I tried three different ways to use rclone as a solution to the lack of a native proton app for fedora or debian. CLI Rclone before it had proton support. GUI available on github that incorporates rclone, and finally cli rclone again since the gui failed to configure.Because rclone now supports protondrive I tried again and was able to get the config done. However, even though I supplied the 2FA code and logged in via terminal after I was also logged in on the browser, Proton locked me out for "suspicious activity from my network" -- which, ironically was their own f**** vpn server.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.71.0
- os/version: fedora 42 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.24.6
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none

Proton Drive (removing this from the site would help end this. or, better yet, putting up there that it is no longer supported.) the cli still says it i supported. seeing that various people have different kinds of problems is different than a flat statement that something is no longer supported.
