Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your initial comment was "Not gonna happen since Proton is all encrypted." When I pointed out that that makes no difference--and we have Windows and Mac version (that accesses this encrypted data) then you switched to another reason. It won't end, so I have to say good bye, knowing that My Proton Vpn on linux install works, the e-mail bridge works, somebody will integrate the Proton drive API with linux because that's what the community does even if Proton doesn't release it.
It's not another reason. It's the same reason.
If it wasn't encrypted it would be trivial to spin up a local integration like Google or MS already have.
Since it is encrypted, it makes it significantly more complicated to develop. While this development may make sense on MS or Mac, it doesn't on Linux, because it requires more resources and serves a much much smaller number of users.
I've already explained all of this in the previous comments.
"Works" is right. Like I said, it's extremely basic compared to it's MS and Mac counterparts.
Notice how MS and Mac get fully-featured desktop clients and all Linux gets is a "bridge" to connect to an inbox client developed by someone else.
