Proton Drive Now Has a CLI **[It's Foss](https://daily.dev/sources/itsfoss)** · 3 min read · 3 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Proton Drive now has an official CLI tool available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Built on the Proton Drive SDK, it supports file upload, download, browsing, trash management, and sharing. Output can be plain text or JSON for scripting. It lacks a built-in sync engine but can be paired with cron or systemd timers for automated syncing. Authentication is handled securely via libsecret. The binary is available as a pre-built download or can be built from source on GitHub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
