Encrypted cloud storage for your terminal.
Proton Drive CLI is here. Bring encrypted cloud storage to your scripts, backups, and pipelines. No code required. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux


Your pipeline, now with end-to-end encryption
From release notes to client deliverables, the data moving through your scripts deserves the same protection as everything else. Proton Drive CLI brings end-to-end encryption to the terminal. Only you hold the keys — not even Proton can see what you store.

Cloud storage that puts you in control
Default end-to-end encryption
Every upload, download, and share from the CLI carries the same cryptographic guarantees as the Proton Drive app.

Works anywhere you have a shell
SSH session, CI runner, local terminal. If you can run a binary, you can run Proton Drive.

Structured output for your stack
Use --json to pipe results into jq, log to your monitoring tools, or trigger downstream actions.

Proton Drive vs. Big Tech alternatives
Most teams bridge the gap between cloud storage and their pipelines with one-off scripts or manual steps. Proton Drive CLI replaces that with an encrypted, fully interoperable tool.
