Proton Drive CLI is here, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Whoooooooo!
Because who the hell uses CLI tools on Windows and MacOS :D
The CLI is implemented in TypeScript
🤢🤢🤢
You must be kidding. The CLI is far from a web browser and there is no need to running TypeScript at all for this task. Build it in Go, Rust or Zig that is more suitable for this task.
- There’s a new proton drive CLI
- That’s good
- The CLI is implemented in TypeScript
- That’s bad
- It is available on Linux
- That’s good
- It pulls in a massive node_modules directory
- …
- That’s bad
Can I have my drive now?
With the SDK available, I hope we see kio/gfs integration.
Linux support…Finally!
One step closer to Synology HyperBackup?
Um… Disappointing. Why does it have to be CLI? It’s good for some things, not great at others.
Getting a CLI version done first is kind of a natural step forward, with GUI and desktop integration to follow next.
Getting the basic functionality working is usually an early step. Then later you build a GUI. They did the same with Proton VPN.
I have their CLI VPN client on my laptop under LMDE7. Wrote two zsh scripts to handle connection/disconnection automatically depending on my wifi connection. Very handy.
