    Will the Linux version expose your files at the filesystem level, or just through an Electron GUI or similar? A proper Linux integration, IMHO, should let you run shell commands and scripts on the files as if they were local.

      I only learnt about jottacloud today, so I honestly don’t know, but would their cli tool do what you’re asking?

      They already have a CLI that does that. The desktop app survey asks if they should keep it that way with the desktop app too. So, I guess you should voice your opinion on the matter.

    They’re also a great replacement for Backblaze.

    Anybody reaching for their credit cards to sign up should just be aware that Jotta has an “AI” “feature” in their web UI. I splurged on a year’s subscription before I realised.

      Isn’t it completely optional? I remember it being an opt in.

      It also has support to open word documents in office 365 but it warns if you try to use it that it will transfer your document to Microsoft to be able to open it, so I think they care about privacy enough.
