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

Would upgrade to a paid subscription if this was available.

I would need a Linux Client to sync files before I start using this service

I moved from DropBox to ProtonDrive a year ago. I really miss the file sync !
Makes for very clunky workflows when you have no choice but to manually use the web interface. -

Bridge application emulating WebDAV and/or NFS. WebDAV would be best for providing a newbie-friendly experience as some desktops include native tools for mounting a WebDAV directory, and standalone utilities exist for doing so.
Without this, ProtonDrive is useless to me as I find it easier to insert a flash drive or else PGP-encrypt files on Dropbox.

Integration that works with Gnome/KDE. The best scenario would be to sign in using the "internet accounts" tool and then simply integrate the address book, calendar, todo and calendar. Why not?

Linux user here, waiting for a desktop client in order to make the switch.
In the meantime, happily using Mega.io -

Command line utility would do. This is the only thing stopping me from getting a family account.

I would really like to drop my own Nextcloud server and switch to Proton drive. I can't believe there is no Desktop client for Linux. I would be happy with a command line utility but, come on - really?

Yes completely agree this part of the service is unusable to me without a sync client.

A client for Linux and MacOS would be great. Or allow users to mount the drive in their file manager. I think most people would agree that having to upload and download everything over the web is not a good experience.

It's awesome that I have 6TB of storage available, but it's a waste without this.

The lack of a Linux desktop client is keeping me from switching to Proton Drive for my cloud storage.

We need a linux sync client in order to leave service like Tresorit.
