No thumbnails when using Drive with rclone?
It seems like when uploading pictures to Proton Drive via rclone instead of the web ui, the pictures' thumbnails never get generated. Has anybody found a way of triggering the thumbnail generation, without re-uploading everything?

What is this rclone version you're speaking off? I use webview and it crashes whenever I upload images
Rclone published a beta integration reimplementing proton's client code

I'm currently using the binary from their GitHub repository (v1.64.2). The Proton Drive backend was added in 1.64.0.
You can open a ticket on GitHub. Its essentially supported by one guy who reverse engineered their internal API. This is their reverse engineered API library that rclone depends on:

On a related note, proton is adding photos support. Maybe they changed something with their API for photos since the author reverse engineered it due to this.
