This is a deal breaker for me. Without it, Proton is a gimmick email site, not a real platform I can move to.

As Visionary, the lack of attention this has is very concerning...

I would wager most with serious security concerns are not Windows NPCs. But perhaps the data mining doesn't support that? A "show me the money" issue?

I only wear suits to weddings and funerals, thus my lie craft is lacking... lol

Microsoft much?

Not sure how many comments I've added to this thread but this is one of the most-requested features on this site and Proton still isn't even "thinking" about it. You have so many Unlimited and paying customers who are asking for this feature but they're currently being ignored.

I use/used MEGA.nz as a step-in since they also offer E2E encryption AND have the MEGASync app which works on all major distros. They even have add-ins for various file managers to display the sync status of individual files and directories. If anything, Proton should look into acquiring MEGA and using their technology that has already been built. Either that or collaborate on the portions of their solution that are relevant and open source.

I started to use rclone bisync with Proton Drive and it seems to be working, but it does take a while and you need to be comfortable with rclone and cron if you want it to sync or work regularly. There are options.. but how much longer do privacy-respecting customers who run linux have to wait for something that's a very standard and base feature of having a cloud drive service.

I need to move one of my family notebooks to Linux due to the lack of Win11 compatibility. I guess more and more people will follow that path throughout 2025. As a Visionary plan subscriber, I was extremely susprised not to find a Linux client download option. You should stop working on everything else until this issue is solved.

Proton's complete and utter failure to prioritize Linux sync for Proton Drive -- or even put it on the roadmap -- feels pretty insulting after so many years. Especially since Drive syncing is such a critical piece of any customer's workflow. And particularly since so many other companies offer a Linux sync solution already.

Being a second-class citizen sucks. It's far past time for Linux users to look at alternatives.

The rclone workaround is unusable for me. Takes way too long and can't run automatically with 2FA enabled. Drive is therefore useless for me so I'm going elsewhere

A Linux client would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's embarrassing that you are working on stupid nonsense like Wallet before giving a go at a linux client for Drive. While it is true that linux desktop users are not as numerous as Windows/MacOS desktop users, they are quite influential and literal evangelists when it comes to spreading knowledge about software.

It does not make Proton look good that they are working on Wallet instead of finishing Drive for Linux which already has a lot of customers, people who have already paid for it and have been for a long time and still don't have what they paid for.

I am flabbergasted that a Windows ARM version is released before a linux version, despite the latter being the second highest ranked issue on this platform. I know that single users don't really make a big difference to Proton with its thousands of users, but there are 3.399 votes on this issue by now. I would really appreciate at least a statement on why it's so difficult to come up with a cross-distribution solution to ProtonDrive on linux, or some kind of roadmap on this. ****, I would even contribute to a fundraiser, if necessary. I was told some month (4 or was it 6 already?) ago, that I should keep my eyes pealed for an update on the ProtonDrive roadmap, but I'm slowly losing hope. I guess if nothing changes in a few month, I will revoke my subscription, accept the vendor-lock-in and go to apple. I'm really disappointed.

I am a paid Proton user and I use Linux. I would love for Proton Drive to work on Linux like it does on Windows. There are already 3,388 votes for this and I would love to see Proton mark this as completed.

This is VERY critical, please release something as soon as possible!

I thought it was available for Linux as well when I subscribed.

Please, please, please, please, please, please.

Please, please, please, please, please, please.

Please with knobs on. Please!

I have completely gotten off of Windows in favor of linux, except that I still have to run a Windows VM solely for the purpose of syncing Proton Drive and exposing via SMB. This is a really clunky solution. I'm very happy with my Proton subscription, except for the lack of a linux drive client (which I need way more than a password manager or crypto wallet or doc editor).

I have decided to abandon the spyware giants, Microsoft, Google, and Apple's malignant services. I would like to have the Proton suite available for Linux, at least Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora or something. I am paying the monthly subscription. I do not mind paying $20 instead for this to be realized.

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.

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.
