📰 Proton Drive’s new CLI brings encrypted cloud storage to scripts and servers
When most people think of “cloud storage,” a website, an app, or a linked folder in your file management system immediately comes to mind. Our interactions with the cloud are mainly through graphical interfaces. But this is, of course, not really necessary. Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are there for our benefit. When one computer speaks to another, they can forego all that decoration and get straight down to business.
