Proton Drive from the remote list to avoid further confusion.

We apologize for the inconvenience and the time you spent troubleshooting this.
