Enable 'rclone' to give you access to the Proton Drive as part of the Mac file system, or produce a Terminal app yourselves.
I've used the command-line program 'rclone' to show my Proton Drive as part of my Mac file system, so I can backup files from a Terminal. It's dead slow, but it worked. Then, two days ago, I ran
rclone mount proton: ~/ProtonDrive \
--vfs-cache-mode writes \
--tpslimit 0.3 \
--transfers 1 \
--checkers 1 \
--low-level-retries 1 \
--timeout 10s \
--daemon --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true
and it said
"CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "proton:": couldn't initialize a new proton drive instance: 422 POST https://mail.proton.me/api/auth/v4: We are detecting potentially abusive traffic coming from your network and have temporarily blocked logins. If you believe this is in error, please contact us here: https://proton.me/support/appeal-abuse (Code=2028, Status=422)"
I went to that URL and filled in the form. No response, and it still doesn't work, 48 hours later. There is no abusive traffic on my network. I'm using Proton VPN.

Issue resolved. Gemini told me that you have an app for Mac desktop, so I downloaded it, and it could connect my Proton Drive to my Mac file system.
