Proton Drive for macOS is Proton’s official macOS client repository for end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, designed to provide a desktop experience that integrates naturally with macOS while keeping sync logic transparent and inspectable. The project explicitly separates responsibilities into two major development targets: a menu bar app and a File Provider extension that handles file synchronization operations, reflecting Apple’s modern approach to cloud file integration on macOS. It is built using Xcode and an Xcode workspace, with setup steps that walk through provisioning profiles for multiple targets, which is typical for macOS apps that include extensions and background components. The repository includes practical debugging guidance for attaching to the File Provider process, acknowledging real-world complexity in extension debugging and system integration.

...Written primarily in Swift with Apple platform conventions, this client lets users authenticate with their Proton accounts, select server locations, and manage advanced privacy features like automatic reconnection and DNS leak protection, tailored for Apple’s networking APIs. Because iOS and macOS have strict networking and extension models, the app uses system VPN configurations and integrates with native controls for background operation, seamless switching, and efficient battery usage. It supports both free and premium tiers of ProtonVPN, offering users flexible connection options while preserving Proton’s strict no-logs privacy policies.
