Proton Drive for Linux documentation
Proton Drive for Linux is an unofficial Proton Drive client for the Linux desktop. Your Drive appears as a folder that downloads files when you open them, local folders are backed up and kept in sync, and a GTK app with a tray icon and a search launcher covers Photos, sharing and more. A command-line client does all of it from a terminal.
These pages are also published as the
wiki, generated from the
docs/ folder of the repository.
