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

Need this so bad. I'm trying to rid myself of Google and Microsoft, but didn't realise Proton Drive wasn't supported on Linux :(

I am doing some workaround with rclone, but it's critical proton release a Linux client ASAP.

Maximilian commented
This is urgent, we need a linux alternative to Gdrive, Dropbox and others, and preferably one that works. At least in the meanwhile could you post a tutorial on how to sync files with rclone or something else ?

It is a fundamental resource.

This is sorely needed!

The inability to create and manage syncs from Linux is a real problem for me as I have just completed migrating from Windows to Linux. I wish I'd researched this issue a bit more before making the decision to purchase an Ultimate account. And no indication of when we might expect this? At least Filen provides this functionality.

I don't know if you've noticed, but this is the top one request. The only request higher than this is the Proton Docs, which is already released and so doesn't count. I really hope Proton makes a Linux Client for it.

Crazy that there's no interest from Proton in doing this.

Have transitioned from Windoze to Ubuntu over the last year (also a previous Mac user at times). Most apps work on Ubuntu including zoom -
Proton Drive is pretty much the only fly in the honey.
PS I have been a paying Proton user since 2018. Have really enjoyed the enhancements over that time.

I have to imagine that there is a large overlap between proton customers and Linux users. I'm floored that there isn't a Linux client yet.

Would love this.
Currently the only cloud storage provider I can find who has FOSS client apps for all [major] operating systems (Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, OS X) is Mega.
Would also love for Cryptomator to work well with it, because who doesn't love copious amounts of encryption?

I have dumped One Drive and committed to Proton, it would be nice if Proton could commit to myself and other Linux users in return

I cancelled my subscription. If Linux isn't even on the roadmap, this isn't the home for me.

Utterly crazy (and very disappointing) that Proton Drive is missing a Linux client when Tresorit has had a great Linux client for years. Even more disappointing that Linux wasn't even mentioned on the new roadmap.
This is a critical issue for me, especially as I plan to migrate to Ubuntu from Windows 10 when support ends.

Nothing in the just released roadmap? What?

Has anyone experience with https://rclone.org/protondrive/ ?

I'm a Windows / Mac user switching to Linux. Please consider implementing this.

For everyone waiting or over it, here's some alternatives I guess. I've heard good things about Filen, but I don't really know.
pCloud: A Swiss-based cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with great storage limits.
MEGA: A cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a command-line tool for Linux. It provides up to 20 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Icedrive: A cloud storage service that offers client-side encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Tresorit: A cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 3 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Filen: A cloud storage service that offers end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge protocol, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.
Internxt: A cloud storage service that offers zero-knowledge encryption, end-to-end encryption, and a native Linux client. It provides up to 10 GB of free storage and offers a paid subscription with additional features.

I really hope you will release the Linux client soon. You are privacy focused company, it doesn't look good if you don't support privacy focused and open source operating systems.
