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

Drive for Linux, and ability to sync, would be great.

Proton team, please, I see nothing happening for linux client for months at https://github.com/ProtonDriveApps/sdk, I know it is just sdk but still can you make some honest statement where we are with this? Everything is better than leaving us scream for most wanted feature that long.

I'm happy with my Proton suite, but am genuinely surprised to see that there's no Proton Drive for Linux client. Many Proton users (myself included) will be looking to move away from today's bloated commercial OS offerings, and the lack of a Proton for Linux client is a bit of a hurdle.

Critical feature. Rclone is a temporary workaround.

How tf is is possible that some guy can create this: `https://github.com/DonnieDice/protondrive-linux`. But the company who's user-base supposedly cares about privacy doesn't offer a proton drive linux client...

It's apparent that Proton is putting a lot of work into innovative and highly important new products like, for instance, their AI-think (...Lumo). That's excellent :-) Their expanding on many fronts.
BUT by now, I have been waiting for quite some time on "Proton Drive for Linux". Maybe I can't appreciate the hurdles implementing something like this, poses to Proton. Maybe it's just too difficult.

This is basic functionality for a cloud drive. Embarrassing that there is no Linux client.

it was said that a drive client would be released for linux "this summer" in their blog, and it is almost the end of 2025, a shame we've been waiting for so long with no clarity on why the delay is here :(

Really, 4861 votes and Proton shows no interest? This is so ridiculous! This actually shows how much a company has an interest in its customers!
Marketing is the soul of business, but the reality of actions destroys marketing!

For me and many other users who are migrating to Linux, a desktop client would be very useful, besides, honestly, in the case of Drive, a web client helps, but the daily interaction is horrible. I believe it's past Proton time to create a desktop client for Linux.

Can we get an update from Proton on this?

4,850 votes and still not begin.
Seriously problematic. -

what a shame, a lot of promise but little action. releasing useless new products like lumo, but can't sort out core products like proton drive for linux.

I see this has been requested a long time ago. I am surprised that Proton has not come up with a Linux version of this popular app. This is a real showstopper for me as I move away from Windows.

My subscription still has time left, but if there is no working app for Linux by the end of it, I'm gone.
