An API for ProtonDrive would allow individuals and the community to build tools that would make ProtonDrive more beneficial for users. Honestly a simple REST API would do the job.
One API feature that would be really nice if feasible is a way to store a tiny amount of metadata with each file, or retrieve the hash of a file without downloading its content. The use case is for folks writing tools for backing up and syncing data with ProtonDrive, this would provide an easy mechanism to perform rsync like tasks without having to either download and hash the file (unlikely) or implement some sort of manifest file per folder that contains the current hashes of the uploaded folder.
I doubt this makes votes matter anymore, but I'm a Visionary plan member. I know the money from our plan helps fund the amazing R&D coming out of Proton. This is definitely a feature that I would think is a game changer.
