@al3xg0r al3xg0r released this 06 Sep 09:17

Unofficial desktop GUI wrapper around the official Proton Drive CLI. Not affiliated with Proton AG.

✨ What's new

  • Grid view overhaul — real fixed grid layout (was ragged/uneven before), color-coded icons (amber folders, blue photos, red videos, grey files) drawn at full size instead of upscaled from small icons, filenames elided to keep the extension visible, card-style tiles
  • Photos: real filenames and sizesphoto timeline -d exposes real names/sizes/media type, so Photos no longer shows bare capture-time placeholders; videos get a distinct icon from photos
  • Folder drag & drop — confirmed against the official CLI docs that filesystem upload accepts folders directly; drag & drop in My files now supports whole folders, not just individual files
  • Simplified navigation — removed the always-visible Path bar in favor of a compact "Go to path…" button next to the breadcrumbs, for the cases (like /devices) with no sidebar shortcut
  • Human-readable timestamps — dates now show as 2026-07-02 19:26:54 in your local time zone, instead of raw UTC ISO 8601 (2026-07-02T19:26:54.000Z)
  • New app icon — a cloud with an upload arrow, replacing the earlier folder-and-padlock design
  • License — MIT plus a requirement that forks/redistributions keep a visible link back to this repository

⚠️ Known limitations

  • Linux only
  • No account name or storage quota shown (the CLI doesn't expose them)
  • No real image/video thumbnails in the Photos grid — confirmed impossible without a full-file download; the CLI only generates thumbnails on upload for the official apps' own use
  • Progress bar and Photos download rely on undocumented CLI behavior — may break on a future proton-drive update
  • Delete/rename/restore not available in the Photos or Shared views
  • No folder-sync feature yet (postponed — see Roadmap)

📋 Requirements

  • Linux, Python 3.10+
  • The official Proton Drive CLI./install.sh handles this for you

Bug reports and PRs welcome — see the README for setup and the current roadmap.
