It took me going to their GitHub to find out, but it’s GPL 3.

really appreciate you reporting back, thanks for sharing!
Why the but? GPL 3 is the correct license to use for open source projects to ensure they stay open and corps don't freeload on them.
English isn’t my first language. I share your opinion regarding the license. Which connector would you use instead of “but” to indicate that you succeeded in your efforts even though it was harder you thought it would be?
English is my only language, and yours looks fine to me. I thought it was pretty clear from the first comment that the "but" indicated success despite difficulties, and as you clarified that's exactly what you meant.

Ah gotcha, you could just omit but in this case and the sentence would have the intended meaning.

Very nice, I do hope that helps us finally get a Linux version sometime soon lol
Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.
I believe that rclone already has Proton Drive support.
It does, yeah. Still, having access to the official client too would be nice.
sad its on github but am not complaining much
can you educate me a bit about what's wrong with that?
bcs github is owned by microsoft its not that private nor open source(like git)
wow didn't even know that. they certainly are hiding it well.

You people are never satisfied!
Will they be now on FDroid? I think only one Proton app is there and it's a little bit sad.
Proton VPN and proton pass
IRRC they even removed all telemetry from pass but not VPN.
They should definitely push drive and calendar there too.
Why the fuck does their VPN have telemetry?
Telemetry is not bad in itself. It can be used for bug/crash reports, or usage statistics, without tracking or personal data collection.
It's a VPN! What did you expected? /hj
I started with their email services many years ago, and today I user their email + free calendar. To be true, they went too much far with all these apps, but as long as it works for them thats fine.
Awesome! Cant wait for their wallet thing to become ready and i hope they have support for many types of coins.. also i wish theyd make it so that proton drive work with joplin 😑
they can only support one coin legally. for details check out the Opt Out podcasts's episode about this topic
I want to make the jump from Google apps but I can't because I use GCal heavily and Proton Calendar doesn't (yet) sync to GCal. I can enter in something in GCal and it'll appear in Proton Calendar, but I can't enter in something in Proton Calendar and it shows up in GCal. Hopefully they add that soon.
