rclone supports Proton Drive, no need to run a Windows VM for that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This, or you could just symlink a folder in your home to wherever a wine prefix would be to run it.
I have tried r clone and I keep getting the error about the account being locked out and never connects and I get a similar issue with Celeste.
Just turn off the vm (shutdown the windows install running in the vm, not pause), mount the vm block device, navigate to the file and get it that way.
Are you using qemu?
Alternately, since the vm has network access, just use ssh from your windows vm to scp your files from the windows vm to the Linux host.
No I am using gnome boxes
alright, good news, you probably are using qemu. the disk images (that’s the hard drives for the vm) are usually in the .local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ in your home directory. if the images are .qcow2 files then you’re running qemu.
Honestly I just use OnionShare or syncthing. Its excessive but it just works
iirc, virtiofs and spice https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/
virtiofs is amazing, got my entire Steam library on it. It's like it's not there, NVMe speeds no problem.
Virtiofs is very good
I only use a Windows VM For our ancient (in computer terms) Canon LIDE 60 scanner which seems to work best there (linux produces highly grey contrasted scans).
For all of our scanned documents from the scanner, I have it mapped to a network drive via Samba Shares. Since you are using Fedora, I think you may already have Cockpit installed. This makes it a lot easier and is a web gui to manage servers. You can usually access it on your Desktop via https://localhost.9090 Then you would need to install 45 Drives File Sharing plugin and setup a SAMBA share.
From the Windows VM, just map to the same workgroup you set in the SAMBA Share you created and give it a drive ID such as F:
This seems like it might work but I can't seem work out do you have a guide i can look up ?
First, confirm if you can access Cockpit by going to the https://localhost:9090, If not, follow the Fedora instructions here: Having some familiarity with Command Line is essential. Your graphical package manager may or may not include Cockpit.
https://cockpit-project.org/running#fedora
Cockpit does sometimes allow you to install "plugins" from the web GUI, but in my experience (both on Debian and Arch), it doesn't do it to well. If you can't install plugins for 45 Drives file sharing plugin, you will need to do it manually:
For the 45 Drives plugin to enable sharing: https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-file-sharing (I believe it's the "Direct from .rpm" section if you scroll down in the Readme)
From there, once you are logged into Cockpit on the left you will see a link for "File Sharing"
This isn't as complex as it may seem as long as you follow their steps you should be golden.
Thank you so much I will have to try that on the morning
sftp or rsync
The best way is to use a program called filezilla with sftp
