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

Crazy that there's no interest from Proton in doing this.

Have transitioned from Windoze to Ubuntu over the last year (also a previous Mac user at times). Most apps work on Ubuntu including zoom -
Proton Drive is pretty much the only fly in the honey.
PS I have been a paying Proton user since 2018. Have really enjoyed the enhancements over that time.

I have to imagine that there is a large overlap between proton customers and Linux users. I'm floored that there isn't a Linux client yet.

Would love this.
Currently the only cloud storage provider I can find who has FOSS client apps for all [major] operating systems (Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, OS X) is Mega.
Would also love for Cryptomator to work well with it, because who doesn't love copious amounts of encryption?

I have dumped One Drive and committed to Proton, it would be nice if Proton could commit to myself and other Linux users in return

I cancelled my subscription. If Linux isn't even on the roadmap, this isn't the home for me.

Utterly crazy (and very disappointing) that Proton Drive is missing a Linux client when Tresorit has had a great Linux client for years. Even more disappointing that Linux wasn't even mentioned on the new roadmap.
This is a critical issue for me, especially as I plan to migrate to Ubuntu from Windows 10 when support ends.

Nothing in the just released roadmap? What?

Has anyone experience with https://rclone.org/protondrive/ ?

I'm a Windows / Mac user switching to Linux. Please consider implementing this.

For everyone waiting or over it, here's some alternatives I guess. I've heard good things about Filen, but I don't really know.
pCloud: A Swiss-based cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with great storage limits.
MEGA: A cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a command-line tool for Linux. It provides up to 20 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Icedrive: A cloud storage service that offers client-side encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Tresorit: A cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 3 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Filen: A cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Internxt: A cloud storage service that offers zero-knowledge encryption, end-to-end encryption, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.

I really hope you will release the Linux client soon. You are privacy focused company, it doesn't look good if you don't support privacy focused and open source operating systems.

Official rclone support or a proper Linux application (preferably with a scriptable CLI) would make this so much more useful and would allow me to upgrade to a paid plan.

I'm on an old Mac that is going to be phases out of security updates in a year. Transitioning to linux after this. Last month I got proton for email and drive. If there's no drive app on linux by then I guess I'll cancel.

I now have to run a dedicated Windows file server just to be able to access Proton Drive (via network sharing) from my main PC (which is Linux Mint). That actually works, but it is getting ridiculous. Come on, people. :)

Absolute must for my daily workflow please.

Please make this happen! Now Proton is even blocking accounts using rclone, why? That's really bad user experience.

Florent commented
This is the only thing refraining me from switching to Proton definitively. I'm still paying another non-European provider

We are a lot of linux systems administrators in my circle, who all use protonmail since its superior in terms of privacy and security.
The only reason each and every single one of us do not have full payed accounts is the blatant lack of linux syncing support.
It would be a match made in heaven should you implement this feature.
Please consider implementing this.
