ProtonDrive unavailable

[shdwchn10]

When I open ProtonDrive I get this error:

ProtonDrive in Firefox works.
I tried to remove all ElectronMail data (rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.github.vladimiry.ElectronMail) and login again but it didn't help.

Proton Subscription: Visionary
ElectronMail version: v4.10.2 (Flatpak)
OS: Fedora Silverblue 33

There is not a lot I can do about ProtonDrive since I don't have accounts with enabled access to this service. What at the moment is done regarding ProtonDrive is just packing the respective @ProtonMail web client into the app.

When I open ProtonDrive I get this error:

That doesn't look like an error but a custom warning setup by @ProtonMail saying that your account doens't have the access to the service yet.

I also experience the error, but my account does have access to ProtonDrive through the browser

[vladimiry]

Marking the issue as a bug then but won't be doing anything to fix it until I my account gets access to the ProtonDrive service.

[vladimiry]

I did a brief debugging and have noticed that there is no is-paid-user=1 cookie set in the app when the /api/drive/shares API gets requested. The call to this API depending on the outcome triggers the demonstrated warning displaying. The reason of cookie issue is that @electron doesn't work well with the JS-based cookies on the pages loaded on file:// or custom schemes. Not saying yet that this is the issue cause but this is a clear difference in comparison with a regular browser use.

[vladimiry]

Another possible reason aside from the above-named cookies stuff is that in the browser you signing via @ProtonMail SSO but in the app that SSO thing is not used by design. I've approached @ProtonMail regarding the issue but they were not very helpful so far (the specific "plus" user case was listed but not resolved yet).

I have exactly the same problem but with a different error message.

However, if I connect directly without going through electron-mail I have full access to protondrive.

Same issue here, says I need to upgrade, while I already own a visionary account.

[vladimiry]

I assumed in #377 (comment) that Drive service is designed to be only available for users who have signed in into the account via the SSO login scenario. @mmso can you or someone on the team confirm or deny this assumption? СС @bartbutler.

I received a mail confirming Proton Drive is already available in beta for free users (maybe just a soft release at this moment). Could you please check it out again? I would love to have Proton Drive in my desktop.

Cheers.

Edit: it's working fine in web.

I'm back to confirm that Protondrive is working for me. It seems they have fixed the login process for this service!

Thanks to @vladimiry for all the work he is doing with this app.

Cheers.

@Dvlnst thanks for observing the Protondrive availability in the app and putting the update here. So apparently @ProtonMail has finally fixed the above-mentioned "access scope"-related issue at their backend. Closing the issue as resolved.
