How is customer experience with Proton Drive lately? Does it compare well to a Dropbox or iCloud?

@beckett I finally bailed on Proton entirely late last year, in part because Proton Drive's sync *sucked ass* -- it was slow as balls, so much so that trying to actually open and edit files in the synced folder would routinely lead to weird save conflicts and bizarre temp files left lying around.

So: If your working model is that you stick stuff in the Drive sync folder and treat it as a sort of backup -- sure. But if your working model is like you'd have with iCloud or Dropbox -- the folder *is* your working folder and you expect to edit files locally & have the changes sync rapidly -- then it is a dismal failure.

@rossgrady Thank you for explaining that so clearly. I need to figure out my use case a bit better.
