## Trust Through Open-Source

With the recent announcement, Proton has **open-sourced the code** for both the **Android and iOS apps** of Proton Drive.

This move by Proton is a good one, especially when **Proton Drive seems to be a better pick than the likes of Google Drive and OneDrive** for privacy-focused users.

Furthermore**, Proton Drive has an added advantage** over the aforementioned proprietary cloud storage services as the apps are now open-source.

To dive deeper, you can check out the [iOS](https://github.com/ProtonDriveApps/ios-drive?ref=itsfoss.com) and [Android](https://github.com/ProtonDriveApps/android-drive?ref=itsfoss.com) app's code on GitHub.

Not just limited to the source code, they also mentioned that Proton Drive apps had **passed independent security audits** by [SEC Consult](https://sec-consult.com/?ref=itsfoss.com), a known European IT security company.

Now, Proton Drive users can breathe a sigh of relief. Pictures of my dogs are in safe hands! 🐕

## Proton Drive Desktop Apps Next in Line

Proton has also shared updates on desktop apps for Proton Drive.

A stable release of the **Proton Drive app for Windows is planned for release soon**. Beta testing is ongoing with a limited number of testers.

You might be thinking, **what about Linux?**

Well, there has been no official confirmation for a Linux app yet.

But, Proton has a habit of making their apps available on all platforms, so **you should expect it down the line**.

Both these apps are likely to become open source at some point after their respective releases.
