How can we improve Proton Drive?

← Proton Drive

Proton Drive API

It would be amazing to have an API (like https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk) to be able to make scripts that could automate uploading important files to ProtonDrive using a language like Python or similar.

    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 would consider upgrading to a paid membership for this.

    This is critical for cloud management for me

  • S. Malfe commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

    A public Proton Drive API would allow integration with web apps that edit 'documents' (or any file really).
    I have been working on a spreadsheet web app so I can move some of my important personal spreadsheets out of Excel/Dropbox/Google Sheets, and ideally I can plug into Proton Drive to edit and save my data securely.

    This is a huge issue for me. I want to be able to store these backups off site in a secure environment. If I'm already paying for this service, I want to make use of it in an automated way. I could code this comfortably, but need an API to do it.

    I want to safely store the audio and video of surveillance cameras of my home but I don't trust any provider. I want it to be saved within Proton Drive, and could code it if you had an API...

    I would like to integrate apps I build and use with Proton Drive. I saw some apps using Google Drive storage to sync across devices, and I want to do kind of the same, either with a general API or one specific to third-party app data storage.

    I think this other idea is also related to this use case : https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/46848133-3rd-party-drive-api-sdk

    I am a Visionary user and I would love to have this! It would allow me to utilize my ~6TB of storage space for automated backup purposes using rclone. Existing experimental API probably does not work with Sentinel.

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Report

    API will help ensure data privacy and durability to manage my own backups

  • rustpd commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a missing piece for me to really switch to Proton Drive. It would be cool if the API could be designed like github apps.

  • J commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes I would love to see this! I'm thinking about an automatic backup system for Immich!

  • i BeHeard commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is exactly what keeps me from committing to Proton.
    I want to easily integrate Proton with my Synology. As long as I have to pay for another service just for backing up my Synology, the price for Proton is just too much.

  • Russ Savela commented  ·   ·  Report

    Basically useless without an API. Will be using S3 until there is one.

  • Kefia commented  ·   ·  Report

    If I can't use Cyberduck to upload files, Proton Drive is useless to me.
