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

Totally critical to be fully useful.

Child you please, at least, collaborate with the RClone team?!

How tf is is possible that some guy can create this: `https://github.com/DonnieDice/protondrive-linux`. But the company who's user-base supposedly cares about privacy doesn't offer a proton drive linux client...

It's apparent that Proton is putting a lot of work into innovative and highly important new products like, for instance, their AI-think (...Lumo). That's excellent :-) Their expanding on many fronts.
BUT by now, I have been waiting for quite some time on "Proton Drive for Linux". Maybe I can't appreciate the hurdles implementing something like this, poses to Proton. Maybe it's just too difficult.

This is basic functionality for a cloud drive. Embarrassing that there is no Linux client.

it was said that a drive client would be released for linux "this summer" in their blog, and it is almost the end of 2025, a shame we've been waiting for so long with no clarity on why the delay is here :(

Really, 4861 votes and Proton shows no interest? This is so ridiculous! This actually shows how much a company has an interest in its customers!
Marketing is the soul of business, but the reality of actions destroys marketing!

For me and many other users who are migrating to Linux, a desktop client would be very useful, besides, honestly, in the case of Drive, a web client helps, but the daily interaction is horrible. I believe it's past Proton time to create a desktop client for Linux.

4,850 votes and still not begin.
Seriously problematic. -

what a shame, a lot of promise but little action. releasing useless new products like lumo, but can't sort out core products like proton drive for linux.

I see this has been requested a long time ago. I am surprised that Proton has not come up with a Linux version of this popular app. This is a real showstopper for me as I move away from Windows.

My subscription still has time left, but if there is no working app for Linux by the end of it, I'm gone.

It's crazy to me you cranked out Ai before completing your other products Specifically Proton Drive for Linux. I am a cross platform developer myself and prefer Kubuntu over everything else out there. Plasma is the WAY. I use Rclone Browser currently and it works okay but it's tedious and ugly. I would throw money and my own labor at developing this if needed. Anything to make it happen at this point... We are all waiting in lost love of Linux land.

Another year another disappointment. I've been using proton for my business for 2 years now under the assumption that Linux support would be coming. Unfortunately, it's about time I cancelled my proton subscription and moved over to Office 365 or a service provider for Nextcloud. I had really high hopes for proton as I thought they would finally be the one to provide a decent office suite for work that supported Linux.

With Windows ending Windows 10 support, I would imagine there will be a lot of people coming over to Ubuntu and they will be wanting to have the ability to sync their Proton Drive like they could on Windows. This really needs to happen soon.

We need Linux support because we cannot work with bulk files in a web browser and I absolutely do not trust 3rd party software with my Proton information.
