@ppb1701@ppb.social I give it 2-3 days before the Proton Groupies come in here and claim we're all wrong for warning people about Proton. I don't understand why people "simp" for a corporation. It makes no sense to me. But they do. #Proton #ProtonMail #ProtonVPN #ProtonPass #ProtonDrive

I finally defeated the final boss of my backup migration to Proton Drive. For months, I have been trying to sync my 500GB media library (around 80k files) to Proton Drive. Every single time, the sync crashed with the exact same error: "1 item failed to backup." The only clue I had was a blurry thumbnail named "Asset 1". No date, no metadata, no search tags. I was so frustrated that I even asked Proton support to completely wipe my encrypted volume so I could start from scratch. The result was exactly the same. Finding this file became a manual protocol. I spent months periodically scanning through thousands of files just looking for a visual match to that tiny thumbnail. I finally found it today. It was an old scan from 2017. It was completely frozen - uneditable, unindexed, and gave an error when I tried to export it from my phone. I managed to track it down via macOS. When I forced an export there, the truth came out: it was not an image at all. It was a .pdf file somehow saved into the photo gallery, and it was silently breaking the entire upload queue. Removing it fixed everything. The sync is finally 100% complete. The relief of finally closing this mental background process is unmatched. #ProtonDrive #SelfHosted #DataHoarder #TechSupport #Backup #TechPhilosophy #DataMigration #Fediverse

Ich habe vor allem #GoogleDrive, neben halt meinen Offline-Downloads, als mein "Off-Site-Backup" genutzt, aber dafür werde ich wohl entweder #ProtonDrive oder #MEGA nutzen, wenn nicht sogar beides. #DID #DiDay #DigitalIndipendence #DigitalIndipendenceDay

Is there a way to configure #Proton on iOS to upload photos to a folder that will sync to my Windows PC using the #ProtonDrive app there? Their app just uploads them to the cloud but they don’t make it to my PC.
