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

I'm kind of dissapointed that they already have a Bitcoin Wallet, AI services, but we still don't have a client for Linux for this.

Hopefully they publish a Linux app soon!

Patiently waiting for this. In the mean time, RClone sorta works, but is a huge pain because it's slow and complicated.

Honestly, it would be so easy for them to make this available as a flatpak and distribute it to almost all Linux desktops in one release. It's practically a criminal omission on their part.

Surprised this still doesn't exist

If proton is serious about privacy it absolutely must support Linux. Having a reliable Linux client for Proton Drive is critical for users.

Even just supporting Ubuntu, TrueNas Scale, and a couple of other 'popular' options would be great. I just need enough support to create a SMB share that doesn't need a 'paid' OS. Heck, pick something that doesn't change much (again, TrueNas Scale) and focus dev on that initially to get something stable, then let the ND masses find ways to port it for you.

Should be a much higher priority than Proton Scribe and Proton Wallet.

They are working on it, but, as they said, it is very chalanging task, more so than vpn client. -

I decided to make the move from Gmail to Protonmail at least 7 or 8 years ago, and from Windows to Linux about 4 years ago. I have an Unlimited account, and the last critical piece of infrastructure for a truly independent and private/secure working environment is to have a native desktop drive connector, like the one for Windows, for _Linux_. Here's hoping for more resources ... 🤞

They didn't even acknowledged that they are/will work on this feature. This is really sad. Until they do, LINUX CLIENT WHEN?

after 2800 votes over two years, there's not really much to add other than votes

Really wish Proton would do this, much more useful than AI, to me at least.

I wish you would focus on this instead of releasing new half baked services every 3 months 🤦

As a Proton Unlimited user, it hurts I still use Mega for Local File Cloud Sync.
Proton - by the Community(Linux, Windows and Mac) , for the Community (Windows and Mac).
The VPN Client they made for Linux is very slow, hangs when launches.
I am not sure why Mac and Windows client were made sooner with lesser votes than Linux. The votes on Windows and Mac - even combined not reach 1000. -
