Back, Forward and Up in My files restore the folder's scroll offset and selection as they were when it was left; opening a folder any other way still starts at the top. Closing the photo viewer scrolls the grid to the photo it showed last. Alt+Left and Backspace go back a level in Shared with me and Computers and leave an open album or place; Escape leaves an album or place too, after ending selection mode. The shortcuts window lists it. A fresh Photos load, or leaving the grid for Albums or Places, ends a scrubber jump that was still paging.
Proton Drive for Linux documentation
Proton Drive for Linux is an unofficial Proton Drive client for the Linux desktop. Your Drive appears as a folder that downloads files when you open them, local folders are backed up and kept in sync, and a GTK app with a tray icon and a search launcher covers Photos, sharing and more. A command-line client does all of it from a terminal.
These pages are also published as the
