Well, ignoring anything else, cozy lacks the encryption proton drive has.
Which makes it little or no better than any other cloud provider, afaict.
But, if you can't make use of proton being encrypted because they're dipshits about making their stuff Linux friendly, then they're no better than any other options. So you might as well go with whatever gives you the most bang for the buck
Do you by any chance have a reference for that? I believe you, I'd just like to read a little more about it. Of course then there's also Cryptomator if the host doesn't properly protect your stuff . . .
I can make use of Proton Drive, but using the web client only, which is extremely cumbersome. There is rclone, but I'm not smart enough to understand how to set it up. 🤕 IIRC, of all the Proton Apps, Drive is the only one lacking a Linux client.
A reference? No, but I checked out their site, searched for any mentions of encryption, and the only part of their services that mention out is their password keeper. Since they only mention it there, that would point to that being the only part that has it, since neglecting to mention it for other aspects seems like a giant gap in their marketing
Yeah, I couldn't find anything much there either! Oh well.
