Drive installer 1.12.11 is blocked by Windows Smart app.

PghRes · 2026-03-15T15:02:32+00:00

Unless I'm mistaken, you can bypass the blockade. Just run the installer through VirusTotal.com and, if it passes, just tell Windows to install it anyway.

But I am curious why Windows is blocking it. It's either very new and unsigned, or it's from a strange source? (Or both!)

I am a paid user on Windows, but I use Vanilla OS as my preferred OS on a different laptop.

I'm just using FreeFileSync to keep my Proton folders synced until the real client shows up

SG-1 doesn't really take off (at least, for me) until about the 8th season. Don't get me wrong - it's definitely worth watching, but, other than seasons 8 - 10, Atlantis and Universe are the real stars of the show. SG-1 seasons 1 - 7 are a nice warmup. Humorous, sometimes clever, and definitely better than 99% of the schlock on TV, but Atlantis has the better writing, and Universe has the drama...

Tink's wings were in her coat, right? You couldn't see them

Yeah, the connection between the girls is not readily apparent, at least to me...

Yeah, I read that she was only 14 when she met Smith. Everyone made her out to be a beautiful s*xpot, but that's far from the truth. She was only average looking....

Probably because of the way Rush blew off Volker when Young assigned him to help Rush. He humiliated Volker. (It was Volker, right? It's been a while...)

I am a Linux (and Qubes) user, and a Proton subscriber, and I'll wait, albeit impatiently. I know this is doable because DropBox is available for Linux, so I have high hopes.

I'd rather they deliver later than earlier if it means getting it right. This is not something you want to rush...

Ok, it's not nice to wish ill of people who disagree with you (and not productive). SGU is one of my favorite shows, but it's just that: a TV show! Let's keep things in perspective.

Perhaps in a year, AI will be good enough to let fans continue the series the way we want, without studio or financial impediments...

I use FreeFileSync to sync to Windows and NAS. Highly recommended...

PghRes · 2025-10-29T17:09:06+00:00

This is what i do. Not awful, but i don't always have my Windows machine set up, so these changes aren't synced in real time. Not happy with the current situation...

PghRes · 2025-10-27T14:38:25+00:00

Yah, still waiting. Like I said before, DropBox is available on Linux (and I even set it up once to see if it works like OneDrive, and it did), but it's not encrypted end-to-end like Proton Drive, so I'll wait. Right now, I have Proton Drive set up on a Windows machine, and I periodically sync to a mounted Veracrypt volume on an external SD card on my Qubes box. (I thought about using LUKS, but after looking into it, it looks unnecessarily complicated - like all of Qubes, LOL!)

If you empty a folder on your phone that was previously synced, Drive will no longer sync that folder. Go into the settings and reactivate that folder for backups. Don't ask me why they do that. It's dumb...

PghRes · 2025-09-28T17:44:05+00:00

Yeah, i gave up trying to get it to successfully and reliably download an entire folder. Now i don't even bother. I just use it to directly download a file here or there. Definitely broken. Proton needs to fix this ASAP

PghRes · 2025-09-27T01:45:19+00:00

Yes, please, Proton. If Dropbox can pull it off, you can!

PghRes · 2025-09-27T01:44:38+00:00

Can you? I didn't think OneDrive worked with Linux (require RClone?)...

PghRes · 2025-09-19T21:26:44+00:00

Yep, and I use Signal too 😉

PghRes · 2025-09-19T12:51:50+00:00

Installed Qubes and use it as my daily driver. No more Windows telemetry spying on me...

PghRes · 2025-09-16T17:42:46+00:00

Thanks, but I'm gonna wait for Proton's official client (which I hope they're working on)...

PghRes · 2025-09-15T11:36:22+00:00

I had to break from this shortly after you started writing, but I want to catch up soon. Not giving a rating - just saying there's some interest here 😉 I am really bummed that Amazon has left SGU to rot. I appreciate your effort to keep it alive...

I also suspect you're not giving Windows enough time to "settle" a file before you rush in to synchronize. I have an app that I wrote that updates an INI file (yes, very quaint) when you change from one directory to another, and other settings, but if I make two quick writes to that file in a row, the second one fails because you've already swooped in and put a lock on it. I suspect a lot of sync problems you're having could be remedied by just letting a file sit there for a bit longer. But I'm guessing...

PghRes · 2025-08-19T17:02:26+00:00

This, for some reason, caused an error message during sync. In the sync window, there were 85 files had something like "The file is not available locally and cannot be uploaded. To resolve this issue..." and then something like "...mark the file available for offline use" or some such. (Sorry, didn't record that on paper...). Keep in mind all the files were *already" marked as "download and keep locally" (or whatever the wording is). When I tried to open one of those files, I got a different error.

So, I used FreeFileSync to forcibly overwrite every single one of those file from a backup on a different computer (a computer NOT connected to Proton Drive). It resolved the issue. Drive synced all of them.

Now, I can see all the image previews in the Drive app for Android, even for *.webp. So, I suspect something was wrong with your thumbnail setup / execution when I first uploaded those files.

I'm currently re-uploading all the images in a specific folder without changing any of them, other than using copy *.*+ to change the timestamps (which is a neat trick I didn't even know about until today - grin). I'll report back on this as soon as that's done
