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

Proton Drive without client = unusable to me.
I think it's only fair to provide a Linux client -- we pay the same amount for an account as OSX and Windows users, but get less?

I use Proton on a MacBook and on a Linux Desktop. To keep my files in sync, it is crucial to have a possibility to share folders. Also, the versioning of files would be a great feature for such a client.
The browser interface only does not suit my needs for this at all. I can use the drive only as an archive for historical data or to share a specific file with someone. As a backup/sync solution, it is useless without a client.

Please create a Linux client for Drive.
Also, please publish your API documentation to allow tools like Rclone to work better on Linux.

Guys I'm crying.
I need to sync my data between working computer and private computer, different folders.
Currently on my private computer I have to always drop entire folder with my files to proton drive in browser in order to sync all the diffs..
Agree, it takes too much resources on your API side when I'm doing this.
Please port your MacOS app to Ubuntu -

Finally went ahead and signed up for the free account for now. A Linux client that allows me to move files back and forth from Proton Drive via a bash shell is a requirement for me to migrate from Dropbox. Given the demand, I was hopeful that we'd at least have a beta by now. I guess I'll re-up with Dropbox for one more year for storage :-(

This is the single feature keeping me from upgrading to the Business plan. I'm upgrading my plan the minute a desktop drive client is available.

a linux sync client is almost indispensable, many people dont use and pay for proton but do it with e.g. pcloud because pcloud have much better sync options. Most of these people would rather like to use proton but this missing feature stops adoption of proton. REMEMBER: Unlike in other contexts Linux users of Proton are PAYING CUSTOMERS

I do really love most if not all the features as a Proton+ user. But syncing files manually in Proton Drive is painfully “old school”

More Linux support is very much welcome.

This is likely a critical missing piece for a lot of people that would help them move their daily computer OS to Linux. As someone making the switch to a more privacy focused ecosystem, this feature is a must for me.

I pay for this service because I believe in it, and really like the Proton suite. Similarly, I use Linux because there's no privacy with MS. Please create a Linux Desktop App so we can backup and easily modify our files. Touting privacy and not fully supporting Linux is inauthentic.

I privacy-focused service like Proton that doesn't support Linux is just bizarre. Really hamstrings the usefulness of ProtonDrive. The fact it's not even mentioned on the roadmap is really disappointing.

As a family plan member, this feature is essential to us in this plan. +1 @hic

I am worried after seeing no mention of Linux on the Drive roadmap page. It is very frustrating to have to manually download and then reupload files to the cloud storage every time you modify them.

I am extremely surprised to find out after already subscribing that drive is not available for linux. Pretty disappointed to find out the vpn app doesn't support wireguard on linux, either.

As is proton drive is not useful, i love to see an app for linux rectifying that.
