Show HN: iCloud Drive Client for Linux, in Rust

Category: devtools

Tags: rust, icloud, linux, file-sync, gtk

Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

A Rust-based iCloud Drive client for Linux that uses the private iCloud.com web API to sync chosen folders to a local directory, with a GTK GUI, background daemon, and CLI. It fills a real gap for Linux users with iCloud, handling authentication, conflicts, and uploads/downloads with careful sync semantics.

Target audience: Linux desktop users who use iCloud and want native sync, plus developers interested in reverse-engineered iCloud API clients
