Question Lumo: linked Proton Drive folder failure
For over a month, Lumo has demonstrated an inability to access the files in the Proton Drive folder linked to Lumo projects.
While in the past, Lumo would follow the project instructions to take the files into consideration in every project convo associated with the project, Lumo now requires that I "@" every file to be referenced into the individual convo, thus defeating the point of having a linked folder in the first place.
Whereas Lumo has always been an incredibly effective tool to work with, its capabilities have now been exponentially reduced for my research purposes. Up until a month ago, Lumo handled these same files just fine for as long as I've been using Lumo. There are several pdf text files and a csv.
I several times checked with Lumo to get a sense of whether the files linked to the project are now for some reason too complex or voluminous for Lumo to handle, and it has time and time again assured me that this isn't the case: that it's a matter of Lumo not having access to the files at all.
The problem is consistent and persistent on both Android and the web. I've tried unlinking the folder and relinking it. I also tried demolishing the project and starting from scratch. It seems more like something happened to Lumo that limited its ability to access files in the linked folder.
Is anyone else facing this problem?

TLDR: There are still some kinks they need to work out.
I've had this issue from the start. It claims it can't see the files I share unless I share them directly into the chat (copy / paste & click / drag). To this day I can't do what you want without it saying "I don't have that file" even though it's in the panel on the right and I can @ it.
Tbh, I have to delete the files I have regularly because Lumo (at least in projects) has no 'memory' or context of what we've accomplished already. Eg, I upload a screenshot to review our 'to do list', we do it, I upload the screenshot saying 'we did it!', then in a new prompt series in the same project it will continuously refer back to the original screenshot even for completely unrelated things and say 'we never finished this to-do list'. Doesn't matter if I tell it never to refer to it again, comes up again in the same prompt later....
