Thanks for this. Been with Proton a while and they're not great at letting their customers know of new products. Either that or they are too successful at filtering their own marketing email.
To the OP: Proton is privacy first. I use their tools for a reason, trusting file transfer to a third party would never happen even with an open code base.
It's fine if the tool is for yourself, great for your CV and well done for shipping something. HN can at times be a cruel place, think of this as a learning experience.
They released it just few days ago (maybe 2 weeks or so). I personally got a mail in my inbox for the release, but maybe it's because I have left feedback about it or something.
A very welcome news nevertheless!
Before AI, it at most showed an interest in coding outside of work. There's a 'passion' element that might be interesting to recruiters but there's not much more to it than that.
"Sign-in happens through your browser — no password on the command line."
which I can confirm having tried it myself. It's hard to imagine what the
proton devs were thinking. Did the case of using a command line tool on a
headless or remote server never occur to them?

got the email on october first, just yesterday i switched my restic backups from hetzner storagebox to proton drive. works like a charm
> great for your CV
Caveat I am not a SWE. Is there any value in having AI developed tools on your CV?
Look at the amount of AI-required jobs advertised these days. If you really like driving agents, someone will absolutely pay you to do it.

From https://proton.me/blog/proton-drive-cli :

The browser doesn't need to be running on the same machine.
A command line access tool is very different from a mounting tool.
I wish it was possible to pipe into it tho.
e.g tar -cf - * | <some unwieldly proton drive cmd>
I guess this is not possible due to the way the encryption works?
Its crap, it can’t do sync, only upload and download
Why let things like "this thing already exists" get in the way of reinventing the wheel with AI?
