Hello.
If creating a graphical user interface application is too much work, at least you can install a console version that runs in the background, like a service, with a console command to manage and configure your ProtonDrive account. For example:

user@machine:~/user/$ protonDrive -start-service
protonDrive: service started
user@machine:~/user/$protonDrive -config -rootFolder './Documents/ProtonDrive'
protonDrive: Root folder configured in '/home/user/Documents/ProtonDrive'
protonDrive: All files and folders you store in the specified folder will be synced to your other devices.

I hope you make the decision soon, and thank you very much for your work in support of privacy and ease of use for everyone.

Can we at the very least get an api or authentication method we can at least use with rclone (passkey support for 2fa at least so we can get the authentication working) ?

I'm a paid proton unlimited subscriber and primarily a Linux user, we really need a client asap as i enjoy the other services i don't want to have to shop around for alternatives.

I have just made the payment to (finally, at least that's what I thought) make the switch from Google services to Proton. I have to admit I'm disappointed at how little Linux user integration there is within Proton (which of course, I should have checked before paying for anything)

Please, make apps for Arch Linux (Drive, Pass, etc)

What I find rather strange is that smaller E2ee storage companies like Filen.io are perfectly capable to produce a Linux client. If Proton waits too long, my data will move since I am no longer willing to rely on any software that does not also support Linux. That way I can move OS as needed.

Time for all these win laptops to go to Linux. Before long it will no longer be acceptable not to offer a Linux solution.

With so many windows laptops going obsolete (our first win11 one already ends 10/24), it really is time to move on. A native Linux app is for that essential...

pCloud has an appimage. Pretty sure the Proton people should be able to have a decent Proton Drive app for a GNU/Linux distro (Arch Linux here)

Waiting...Waiting...

This is why I dont have a (family) paid account...

I agree to this and all the comments. I just don't think the desktop files (in ~/Desktop) are more important than other directories. So I suggest the sync should be configurable. E.g. add a ~/.proton/drive/sync file in which you list all files and directories that should be synced (with possibility to also add exceptions). This method also makes it easy to update the configuration via scripts (provided the config file is well structured). Some notification feature added to this would also be nice, e.g. if you remove, move or rename a directory or file which is on the sync list.

Native Linux FS client: it's there for Windows and Apple, now we need it for Linux. Actually, we needed it yesterday. If it doesn't show up soon, I'll probably dump Proton Drive and go with something else.

The lack of a Linux client is the only thing stopping from me a subscription service. I really want to move off Dropbox but need Linux support.

The only thing that keeps me from fully migrating to Proton is the absence of an official Drive client for Linux (mainly Debian/Ubuntu but Fedora/OpenSuse would be great as well). Sure, there are ways of achieving this, but it seems a bit ironic to have to use a 3rd party solution to access a privacy-oriented service :)

Same situation than Ivo with Infomaniak

In addition to paying for Proton Unlimited, I'm paying a separate subscription to Mega, just because Mega has a functional Linux client for real-time synchronisation to keep my work folders backed up and consistent across different devices.

I really ought to be able to use Proton Drive for this, given that I pay for the storage space already. Please tell me a Linux client is coming soon.

My computer is not supported by Windows 11. As such, since Windows 10 is no longer supported by October, I either need to buy a new computer, or switch to Linux.

As my computer still works fine, I decided to switch to Linux.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be Linux client for Proton Drive.

This would be a critical functionality for me to keep my paid account.

Therefore, I support the call for the development of a Linux client for Proton Drive; especially since I can imagine many users are in the same situation with the phase out of windows 10.

Are not there a rout map on this important development?
