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

There is a drive for Windows and Mac because they have a large user base. I think if you make a drive client for linux the linux user base will grow fast. Because Linux users are mostly already extremely privacy minded. I have nothing in the Big Tech cloud and now do a lot of self-hosting to keep it that way. Would love to drop some of that work load if only someone would support linux. So Proton, here is your big chance. I understand the CEO of proton believes the linux user base is to small. Then maybe he should consider why it is small. You lack support for one of the most privacy minded OS in the world. You do not support it, you do not get those users. Only Proton can break this circle by creating a Linux client for Proton Drive.
I would like to end with a question. There is already a client app for Mac. I believe Mac OS runs on a Linux kernel. Is it that hard to adapt that client to run on Linux? Not a programmer myself so I was wondering about that. -

This really should be a priority. Please provide a solution for Linux. I know a great many people desire to switch from Microsoft and/or Google and are just waiting for solutions to issues like Proton Drive.

It is an absolute necessity the web-app is really slow and inconvenient. Please fix that or allow 3rd-party-devs to create an app for you.
Thanks in advance -

I am dropping a lot of third-party tools because Proton offers me almost everything I need in one place. I regularly work on macOS, Windows and Linux, with Linux being my main platform and the lack of client for Proton Drive is currently a major issue for me. Thanks for considering adding support for Linux asap!

I'm ditching as many Microsoft and Google products as possible, and switching to Linux. Please make this happen!

I have recently switched over completely to Ubuntu. It is very disappointing that there is no Proton Drive client for Linux. I may have to reconsider my Visionary subscription.

These people believe in security, FOSS, freedom and yet they still can't add native support for all of there products especially proton drive for linux. SMH.

so many comments and votes, but the CEO still have a courage to say that linux users aren't enough to start a project with protondrive

Is there any progress on this as a Linux user, long term customer of Proton inc ProtonDrive it's quite frustrating. I rely alot of my Proton Drive and not having a Linux Client caused huge inconvenience.
There are other services with native Linux support please Proton......

The worst part is that they skipped this Idea for the next one as the other 2 top ideas have been started except this one... 0 respect for the community not even a comment. As always feels like we are being disregard as people as we are always discriminated. Not even a we will do it soon TM. :/ I was waiting to pay for this but I AM DONE WAITING as how it looks they start new services like a useless wallet when the other services are not even remotely usable. I WILL RECOMMEND NOT TO USE THIS SERVICES TO ANYONE WHO ASKS IRL OR NOT!

The lack of the Linux sync is the only thing holding me back from upgrading.
Right now I'm doing Google Drive and Cryptomator but like many, I would like Google out of my life. -

I was ready to buy proton unlimited, but now I won't until this is implemented. I cannot believe this isn't a feature. Why even use proton on Windows or Mac? Kind of counterintuitive. Your focus is misplaced.
