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

How is this still not a thing?! Not even a beta!

I am honestly surprised that a service that states "A better internet starts with privacy and freedom" doesn't support Linux, which to me is the definition of privacy and freedom.
For the last 2 months I have been switching between Windows and Linux deciding what is best for me and I have decided Linux. Microsoft's more intrusive polices are getting worse and worse and it honestly surprises me Proton supports the two big OS's that takes users data (Even if you switch off there data collection stuff) and doesn't support an OS like Linux where the user get's a choice of what there want.
Honestly it start to make me think that Proton doesn't actually care (Though I don't trust any company) and not supporting Linux now shows this to me fully.
This is a deal breaker to me and if I don't hear that Proton has this on the roadmap I will be moving elsewhere.

I want to switch to Linux but Proton Drive not being available is the only thing keeping me from making the switch.

With all the AI bs I'm looking to move everything to Linux really could use Proton Drive Linux version.

We are many paid users using Linux.
I suggest that every user start contacting Proton and ask for a release date of a ProtonDrive Linux client, to accelerate the process and put "some pressure" as I feel they don't pay much attention to their "User's voice".
As a paid user, I believe I am in my good right to do so. Here is the contact page:

Let's make this real, together!
I agree with most comments, this is ironic. How does Proton not support the most privacy friendly Operating Systems?

A Linux app or at least CLI interface for Proton Drive.
Proton Drive with Linux would be perfect and fulfil a lot of what people require using linux to move to proton from other cloud storage providers.
rsync have built in a feature for using proton drive via their CLI however this is not yet fully integrated with Proton Drive from what I have seen.

Would love for this to work. I have seen an rclone script for this, but I haven't tested.

Upcoming windows features including "recall" are a substantial security and privacy risk. Even if it is possible to fully disable, Microsoft has a history of enabling feature in updates that users have disabled. Linux support may soon become essential.

a service that claims to put privacy and security first and then doesn't support the leading operating system dedicated to them is disappointing, suspicious and undermines user trust. Repent!

Please make all the apps available for download. I want to become a subscriber, but I don't like, use or trust Windwos and MacOS.

its a dealbreaker. there's some irony in being privacy focused, without supporting the most privacy focused systems.

It's insane this hasn't been done. Proton needs to focus more on the Linux community!

For the love of god, do it already. For all your talk about privavy, security and getting the web out of big tech's grasp, not supporting Linux for one of your core services is mindboggling.

I also am a paying subscriber. I would greatly appreciate a proton drive client for linux, because my main workstation is a linux machine. I am already using the linux client for proton vpn. Maybe an appimage or a flatpak to give trans-distro compatibility...

I've had a paid subscription to proton services almost since the start, but have only used protonmail all this time. As I look to adopt more of the proton ecosystem, having a native Linux client for proton drive is a critical requirement for me.

I just went proton. mail and vpn are set.
proton drive would really round it all out. -

I would love a Linux version (.deb in my case) of the local client already offered to Windows and Mac users. I am fully Linux, and have been using Protonmail for over six years.
