Linux Client
Proton Drive really needs the ability to sync desktop files automatically. This post focuses on a Linux client for Proton Drive.

This is exceptionally important for me. I need a client for Drive in particular, but I would really love a client for each of the Proton apps (hopefully not a ****** Electron wrapper). I use Arch Linux, and for the few things Proton provides Linux packages for, they tend to be .deb and .rpm.
If you do make these clients, please split Mail and Calendar into two applications so that my desktop environment (COSMIC) can recognize the Calendar app as a calendar client.

I pay for Proton Drive, but without syncing under lInux it is not as useful as i would want it to be

I am a Linux Mint user. Having moved from Microsoft Windows I really miss tight operating system integration.

This feature can not come soon enough.

This is absolutely needed.
Having the option to not just sync but also to mount Proton Drive would be an absolute game changer. -

I really need this client. For this reason, I am currently considering leaving Proton and choosing another provider.

At my job we want to switch from Macs to pc's with Ubuntu. The only thing really missing is a cloud service to share files and with the possibility to work together on documents. Proton Drive with Proton Docs would be perfect for this, so I hope there will soon be a Linux client for those services.

Proton, people have been begging for this for at least 6 years from what I've seen on the web. And now the Rclone method doesn't work anymore. Please do this already!

I currently have a free Proton account. I would like to upgrade to the Unlimited version, but I won't do so until there is a Linux client for Proton Drive.

I second @Clemens comment. From experience with using both Dropbox and Proton Drive on Windows, I can say that Proton Drive is far from the Gold Standard for speed and reliability between files. Sometimes, edits from either clients are directly in the cloud can take tens of minutes even with <50MB files.

Can we have an answer from Proton to this much wanted sync feature for Linux clients?

Really need this, too. Windows and MacOS but not Linux? Our money is just as good as their users'... :-)

Linux is main operating system in the daily operations of my company.
I believe in Proton's mission but the lack of native integration really hinders our workflow and quite frankly is bordering on being a deal-breaker.
Please do prioritize it. -

Bonjour,
Je Bascule sur Linux afin d'abandonner windows aussi pour des raisons de sécurité et si j'ai pris un abonnement Proton, c'est aussi pour des raisons de sécurité. Je suis surpris de découvrir des réticences de votre part pour basculer Proton Drive sous Linux. Nous faudra-t-il rechercher une autre solution à Proton ? -

I'm happy with Proton Pass and Mail and ... satisfied with Proton VPN (although it could use some improvement). But I definitely would love to see a Linux version of Proton Drive.

I don't have anything to add to all the comments already posted.
A Linux desktop client will sell Proton subscribtions like crazy, and with the big US tech firms shooing away more and more customers, the potential is huge.
For me, it's super annoying as my desktop PC (graphic design, etc.) is Windows, but my "write on the go" laptop is Linux. For now I have to manually sync stuff via web which is super tedious.
