from the team:


Hi everyone,

At Proton, privacy and transparency have always been our top priorities. Today, we’re happy to announce that all Proton Drive apps are now fully open source.

Proton products are used by millions of users across the globe, our users deserve a promise of privacy that they can trust and verify for themselves

Why Open Source?

Transparency

You can now independently verify how Proton Drive safeguards your data.

Security

With the global community reviewing and improving our code, we benefit from innovative new security practices as soon as they’re available.

Trust

Don’t just take our word for it—you can inspect our apps yourself and see that your privacy is built-in by design.

We invite developers, security experts, and privacy advocates to explore, review, and contribute to our code on GitHub:

Ditto. I thought I’d finally found a good OneDrive replacement for my meager needs.

Unfortunately, no. I just have it bookmarked in Firefox and just do it the old fashioned way. 😆

“You want Linux support? Fork it yourself”

In all seriousness this is great for end users and devs alike, another reason I like the Proton suite of tools

There are very few companies where I feel the subscription fee I’m paying is really, really, worth it.

Proton is one of them.

Really hope this leads to a proper Linux client soon. If mega can do it I have high hopes for proton.

Another cloud service provider. I’ve been hoping to switch away from them for the past year or so since proton drive is included with my proton subscription.

Get a Proton account, you can then sign up for, or disable, various email notifications.

Does this mean the RClone integration can be improved?

It feels a little hacky right now, and as I previously learned when I last recommended it does not do things like image thumbnails which turns people away.
