Drive's performance is so bad for me in Linux that it's simply not usable. I see upload speeds of 500k-1mb at best and frequent failures on files larger than about 50mb. I can't believe it's not a priority considering the number of votes.

how comes that with more than 6500 votes this is still not a priority?

Lack of a Linux client to sync with Proton drive is a serious omission in the Proton group of apps.

I recently asked again for a native linux sync app and was told again that I should just use the web client. I finally decided, out of financial necessity, to start migrating from my old storage to Proton Drive via the web client. With ~26k files to upload from local disk I am now 4 days, 5 restarts of all of the failures I am now sitting listening to pod casts and clicking restart on individual files for over an hour. I am seriously wondering about the economics of something I am finding so labor intensive. And then there is management over time....

Please, please, please get us a CLI that we could use with an intelligent agent like rsync.

We need the automatic file sync in Linux

Some kind of automatic synchronization would be lovely! This is really the sole sore spot for me on an otherwise spectacular set of products. I get a lot of value out of Proton, so I'm pretty happy if this is the one box that remains unchecked... but still!

+1 on this. At the very least a CLI tool or folder synq.

Please, Proton team! We need it! You've already done it with Pass, VPN and mail. At least tell us it's something that's going to happen in the near future.

Please make a Linux client for your Drive a priority. I am a paying client and Linux has been my daily driver for 20 years. At the very least some limited integration for Linux in a sane way, i.e. CLI tool; leverage built-in mounted remote drives; just an electron app of your webapp in flatpak/snap; or even work with a company like insync (https://www.insynchq.com/ - I know it's not foss, but I did write "at the very least", not "ideally"). Any solution that wouldn't require me to work with my files via the browser, and download them locally - it's a mess and a hassle.

makes me wish i could use mail, pass and vpn together without drive since its basically useless without a client for my main OS

This is becoming a deal breaker for me. I am moving my work to linux, and really would like to use all proton apps form my work, but without Drive....

There is Proton VPN client for linux, Proton Mail Bridge for linux, why isn't there still a client for Proton Drive? One would think this is a very high priority...

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.

Not having a way to use drive with Linux is a major failing. I see this has been open for 2 years. If you want to retain linux users you need to give it, at least, equal priority.

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