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

I need this to allow me to use Obsidian to sync between a Mac, iPad and a Linux Mint MacBookPro, otherwise I might as well use Obsidian Sync and save some money....

I've been a proton user for about 6 months. I am still using dropbox because there is no linux client :(. This is really frustrating as there are many privacy conscious people, and probably a large percentage of them run linux (i think more than OSX).
There are also, likely many linux users (who have a higher probability of being privacy conscious), who have not switched to Proton because this feature is lacking.
Proton product team, you really need to learn your market.

I'm kind of dissapointed that they already have a Bitcoin Wallet, AI services, but we still don't have a client for Linux for this.

Patiently waiting for this. In the mean time, RClone sorta works, but is a huge pain because it's slow and complicated.

Honestly, it would be so easy for them to make this available as a flatpak and distribute it to almost all Linux desktops in one release. It's practically a criminal omission on their part.

Please add a Proton Drive desktop app for Linux (compatible with Pop! OS, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint)

An app that can run on Raspberrypi or Librem 5.

If proton is serious about privacy it absolutely must support Linux. Having a reliable Linux client for Proton Drive is critical for users.

Even just supporting Ubuntu, TrueNas Scale, and a couple of other 'popular' options would be great. I just need enough support to create a SMB share that doesn't need a 'paid' OS. Heck, pick something that doesn't change much (again, TrueNas Scale) and focus dev on that initially to get something stable, then let the ND masses find ways to port it for you.

Should be a much higher priority than Proton Scribe and Proton Wallet.

They are working on it, but, as they said, it is very chalanging task, more so than vpn client. -

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?
