    Really hope this leads to a proper Linux client soon. If mega can do it I have high hopes for proton.

        Another cloud service provider. I’ve been hoping to switch away from them for the past year or so since proton drive is included with my proton subscription.

          I thought for a sec mega would implement drive for linux for proton. I remember the cloud service now, misread your comment
