Installing Pre-release Versions

Pre-release packages

Pre-release packages (proton-drive-sync-prerelease) allow you to test upcoming features before stable release. They conflict with the stable package, so only one can be installed at a time.

macOS

brew tap DamianB-BitFlipper/tap
brew install proton-drive-sync-prerelease

Debian / Ubuntu

# Add repository (if not already added)
echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.damianb.dev/apt/ * *" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proton-drive-sync.list
sudo apt update

# Install prerelease
sudo apt install proton-drive-sync-prerelease

Fedora / RHEL / CentOS

# Add repository (if not already added)
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/proton-drive-sync.repo << 'EOF'
[proton-drive-sync]
name=Proton Drive Sync
baseurl=https://repo.damianb.dev/yum/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF

# Install prerelease
sudo dnf install proton-drive-sync-prerelease

Arch Linux (AUR)

On Arch Linux and derivatives, install from the AUR package:

# Install via yay
yay -S proton-drive-sync-prerelease-bin

# Install via paru
paru -S proton-drive-sync-prerelease-bin

Manual Installation

Download the pre-release tarball for your platform from GitHub Releases and extract it:

# Example for macOS arm64
tar -xzf proton-drive-sync-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
sudo mv proton-drive-sync /usr/local/bin/

Switching Between Stable and Pre-release

The packages conflict with each other, so installing one will automatically remove the other:

# Switch to prerelease
sudo apt install proton-drive-sync-prerelease

# Switch back to stable
sudo apt install proton-drive-sync

Usage

Dashboard

The dashboard runs locally at http://localhost:4242. Use it to configure and manage the sync client.

Commands

Command	Description
proton-drive-sync setup	Interactive setup wizard (recommended for first run)
proton-drive-sync auth	Authenticate with Proton
proton-drive-sync start	Start the sync daemon

proton-drive-sync status	Show sync status

Uninstall
