Based on your post I tried with 3 different browsers, on a wired and wireless connection (I have great internet speeds). But it’s all the same result. I assume it’s a Proton limitation.

I’ll check it out! It seems nice. Self hosting is kind of difficult for me, as I am not that into IT anymore. It might be a nice solution.

Exactly! The support team did acknowledge that there are known issues if you download 500 items at once. I had these issues even at 300 files. Only with batches of 100 it worked well. They really need to figure this out. Proton Drive is their worst product.

I think I kind of located the problem. The reason it kept failing on Safari was probably an Apple thing (I am even so more done with Apple than anything else). I assume Safari kept sleeping the tabs because it assumed no activity. It didn’t keep them open in memory. Therefore all downloads failed. I am now doing the last part, which is 60GB of photo’s of my Asia travel. I forgot to look at my Mac, it locked itself and after 30GB the download failed again (in Firefox). I assume Firefox doesn’t reload tabs automatically so the larger files keep going.

However, I still think Proton should make it easier for us to export media. This seems no different than the walled Apple garden. Once you go in, you can get out very difficult.

I have never been so disappointed in a company. I’m going to close this account after I’m done downloading and I’ll transfer my email to Tuta.
