New update gives businesses a flexible way to automate backups, file management, and deployment workflows while maintaining Proton Drive’s end-to-end encryption
Proton today announced an update to the Proton Drive Command Line Interface (CLI), expanding its functionality to give businesses more ways to automate file management, backups, and deployment workflows while maintaining strong privacy and security.
The Proton Drive CLI allows businesses to interact with their cloud storage directly through a terminal. Instead of manually handling files or relying on a desktop application, organizations can use commands and scripts to automate tasks such as backing up files, uploading and downloading content, organizing files, and sharing them.
For businesses managing sensitive information, manual file handling can introduce inconsistencies and create potential gaps in security. Automation helps make workflows more reliable and repeatable while ensuring files remain protected by Proton Drive’s end-to-end encryption.
With the updated CLI, businesses can integrate Proton Drive into existing scripts, backup processes, and deployment pipelines without having to write custom applications. This provides organizations with a fast and flexible way to incorporate encrypted cloud storage into their workflows.
“The launch of Proton Drive CLI brings the power of encrypted cloud storage to your terminal. For businesses dealing with secure and private data, automation reinforces security and removes the risks of manual handling. But prioritising efficiency no longer means having to sacrifice data protection. With Proton Drive CLI, businesses can share files, script workflows, and deploy pipelines knowing all data is end-to-end encrypted and the contents is only visible to you.” said Anant Singh, Product Director – Drive, Inbox & Lumo at Proton.
The Proton Drive CLI is built on the same privacy-focused foundation as Proton’s other products. Proton Drive uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that only users and the people they authorize can access the contents of their files. Proton itself cannot access the contents of end-to-end encrypted files.
Proton Drive is also open source and independently audited, providing additional transparency around the technology behind the service. Both the Proton Drive CLI and its software development kit (SDK) are publicly available on GitHub, allowing businesses and developers to examine and integrate the tools into their own workflows.
The update gives businesses a way to combine the convenience of cloud automation with the privacy protections of end-to-end encryption, helping organizations reduce manual processes without compromising the security of sensitive data.
