It's currently inconvenient and inefficient to manually fire up proton drive in a web browser to transfer files on a linux box.
Keep up the good work.

Ideally, it should be available as Linux universal app (Flatpak, Snap, AppImage) in order to cater as many distributions as possible.

I'm pretty upset this is not available for a service this price. Please prioritize a solution to allow Linux desktop backups

Can you please develop an app for linux desktop too? It's shameful that you offer a desktop app for propriertary OS and not for linux, since you're embrancing open source

Disappointing..

To use Proton Drive effectively syncing is essential. Therefore a desktop is needed, apparently. But hey, who is still using Windows and Mac when thinking security. So, please develop a Proton Drive desktop app for Linux machines (preferably deb version)

Started planning my migration to Linux a few days ago and I'm STUNNED there is no Linux app for Proton Drive. Please consider releasing one. Thanks.

Please, provide an official package for Arch Linux.

Fedora user here. I noticed that I can drag n drop files from the Files app to my browser when logged into Drive. I don't even miss the Drive app after switching to Linux.

Proton still needs to get their act together but this might make using Drive a little easier to use.

I noticed a couple of days ago that I can have Drive loaded in my browser and drag files to the drive from my Files manager. I've only been on Linux for less than 2 weeks and I don't even miss the app.

As I wanna switch away from google workspace and windows I checked again proton. And I saw that proton doesnt provide a client for Linux, and I saw over 8000 would like to have a drive client for Linux..
especially now windows 10 is not longer supported. There are thousand people who dont wanna buy a new computer.

Would be great if there is a drive client for Linux...and even perfect would work with libreoffice. This would be a great changemaker in business..

Per noi che usiamo linux sia a casa che al lavoro sarebbe veramente molto utile.

I moved off of windows for privacy reasons. Proton Drive is the only critical app that didn't make the transition with me. My workflows are hobbled until I find a replacement.

Okay, I've given up on Proton Drive and found a different cloud provider (based in Switzerland, no less) that syncs with my Linux box and Android phone. I've also given up on Calendar, in favor of a CalDev calendar that works offline. So, I'm down to Mail, Pass, and VPN. These work pretty well and I'm likely to keep them. But the rest of the Proton offerings that I pay for aren't doing anything for me. <shrug>

Please Proton team! Proton Drive is essential to my workflow, and now that I've almost fully separated from Windows (3/4 of my computers are now running some sort of Debian-based distro like Linux Mint or Proxmox) I need to be able to work as efficiently as I have before. If Proton Drive truly values privacy, then a Linux client for Drive would have been available at launch. I don't want to have to deal with the hassle of self-hosting when I already pay for Proton for it's VPN, password manager, and email client. Help us out!

The Linux client for Proton Drive is the final piece I’ve been waiting for to fully move away from Google and rely entirely on Proton. I would be absolutely thrilled to see a Linux client released — even a simple MVP version would be more than enough to get started!

Users should be able to mount Proton Drive storage as a filesystem, similar to how network shares (e.g., NFS, SMB, WebDAV, or FUSE-based systems) operate.
This would allow Linux users to seamlessly integrate Proton Drive into their workflows, and enable Windows and Mac users to access their Proton Drive files without requiring a full sync.
For Linux in particular, filesystem mounting would be extremely valuable, making it possible to use Proton Drive in existing scripts, cron jobs, and backup solutions.
Additionally, implementing this feature would likely require significantly less effort than developing a full desktop sync client, as it could leverage existing protocols.

Proton Drive really needs a Linux client with full automatic file sync, similar to what Mega.nz already offers. Honestly, if Mega ever launches an email service, it could seriously hurt Proton, because Mega already covers almost all the other services Proton offers.

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) ?
