Proton Drive context menus

With Directory Opus 13, I am wondering how to enable context menu options for Proton Drive available. If you aren't familiar, Proton Drive is a cloud storage solution like Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive. Similar to those products, Proton drive offers two options on the context menu (right-click), being "Always Keep on this Device" and "Free up space". These options appear in Windows File Explorer but not in Opus 13. Since Dropbox options appear in Opus 13, I am thinking this capability can be added, but I don't know if it's something I can do, or if it is a feature GP Software would need to add in a future release. I did see one or two other posts on this, but no answers that I could find. Any help is appreciated.

The current beta version actually has some changes which might make this work now, if you want to give it try: Directory Opus 13.9.7 (Beta)

Ok, thanks. I’ll give it a try tomorrow :+1:

The changes don't seem to have made any difference, the ProtonDrive context menu is still not showing in Dopus. Could they be implementing their context menu in a non standard way? Or not setting the correct registry keys?

I’ve been in touch with the proton drive devs, and they’ve responded with this message:

It looks like Proton Drive isn't being recognised as cloud storage for some reason. Not looked into why yet, but if you go to Preferences / Folders / Special Folders and click the cloud icon to mark it as cloud storage, the menus should then appear (at least, they do for me).

Ok, I’ll give that a try when I get on my computer. Thank you

Jon, I tried this and it's not working for me. I was able to successfully mark Proton Drive as cloud, but the right-click functionality isn't there. Do I need the beta version for this to work?

Opus:

Windows Explorer:

Update:
Ok, went ahead and installed the beta... Yes, apparently the beta version is needed as once I upgraded to it, they now appear.

I've tried it, and for some reason it's not working for me: yes I have the latest beta installed of dopus, and yes I've set proton drive as cloud storage. I even have a clean install of Windows. How can I get dopus to load a default configuration to see if it's to do with my opus setup?

Thank you, I'll try a default configuration and see if that works - if it's of any use, I'm using Windows 10 - fully up to date.

Still didn't work

Please try with 13.9.8 which I think should work - it was failing to add the menus on Windows 10.

Works for me now. Thanks Jon :+1:
