Description of issue

Hi 👋

Thank you for creating this awesome product.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. Please let me know if there's a better place to post this question.

If I download the DMG installation file for Proton Drive from this page: https://proton.me/drive/download
The application sets up and runs properly.

But when I install via brew install proton-drive, the application cannot create the Proton Drive folder in the file system.

Both versions were 1.4.0.8600.

Any ideas on what I should do to further troubleshoot?

Thank you for your time and help 🙏

Can you please explain what you mean by, "cannot create the Proton Drive folder in the file system"?

Thank you for your help on this.

When I install by manually downloading the DMG file, the installation process automatically creates the "Proton Drive" folder depicted in the following image from this page: https://proton.me/support/de/proton-drive-macos-setup#:~:text=You%20can%20download%20the%20app,will%20guide%20you%20with%20instructions.&text=Drag%20and%20drop%20the%20Proton%20Drive%20icon%20into%20the%20Applications%20folder.

When I install it via brew, that folder is not automatically created.

Thank you again for your help on this 🙏
