    Proton Drive already has a CLI built with linux users in mind by the Proton AG team...

      Thanks for this. Been with Proton a while and they're not great at letting their customers know of new products. Either that or they are too successful at filtering their own marketing email.

      To the OP: Proton is privacy first. I use their tools for a reason, trusting file transfer to a third party would never happen even with an open code base.

      It's fine if the tool is for yourself, great for your CV and well done for shipping something. HN can at times be a cruel place, think of this as a learning experience.

        > great for your CV

        Caveat I am not a SWE. Is there any value in having AI developed tools on your CV?

            Before AI, it at most showed an interest in coding outside of work. There's a 'passion' element that might be interesting to recruiters but there's not much more to it than that.

          A command line access tool is very different from a mounting tool.

            Why let things like "this thing already exists" get in the way of reinventing the wheel with AI?

              I don't really care what you do with AI on your own computer for yourself but top tier irony sharing this around with this post on your blog: https://blog.lsantos.dev/en/backlog-10-slopware-the-end-of-w...

                What does this offer over using rclone? If it’s not significant functionality, why not make pull requests there?

                  Good on OP for being transparent with how it was built

                    There is no way I'm going to entrust my data to a vibe coded tool. Sorry man, you seem proud of it but it's a nonstarter for me.

                      well, scrap that

                      Last time I tried ProtonDrive(years ago), the speeds were complete dogshit, I could barely surpass 10 MB/s on a half gig fibre line. Anyone used it recently, and if so has it improved?

                        I’m not a customer and don’t know but IIRC they’ve been rewriting the storage API or whatever it is and it should resolve that exact problem.
