Can't upload large files to Proton?

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I get errors when attempting to upload a large file with the copyto command to Proton Drive.

I tried a variety of files of different sizes, and the limit appears to be somewhere between 146MB and 778MB. Every file below that line worked, and every file above that line failed with strange errors.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.69.0
- os/version: ubuntu 24.10 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.11.0-14-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.23.4
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Proton Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone copyto ~/test.mp4 proton:folder1/test.mp4

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

welcome to the forum,

did you see that?

I saw that error, but I assume it is wrong. The rclone command itself states this on line 9 of the output:

test.mp4: Need to transfer - File not found at Destination

Also, I specifically changed the source and destination filename with every test I ran to ensure that there was never a possibility of an existing file complicating the action.

not sure exactly why you keep seeing that error on a new, never previously uploaded file, but rclone was clear about that to try, so why not try it?
afiak, the fact that the file does not exist in the dest, it not relevant to the error message.


did you read the docs?
When a file upload is cancelled or failed before completion, a draft will be created and the subsequent upload of the same file to the same location will be reported as a conflict.


can you post the output of rclone about proton:

Here's the output of rclone about proton::

Total:   510 GiB
Used:    2.368 GiB
Free:    507.632 GiB

As for the --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true flag, I added it and ran the test again. It's still running, but I've seen enough output to conclude that the process has gone off the rails and should probably be killed.

much discussed in the forum, that rclone's support for proton has stalled, maybe abandoned, has old bugs not getting fixed and the author of the rclone's proton backend has not visited the forum in over a year, and did not respond to a request from ncw.

it is clear from forum posts and proton tech support, that proton refuses to support rclone.
