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

A way to sync to Proton Drive from Linux would save me a lot of time. This is the most important feature request to me.

This would be great for Linux

Big vote from my side. while I understand that Linux is a minority for desktop users, I would have still expected to be a priority for Proton to make a client for Linux, especially before making the one for Mac. As for other users this is a game changer for me to switch to Proton.

Really hope this gets done soon. It will be a huge step forward in the capability of ProtonDrive

It is really sad that there is still no Linux client. Actually something that should be a matter of course in this area. And, like all other apps, it should of course be open source. Proton always advertises its openness and how secure it should be. But these words should also be backed up by deeds, otherwise you appear untrustworthy.

Once I discovered Linux had been sidelined it made me doubt whether I had made the right call in trying to switch. I still fully haven't because I'm not getting the signal that this company cares about me as a demographic.

This is the very missing app that hinders me from moving definitely to Proton Drive.

If nothing else, how about opening up the API so services like rclone can sync like with every other service on the planet. Their first runs are promising , but so slow that I can't use it on a regular basis. And when you have to guess at things, I'm not sure why they even bother.
Like others here, I'm forced to use another service (MEGA) until this gets resolved. I've tried installing the Windows client via WINE and Proton (from Steam), but you've successfully borked that option as well.

It's disappointing to see applications for Windows, Mac and iOS and nothing for linux. You don't even need to support every distro on the planet -- just a flatpack, a bridge with no UI, or some minimal Ubuntu support, the community can take it from there. Or perhaps you're assuming "we'll figure it out", reverse engineering the other apps (because that's how it usually goes). Come on.

I have to pay for another service for this. I shouldn't have to. Even if it's just something I can manually configure using something like rsync I wouldn't care. Otherwise you can keep upping my storage but it's useless to me. I can't sit around uploading gigs and gigs from a web browser. Especially files I always want current in cloud storage.

I use linux daily. ALL of my data are on the Linux box. I'm being forced to use OneDrive for essential (minimal...) sharing until such time as I can use Proton for all my data. I only created the onedrive account because I've been waiting for Proton to do this. I'm happy with the windows app, now we need it for Linux.

I'm waiting for any hints of a Linux client to make a year-long purchase during the Black Friday season. I'm pretty sure atleast dozens of others are also waiting for the same.

I'm a paying customer and it really surprised me that a privacy focused company doesn't have a Linux client for this

I would switch today for a Linux client

Can't believe this is not a thing yet. Linux is my daily driver for privacy and switched to proton for the same reasons!!

This is now a basic feature for any drive service. Please add if possible.

Can only second this. I try to switch completely to Proton, but the missing Linux client for Drive is stopping me currently.

shocked and disappointed that this isn't a thing, especially after seeing chatter about this from an entire year ago... pretty sure I could implement this in a small number of weeks if I were a developer/engineer for Proton :\
