RClone - ProtonDrive: 'vfs cache: failed to upload'

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi, to start with some basic information. I'm trying to mount my ProtonDrive account to my Linux PopOs 22.04 LTS system and have it sync with the drive. Ideally I would actually like to do this inside a Veracrypt folder but one problem at a time. I'm new to Rclone, so please forgive some ignorance.

I've had a nightmare getting RClone to work at all, I don't entirely know what I did wrong. Does RClone have to operate after the home folder? That seemed to be the final change, possibly. Also Proton doesn't allow the App Version to contain 'rclone' thus it has to be changed to 'macos-drive@1.0.0-alpha.1', this should probably be on the Wiki it seems consistent enough.

Anyway. I can now mount my drive in my home folder and access the files. It's slower than the Windows Client but that's perhaps expected. If though I edit and save a file I get the below error. The edit is then not replicated in ProtonDrive. If I dismount and remount, the change is still present locally though. Is the cache not supposed to clear on exit?

As this command continues indefinitely I then used 'Crtl-C' to cancel the command with the following output.


2025/02/19 22:01:03 INFO  : Signal received: interrupt

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My minimum use case requires me to be able to access files 'live', edit them and have them save back to the cloud. Ideally if I can store a local back up of one folder, that would be awesome and if I could access inside a veracrypt volume brilliant but that's not essential.

2

Could you clarify what you mean by this? It makes no sense to me.
Also it might help if you clarified your workflow - once you have done the mount, what do you do next?

3

Hi, thanks for your response and sorry if this wasn't clear.

Work Flow:

Open Terminal

cd ~

rclone mount protondrive: ~/protondrive/ --vfs-cache-mode full

Immediately the prior mentioned warning comes up, that it can't upload the file I've previously edited. The drive is simultaneously mounted in File Explorer allowing me to browse and even edit the files. If I try to edit the file though, for example add lines to a text.txt, the changes are not present on the cloud when I check the cloud @ drive.proton.me . They will be present on my laptop if I close the connection and mount the drive again.

The first time this happened, I ran the command, the drive still did not appear in File Explorer (I had a few issues getting it working) I used a different terminal window to navigate to the file path. The file path did exist and when I ran

ls -a

everything was populated. At this point the file system appeared in file explorer. I navigated to a folder I'd already made called 'popos' that had a blank .docx. Wrote 'hello world' and saved the document. Changes were not replicated on the document @ drive.proton.me. When I checked back to the terminal, I had the aforementioned error and I've been stuck here since.

There's isn't really much more to the workflow.

With regards to what I'm asking with mounting to home. Do I have to mount to

~/a/given/file/path

or for example, could I mount to

/mnt/protondrive

When I was trying to do that it didn't work but as I said, I had a few issues, if you can't tell, I'm not exactly confident with the program yet.

4

OK, but as far as I can see, all you've done at this point is mount the drive - have you done something to upload a file?

You certainly don't have to mount in your home directory. In fact if you want to clone your home directory, it's preferable not to.

You can, but first make sure /mnt/protondrive has rwx permission for the user.

Be aware that tools like file managers can do all sorts of things that you don't expect[], so using them on a remotely mounted drive should be used with caution.
[] Like running 'file' on the contents of any directory you open which reads the files to determine what type of file it is - this obviously works much better locally that something that's remote.

5

My expectation that if I navigate to

~/remotedrive/x-folder/

and run

nano text.txt
crtl-x

It would save to the remote drive and thus be accessible both at;

~/remotedrive/x-folder/test.txt and at drive.proton.me.

Where I just did exactly this and put 'Hello World' in the text file.

If I run

nano text.txt

The file opens and says 'Hello World' as expected but if I go to the website or on my mobile app the file is not on the cloud server.

I see that using rclone mount will restart a cache to remote sync that was in progress when 'rclone mount' was terminated.

That is correct, however don't expect it to happen instantly.

You might find specifying --cache-dir in 'rclone mount' useful - if you have a lot of files sitting in the cache awaiting upload, the exercise about would take longer than you expect. Check the cache dir to see what's there.

7

I will give that a go now but I've had it running for over an hour and every time it tries to upload the document I still get the below error saying it's failed and that 'Revision is not enabled'.


ERROR : popos/Document: vfs cache: failed to upload try #14, will retry in 5m0s: vfs cache: failed to transfer file from cache to remote: 422 POST https://mail.proton.me/api/drive/shares/[REDACTED]==/files/[REDACTED]==/revisions: Revision is currently not enabled for Documents (Code=200700, Status=422)

Yes both files are sat in the cache. However they've been trying to upload for over an hour and only come to a total of 8KB?

I just been receiving the error that;

025/02/19 19:43:53.853470 WARN RESTY 422 POST https://mail.proton.me/api/drive/shares/REDACTED/files/REDACTED==/revisions: Revision is currently not enabled for Documents (Code=200700, Status=422), Attempt 1

Or

2025/02/20 01:13:14 ERROR : popos/test.txt: vfs cache: failed to upload try #14, will retry in 5m0s: vfs cache: failed to transfer file from cache to remote: a draft exist - usually this means a file is being uploaded at another client, or, there was a failed upload attempt. Can use --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true to temporarily override the existing draft

There is no draft available on the ProtonDrive website.

Too me it seems that, they're aren't actually being sent to the server and that they're not sending at all. Perhaps I'm missing something here though.

9

Have you tried using this setting?

10

Yes it does get rid of the new secondary error but the console continues to spit out the 'revisions not enabled error' that's been present from the start.

vfs cache: failed to transfer file from cache to remote: 422 POST https://mail.proton.me/api/drive/shares/[REDACTED]==/files/[REDACTED]==/revisions: Revision is currently not enabled for Documents (Code=200700, Status=422)

'Revision is currently not enabled for Documents' but there doesn't seem to be a --enable-revisions option.

Thanks for the assistance, it's appreciated. If I can get this working it would be really helpful.

From the rclone man page, it seems that 'revisions' is a google drive thing, so you'd expect them to not be enabled on other platforms. It's probably OK to ignore the console error.
