. . . what do you use instead? AlternativeTo mentions (among a few others) Cozy and Filen; anyone use either of these? Internxt got a pretty bad review from someone on Medium.

Problem of Proton Drive is not only in the missing linux client. There is no support of WebDAV that makes integration with many open source tools (like note taking apps or photo management tools) almost impossible. Nextcloud is much better for me. Without a WebDAV (or one of other popular APIs) it looks like an attempt to create "walled garden" with vendor-lock on Proton, imo.

Yeah I totally agree, I hate that they keep adding new stuff instead of focussing on their core business. It's especially annoying as the Android Protonmail app and the regular web mail client are really bare bones and have several long standing issues. Honestly if I had set it up with my own domain instead of the @pm.me (which admittedly is a nice suffix) I probably wouldn't be a paying customer anymore.
