- Proton Drive CLI is now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, offering command-line access to Proton Drive's cloud storage with end-to-end encryption.
- The CLI is built on the Proton Drive SDK and integrates with scripts, backups, and deployment pipelines without requiring code, complementing but not replacing the full desktop app.
- Key features include file and folder management (upload/download, trash), sharing and invitations, and support for machine-friendly JSON output for automation.
- Typical use cases include automated uploads after builds, scheduled backups, and access management, making it ideal for terminal users and team workflows.
- Future updates will add support for photos/albums, secure public links, and multi-account functionality, with the long-term goal of matching app capabilities on the command line.
- Users can download pre-built binaries or build from source using TypeScript and Bun, with secure browser-based sign-in and OS-managed session storage.
