Proton has a rather "curious" interaction with the word "open source".
Most of the time, they wait to release the source code of their products around the time a specific version is released, and perform active work on a hidden or private clone tree.
It's better than other companies, but isn't the type of open source you typically see with most FOSS projects.
As for ProtonDrive, I don't see the source code anywhere (other than Android/iOS version). Where are you seeing this? I'm assuming both offerings use Windows/macOS specific APIs (at least I hope), so you'd need to go through a large amount of engineering effort to get it working with Linux, and that's before even choosing how to implement it. FUSE driver? Nautilus extension? Electron web app?
- butz 3y agoI was looking into source code of Android app [1], as it is supposed to be current version of app on Google Play Store. Of course the local build failed, even after adding required properties file that readme did not mention. Source for web app [2] is archived, maybe it was merged with mail webapp? And I stumbled upon Celeste [3], but it has bug reports about not being able to connect to ProtonDrive.
