Proton Drive - How do you mount the 'Computers' category?

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

In addition to 'My Files', the Proton Drive web inteface has a device - backup category called 'Computers':

When mounting proton drive via
rclone mount NAME: /path/to/Proton/ --vfs-cache-mode full
the 'My Files category is mounted successfully, but I have not been able to find documentation on where mounting 'Computers' is possible or how to do it.
Is it even possible and how do you do it ?

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

rclone v1.67.0

  • os/version: debian 12.6 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.6.13+bpo-amd64 (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.22.4
  • 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 mount RemoteNAME: /path/to/Proton/ --vfs-cache-mode full

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get

[ProtonDrive]
type = protondrive
username =[DELETED]
password = XXX
2fa = [DELETED]
client_uid = XXX
client_access_token = XXX
client_refresh_token = XXX
client_salted_key_pass = XXX

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

I came here looking for an answer to this same question.

Help!

I'd imagine it doesn't exist yet as that's why you don't see it.

I didn't specifically find a request for it, but requires someone to pick it up, add it in or sponsors but the proton stuff seems to have someone really spending time on coding it up.
