v0.1.0b4 — fourth beta
Pre-release
Pre-release
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 sizes —
photo timeline -dexposes 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 uploadaccepts 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 19:26:54in 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-driveupdate - 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.shhandles this for you
Bug reports and PRs welcome — see the README for setup and the current roadmap.
