Absolute must, you put this in and I'm switch to the unlimited plan

I would really love to be able to continously synchronize my files on Linux. I can not understand why this is not possible on PD.

Is there an Alpha or Beta client? How about a Beta API? Let the open source community work for you.

This feature is essential for almost every linux user that's using proton, allowing users to use proton as a backup method.

If I want this to replace other cloud storage, I would need it to synchronize files between devices. Static file storage without synchronization does not hold much value for me.

Only thing keeping me from leaving Mega

I think proportionally more Linux users care about privacy as compared to other platforms. So, why cut us out?

Linux has never been a priority for Proton. Any part of their ecosystem that is NOT browser based is rudimentary at best when compared to Windows and Mac. For example, Proton VPN only has a fraction of the features and flexibility of the Windows client. I would LOVE to migrate from MEGA to Proton Drive, but until it integrates with the Linux filesystems, it is of NO use. Sure, I could copy/paste my user folders manually, but I don't have to with EVERY other cloud based client. Proton, STOP IGNORING LINUX!

There is already the same proposition with more votes => https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client-for-syncing

This would be a great and secure help in hybrid work. Just automate protondrive syncing and no more checking thousands of versions on different machines. Linux especially needs such an option when you script and create your own automations on different machines, both at work and at home. Even better would be an additional CLI version to automate the whole process with simple bash scripts. One command and ready to go

I literally can not use the service effectively without this. If no Linux client is ever announced, I'm unfortunately going to have to move to competing services.

I already have them picked out, in fact, but I'm trying to keep hope that Proton will do the right thing.

I'm visionary and I'd love this feature. That's the only thing I'm missing.

It's useless without this.

I've been a loyal Proton customer so many years in spite of occasional inconveniences. And I've been a very very happy customer mostly. Proton is the absolutely best VPN provider of the market and its mail service is such a pleasure to use.

However, I feel massively betrayed now.

Now, I went and bought the Proton Visionary package and shelled out circa 450€ for it and figured out that there's not even an alpha version of Linux client available anywhere – or a client for any other desktop OS. And when I tested the Android mobile app it even failed to play a tiny video file I'd uploaded, which puzzled me even more – it should take some hours from a junior dev to fix such a thing!

What makes this even more disturbing is the fact that the people who work in Proton are busy professionals themselves who certainly understand how their customers, likewise, must be able to integrate whatever tools they use to their own rapid workflow. This is absolutely not possible in the case of ProtonDrive.

That's why I don't think it's exaggeration to say that the selling of cloud space in ProtonDrive at a premium price at the moment without a workable access to it amounts to nothing short of fraudulent behaviour.

Therefore, the Proton customers who've bought the visionary package recently should consider themselves entitled to require a quick resolution to this defect in form of a reimbursement or a technically appropriate and safe workaround (like rclone etc) at least.

Without this feature, Proton Drive is just sitting unused for me.

We need it, it is mandatory.

Mandatory.

Without it, protondrive is useless to me.

A deal breaker for user adoption.
At least provide an API so the community can build the necessary tools.

Having a dedicated Linux client rather than having to try and cobble together a solution is a must,

The obvious way to implement this is similar to the DropBox client where it loads when you log in to your computer and monitors a specified folder. While this is a good option for people who are not technically inclined, I would also see it able to load during boot as a background service to provide a WebDAV mount for seamless desktop integration.
