This is the only reason why I don't use Proton Drive. I made an account here solely for this request.

Proton's focus on security attracts many Linux users. It would be very popular as a cloud storage provider if they just let us use it.

Something working like Insync

Ubuntu distros tend to offer "Online Account" to hook up with. Like Google, Nextcloud, Microsoft, etc.

It would be amazing if Proton was one of those online accounts. I think it would help spread the Proton brand and make life nicer for Linux users.

Currently Google/Microsoft don't really offer amazing Linux support. So good Linux support may go a long way!

In a perfect world it would be just as seamless as One Drive on Windows or iCloud on Macs.

An app would be nice, but an API that rclone could use would be absolutely fine, and much faster for the Proton team to code.

Currently Drive is almost unusable with failed downloads, uploads, and the inability to check which files have failed and retry automatically.

What we need is a simple way to sync local folders with proton drive. GUI are generally cumbersome and useless, CLI are the best as the more efficient and flexible way for that purpose.
ProtonDrive is simply useless without this functionality...

Or at least an API, so we can develop extensions for existing tools like rclone (or create applications).

Would love to have this feature included.

this is required, i'm a linux fedora 36 user and love the ability to use cryptomator with my cloud storage like i do on filen io + cryptomator

Crucial feature for me to synchronize files

This is a key feature for me.

Crucial feature. Preferable for all common platforms (personally: Windows, Linux, Android)

I love the way Proton approaches things and have been paying for VPN and mail. I used to pay SpiderOak for their cloud backup service, switched to Mega.io, but I would love to move all my backups to Proton. For me to do that, two things are necessary. 1) a Linux client that will automatically backup files from any directory I choose and synchronize between computers. 2) a reasonable fee for 2 - 5 TB of storage that is competitive with Mega or Jotta.

This is the critical feature for me to use this and to recommend it to others.

This is the only reason why I have not yet switched from dropbox to proton drive

do this and you'll gain yourself at least one client more (me)

Thank you for making this suggestion. Yeah, Proton, please do this as a matter of priority. This would be really important to all linux users of your services. I've been on what you now call unlimited plan for a few years now, and this right here is the only reason I still have to use some other cloud solutions as well. It would really be awesome of we could auto sync folders, drives, and store backups from our linux devices directly to Proton Drive.

Few file syncing services have a Linux client - this could really solidify a Linux following for Proton services. There is already a large overlap in philosophy. And thank you for the support you already provide Linux users :)

This one is critical to me and would really just make all the proton products first class citizens on the Linux platform. I use the Linux desktop as my daily driver and have been for more than 10 years. I stay away from the spyware that is windows and macOS

i would prefer Proton to NOT work together with Canonical. there are plenty ways to integrate your preferred email client into your preferred linux applications, we dont need more braindead handling. in fact, uservoice having facebook and google tracking elements is bad enough

This is an essential feature for wide ranging adoption of drive
