Drive API is critical for backup utilities. I want to use Duplicati

Yes please. Make Proton Drive finally useful!

This is over four years old, can we get a response from Proton?

Same here. Critical feature for a cloud provider. I appreciate the security considerations, but this is needed badly.

An API would allow to properly integrate Proton Drive to backup solutions like Duplicati in order to run automated backups to a secure storage.
Until this is possible other commercial cloud storage vendors remain more viable for this use case.

Existing options using rclone create so many errors that my proton drive storage is totally useless to me (P.S. I don't do photos!)

We need this so bad...

Duplicati user here. I want to backup to you, not to Google Drive.

This should probably be moved to PLANNED or STARTED status (as appropriate), since it was announced in the November 2024 roadmap that Proton is building a Drive SDK.

Presently I'm giving this a "Critical" vote, due to the complete lack of a Drive app for Linux.

És molt bona idea; seria genial per poder implementar-ho en formularis web, utilitzant l'emmagatzematge a ProtonDrive per crear backends i bases de dades d'usuaris, etc... a un preu assequible. Aviam si en endavant podem comptar amb un "Proton Apps Script" !!!

Yes, please give us an API and authentication method we can use with open source tools like rclone

My basic need is to strictly manage identities. There is a crucial gap, in my opinion. I notice that to use Proton Drive (and ProtonVPN) securely, we need to be able to use an identity without having to share the main secret of our ProtonMail account. However, this seems unavoidable, as it is also the secret for ProtonDrive and ProtonVPN (using rclone and the 'obscure' directive is not enough to ensure sufficient protection). A solution would be for Proton to comply with OIDC/OAuth2, allowing us to use Proton Identities and Aliases in authentication and authorization protocols based on their own service infrastructures, i.e., without relying on external elements to enable integration that would then need to be verified and maintained with the associated secret management. We are aware that this business direction requires some investment and preparation to meet the demand that would certainly follow. But it seems already taken since a Business offer of Proton Drive is established. This offer cannot reasonably operate without these additional shared services, which are certainly already operating in your billable services. Your business model is indeed at stake, but you need to start by aligning these elements and responding to the community. It is clear that you face the same challenges of functional evolution with a highly visible security aspect, and we understand the required caution. Looking forward to your response.

Essential if the Proton team isn't comfortable or able to make a native Linux drive application. At least let the community have what it needs to build a functioning application.

I highly agree, This would allow a third party to create a syncing system

Any update from Proton on this? Seems like a simple request.

I want to use keepass2android with proton drive

I would consider upgrading to a paid membership for this.

This is critical for cloud management for me

This is exactly what keeps me from committing to Proton.
I whant to move to Proton Family, and the only thing it's missing is to connect Proton Drive with my Synology.
