Proxy server support

Any plans to make odrive work across a proxy server? Dropbox/google have this functionality, and it appears odrive does not. It lowers the value proposition for someone to make the switch when they use cloud storage in a work environment.

Is that feature still not developed or are there alternative ways to define an outbound proxy via an environment variable, etc.

How do I send a diagnostic?

To send a diagnostic: On Windows: Open up the odrive tray menu, located in the Windows taskbar Click on “Send diagnostics”, located at the bottom of the me…

If it doesn’t go through, please attached the local file that is created, here.

Hi @thomas0322,
odrive had some changes made to try to support the os-defined proxy (see above post).

If you are currently having issues with a proxy, please create a new thread and send in our troubleshooting category and send a diagnostic from the odrive tray menu.
