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

I decided to make the move from Gmail to Protonmail at least 7 or 8 years ago, and from Windows to Linux about 4 years ago. I have an Unlimited account, and the last critical piece of infrastructure for a truly independent and private/secure working environment is to have a native desktop drive connector, like the one for Windows, for _Linux_. Here's hoping for more resources ... 🤞

They didn't even acknowledged that they are/will work on this feature. This is really sad. Until they do, LINUX CLIENT WHEN?

after 2800 votes over two years, there's not really much to add other than votes

Really wish Proton would do this, much more useful than AI, to me at least.

I wish you would focus on this instead of releasing new half baked services every 3 months 🤦

As a Proton Unlimited user, it hurts I still use Mega for Local File Cloud Sync.
Proton - by the Community(Linux, Windows and Mac) , for the Community (Windows and Mac).
The VPN Client they made for Linux is very slow, hangs when launches.
I am not sure why Mac and Windows client were made sooner with lesser votes than Linux. The votes on Windows and Mac - even combined not reach 1000. -

I only use Linux and have not touched windows for almost a decade. In fact I cancelled my Dropbox subscription and subscribed to your Duo plan just for your Proton Drive (better privacy). It would be really helpful if you had a Linux app like Dropbox did so I don't have to constantly keep doing all my work in a web browser.

Me another Linux user paying for Unlimited plan yet on a long wait for a desktop sync client. It's such a shame that on reddit some people constantly claim Linux users are not important enough. Maybe we are the minority, but proportionally we are much more likely to subscribing to privacy-focused services. And the fragmentation excuse no longer holds!! There is Flatpak that runs any distro, or just provide a .deb for Ubuntu and GNOME and the community will take care of the rest.

I work in the security information business and I don't use regular clouds that register my activity or any legacy solution for my critical data.

A function that's absolutely essential if you want to switch to 100% proton use!
Make this your absolute priority :-) -

Downloading from the website is horrible, can't achieve more than 15KB/s. A native Linux client is a must.

Not being able to sync files between all my devices is a really big detriment

Been waiting for this for a while. Would love to see some traction on it.
