Mandatory “I want a Drive Client for Linux” comment. Why should I care about features I won’t be able to access out of a cumbersome web app without even a search tool?
Also, why should I since I won’t be renewing anyway.
I’m tempted to give this a try. I already am really happy with my VPN and password manager, but it looks like you can subscribe to mail/calendar for a reasonable price. If I did that and drive, I’d rely on Google a lot less.
looks like there’s no way to allow edits for everyone with the link, they can only view the document that way. guess it’s Google Docs for me for the foreseeable future :(
also, it doesn’t seem to support previewing .odt, while .docx works fine.
yes, like your quote says, you have to invite other users. you have to explicitly add every user’s email in order to let them edit it, you can’t just create a link and send it to people.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Very cool, I will keep self hosting instead of using corpoid “privacy” services that help convict climate activists

Personally, I just use it in a web browser for ad-hoc file uploads. If you’re looking for regular syncing though, supposedly rclone works. https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/providers/#usernamepassword-setup
I actually hadn’t noticed it’s not there for mobile, but there’s search in the desktop view of the website
I love this personally. Glad to see Proton slowly becoming a proper alternative to Google or MS.

If you need more than one domain there’s also a business plan that gives you 3 for less money than the top-tier individual plan.

Are you sure others cannot edit? From the linked blog post:
“Share and invite anyone — Invite other users to view or edit your documents with a single click.”
“Collaborate in real-time — Changes are reflected immediately, ensuring every contributor always sees the most up-to-date version.”

Oh, I see, thanks for clarifying. I have never had a use case where I want that.
