2025 and still no linux client. I have an home server where my stuff sit and 500GB I pay for in Proton Drive that sit there unused because there is no way to have a script or apis from proton that allow me to backup my stuff.

What the actual ****?

Same as Ice Town below. I'm a paying customer and expected to have a Linux client by the end of 2025. This is not what I expected from Protonmail...
Still using Tresorit for my secure cloud backup.

I've been a paying customer for several years now I was really hoping that Linux would have a client for drive by now. We have access to 2tb of proton drive but its simply useless without a linux client to us.

It's ridiculous that this, a serious privacy focussed request, has to be the top voted request here, Proton "Privacy by default". How is it possible that this is not even on the roadmap yet?

I followed many of the recommendations from this article:

I now have Linux installed on my personal and work computers. I am a Visionary and Business Suite subscriber. I expected that the Linux client would be released this year but instead we've gotten a steady stream of new apps and features that I don't need nearly as much as a native Proton Drive client for Linux.

Please don't promote Linux and then refuse to develop for it.

Linux ist diejenige Option, welche noch das Entkommen aus dem KI-Hype und der Datensammelwut der Techkonzerne zu entkommen. Genau deshalb ist Proton Drive für Linux so wichtig. Proton Drive ist ja genau für diee Leute interessant. Wir brauchen einen Linux-Client für Proton Drive.

I can't tell you how much this issue should be pushed.
Please provide us with this 🙏

As a new paying customer, this is crucial. The only thing making me regret switching to Proton is the lack of a native Proton Drive app for Linux. Please add this.
Having to move to Windows is the opposite of privacy.

I use Filen for now to sync from Linux, but would love to use Proton Drive, as I trust it more.
Pls!

This app/service is the ONLY thing holding me back from going to Linux. I'm literally less private on macOS because Proton doesn't have a Linux app for Drive. At some point I'll have to find a more privacy-focused service to move to so I can get off of macOS and over to Linux.

Please give an update on this and put this as a top priority. Focusing on collaborative docs is helpful to some users, but what many need on Linux is a native client to sync with Drive. As many users said already, I've also been a paying customer for many years and I've been waiting for this feature for a while. it's really hard to understand that there is no focus on Linux.
As others, I'll consider switching off to another service if there is no progress announced on this.

I recently switched to linux, this is definitely an issue, borderline dealbreaker for me, I have been a customer for 4 years. At least you should provide some cli tool for sync, something simple that could be called from time to time by cron or smth. I know about rclone and trying to use it but it is tricky, at least some good and verified instructions to setup some scripts for this would be welcome.

Please at least give a minimal support for the rclone implementation. I took a subscription to test all the features, but I am disappointed in the lack of Linux support.

At the very least they should support the rclone implementation. Like that wouldn't even be that much work compared to a full blown client

I have been a paying customer almost 4 years. Proton does not do the job for me anymore without a Linux client for Drive. When my membership expires, unless there is a Linux client for Drive, I will have to move on to another service unfortunately. Cannot keep waiting and expending no matter how much I believe in their values.

Paying customer here. I've been toying with upgrading my Proton account to Duo/Family, but the lack of a command line client for Drive is a real disincentive. No need to reinvent the wheel. Rclone used to work, sort of, but Linux (and OS X command line) users really need something that is robust and reliable. Please make this a priority.

Please put in your roadmap priority: us, users that are from Linux world

Users and communities that are sharing same values of Proton BUT working as volunteers in different forums or open source communities like rclone in first instance, can't be sustainable anymore continuing to reverse engineer your APIs forever, to mitigate a missing official support and being pointed out as "rclone is not a supported solution".

You appears, to many, a closed company but we know that it is not the case.

Again after ups and downs, till October 18th rclone stopped working with your reverse engineered API
rclone is, as of now, the only alternative to USE Proton Drive from Linux world
we all appreciate your transparency and communication in sharing your values and efforts

BUT

you as Proton are putting at risk your reputation because you are leaving - the same community of nerds, geeks and hackers that built and were the foundation of your company - out from your door

We are all happy to see Proton products are rising among "ordinary" users from Win and Mac world, in the past years a giant leap has been done to make UIs Apps and offer comparable/better against big MAGA companies

BUT now it's time for Linux client, we all expect to have cool app for GUI users but also terminal commands to use like rclone

Thank you!

Dido. Linux is used by those who are privacy focused folks, and with Proton "Privacy by default" does not seem so default where it needs to be. Please add this.

Absolutely wild that a company catering to privacy focused people wouldn't have Linux clients for a bunch of their services...
So frustrating to find this out after subscribing and moving my email over.

I understand not wanting to build a native app, but please at least work with rclone to fix their Proton Drive support.

It's frustrating that this isn't a native feature since rclone is unreliable and often stops working due to too many login attempts. If there is no plan for a native linux client at least work with rclone to make the connection reliable.
