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

I just wanted to add my vote for this severely lacking feature. I have switched my primary computer to Linux and its shocking that a company focused on privacy wouldn't make this a priority for an OS that attracts people interested in privacy.
If its going to take time to develop, why not at least allow for easier workarounds using rclone and the Celeste GUI? My account refuses to work with those options. It should be simple enough to allow that as a stop gap measure while you finish development.

Sure, I can use the web app, but I miss having drive built into the filesystem, this would make my life so much easier

Until there is a Linux Client for Proton Drive I have to use another service like tresorit - I'd be happy to upgrade to the next Proton tier IF I could use that Drive space, right now it's of no use to me.

Thank you Proton for your great work so far! I am a visionary Proton user with all six members of my family and we have been Linux desktop users for over 15 years. We believe the otherwise excellent Proton ecosystem is complete only with Proton Drive linux client with the automatic sync option. It is the only important piece still missing from the otherwise superb package.
Me and my family is not going to leave Proton, we are still waiting and supporting you, not giving up! :)

Would really love to make use of my proton drive storage, but as a Linux user I'm still unable to, except through the web browser. Which isn't really a solution except for trivial uploads. Being able to do rsync backups or mount the filesystem or similar would be fantastic.

The first step would be making a linux-compatible client (see https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client).
After that, making it into a nix package would be trivial.

Yup. Would be great to have that working on Linux. Would love to be able to sync my photos.

The Linux VPN client was a great step. Hopefully we get some news about this soon. Obviously the most dedicated privacy advocates are on Linux!

I'd the same functionality as in MacOs, where the drive integrates in Finder. In the linux case, nautilus

This is my mission-critical backup method, and it is preventing me from ditching Windows. I have a family plan, so this is affecting multiple computers on my account.

I stepped over to Linux.
There is a web based mail client but I don't like that one very much.
There is no Sync Drive for Linux. I cannot step over to Proton Drive. -

A desktop client for Linux would be AWESOME! I would definitely upgrade my subscription and make more extensive use of Proton's offerings if they did this.

I'd really love to use Proton Drive, I'd even upgrade my plan from Plus to Unlimited for more storage if could, but without Linux syncing it's practically useless to me!

They absolutely do not care about us Linux users. There are cloud storage services which are operating at a tiny fraction of the size and budget of Proton yet they have a functioning Linux client with directory sync. I'm just ******* away money on a useless Unlimited plan just so they can release more half-finished products no one asks for. I'm tired of reading "It's on the roadmap" because I know that is a blatant lie to keep people from leaving. "A better internet starts with privacy and freedom", except for Linux users, the guys who give a **** about privacy the most. That awful response from the CEO during the AMA cemented my belief that they have no intention whatsoever of developing a Linux client. Best take your money elsewhere, folks.

Proton Drive needs a Linux client with automatic file sync. Many of us rely on Linux as our primary OS, and this feature is essential for a seamless workflow. It would help users like me fully switch from other cloud services like Google Drive. Please prioritize this – the Linux community is ready to support Proton even more!
