Proton Drive inconsistent failures

[Moongoat]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

It seems like moving small files to Proton Drive remote works but not larger files. Also, I have a crypt remote pointed to the same Proton Drive and nothing ever works on that. It did create it’s own folder on the remote though but fails to put files in it.

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

Installed from cachyos-extra-zenver4 repo.

rclone v1.72.0
- os/version: cachyos (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.17.8-2-cachyos (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.25.4 X:nodwarf5
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none

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

Google Drive (works)
Proton Drive (the problem child)

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

Copying a 32M size file to regular Proton remote fails:

rclone copy '08. Forest.flac' PDrive:

Copying an empty test file to encrypted Proton remote fails:

rclone copy protontest EPDrive:

This same tiny file copies to the regular remote happily though.

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

I know Proton Drive support is still considered Beta and I am prepared to accept that as an answer. Sorry to contribute to what seems must be a bit of a headache for you all (Proton Drive). Still, I figured I would ask in case there is a simple solution. My Google Drive remotes are working great so thanks for that and thanks for the great tool! I would love it if Proton Drive were also working.

Cheers!

Does it with brand new files that have never touched the remote too.

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to change much:

yeah, but there is one difference in the value of error codes.

without --protondrive-replace-existing-draft -> Code=2501, Status=422)
with --protondrive-replace-existing-draft-> Code=2500, Status=422)

That is interesting. I’ve tried looking up the exact meaning of the codes but haven’t had any luck. In both instances they are attached to either “A file or folder with that name already exists” or “File or folder not found”. I’m not sure why rclone thinks the file already exists when it doesn’t or why it would be returning “not found.” And I’m not sure why the empty file works.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

@Moongoat

And I’m not sure why the empty file works.

in other words, "why the non-empty file fails." ?

Issue Uploading Non-Empty Files to Proton Drive with rclone v1.66.0

What is the problem you are having with rclone? Uploading files to a Proton Drive remote that contain content is no longer functional for me. This was working flawlessly a couple of days ago and still is for blank files. I am not aware that I have made any changes relevant to this issue. I'm not sure if this is an issue on my side, if the API changed, or something entirely else. If someone could share their experience, I would appreciate it. Things I've tried I've tried on a different machine …

[Moongoat]

I assumed that might be the case. Well, thanks for the effort. I suppose the “Solution” is that Proton just doesn’t currently work with rclone. Cheers.

[Crash]

I get the same error so I guess we are out of luck
