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

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!

Proton drive client would be a good feature to have on the Linux desktop, even if it just acts as a mounted network share drive.

Yep, it really looks like there are a lot of people that are waiting for this. Since 2022. So, it comes to my mind that there already may be some efforts done. Is there any public Git repo or so with any initial version?

Yes this is an essential piece missing from my Linux workflow. I will not use any third party clients! Do yo thang Proton do yo thanggg

Ubuntu/linux Mint please. Could also integrate with Gnome-based file managers.

Both for normal archiving or to allow acces from external backup Ubuntu apps (let say Déjà Dup)

Glad to see the consistent support for this feature request.

I like using Proton, but this is what keeps me from upgrading my account. Why is it Nextcloud can pull this off but not Proton?

This is is the single most important feature I am looking for that is getting in the way of me fully adopting open source in my personal life.
Why?
Because I am the director of a company that has to use a Windows PC in the office, but I use Linux at home. Sync of documents between these platforms will allow me to work from home without having to fire up my Windows laptop.

Upcoming Windows updates are increasingly pushing AI to do shady or dubious things where we don't really know what it's doing and what data it's collecting.
For example, in the upcoming 24H2 update, the AI's “Recall” feature becomes a Windows Explorer dependency, making it increasingly difficult for users to completely remove any AI functionality they don't want...
Today, more than ever, I really want to permanently switch to Linux but I can't because:
- 1st Proton Drive is still not available
- 2nd ProtonVPN is really in a bad shape on LinuxPlease Proton Team we need these on Linux asap.

I just saw that rclone has beta-support for Pronton Drive :-) ...
https://rclone.org/protondrive/
might be possibly to do something nifty in combination with unison :-)

I'm having 3 domains and 2TB of Drive space with Google today and I use it, among other things, to keep a number of file systems on different hosts in sync at all times. Most importantly to me is to keep the linux hosts in sync. I use inSync (3rd party app) to accomplish this but t does unfortunately not yet support Proton. One idea might be to work with inSync to help them integrate Proton Drive?!?
If it was possible to sync Proton Drive with Linux I would switch from Google to Proton in a blink. I would very much prefer a head-less (non-GUI) app and am happy to help with development and/or be a beta-tester of such apps to help speed up the development.
A linux app for Proton Drive is essential for me to take the step to sign up for a 24 month Proton Family subscription and start the process of switching over everything from Google ....
