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

We are a paying business customers, and We have migrated from Gmail, and it's obvious that we deserve some way to synchronize Proton Drive with our Linux machines.

Proton Drive for Linux would be great. I would get Premium for that too.

This is absolutely critical! I don't use neither Windows nor Mac, the only reason that keeps me from replacing Dropbox with Protondrive is sync.

Ditto what Chuck Biscuits just said. Proton, help your US customers out. Things are getting too weird here. I want to move completely away from all US tech as I'm sure many more also want to do. We need a Linux client for Proton Drive. This may be a very good opportunity for Proton.

Just repeating what everyone else is saying here.
I started moving from Gmail/OneDrive to Proton for general privacy but that has now accelerated to getting away from US tech - especially with Musk poking his nose into everything.
For that reason, I'm also moving to Linux because Windows is basically spyware now.
2x PC's migrated already, just my laptop to go - which will be done in the next few days.
Even with OneDrive, I could get automatic sync on Linux with rclone, but that's only at beta just now for ProtonDrive and I don't want to risk using it.I believe a privacy focused company should provide at least a basic client for Linux.

Good afternoon, I am a user and I have not been able to connect with my proton address (???).
GNU/Linux users also deserve a file/folder synchronization program.
It has been many years of waiting. But as soon as possible.
If it is not done promptly, I will have to cancel part of my services with Proton, because the cost is high without having the same features as other users at the same cost.Thanks

It’s been so long that we’ve been waiting for this, and yet despite 3 years and 3600 votes, it still hasn’t happened. Sometimes, or rather, all the time, I feel like companies don’t want Linux. By the way, did you know that Voicemod has been doing the same to us for a while now...?

I recently became a paying Proton customer mainly for privacy reasons - I've just migrated from Gmail & OneDrive. Next on my privacy list is moving fully to Linux, because privacy just isn't possible on Windows any more.
My 2x PC's are already runnning Fedora & Mint. That just leaves my laptop which will be done soon. The web products are OK, but it would be far better to have a native client. -

Arch, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Opens use, RedHat, we all wait for you !
It worth mentioning there are duplicated issues, thus giving more traction to this one !
ATM I need to use Rclone to sync my protondrive but this is really temporary as I don't want to sync my files in CLI everytime.
Just makes the life of the user that supports privacy easier ! We share the same philosophy as Proton.

For people like me, using Linux, beeing able to synchonize some folder on Linux and Proton Drive would be very useful.

Absolutely needed. I am switching to Proton, ditching Microsoft and Google completely, I need a way to easily backup Linux and to automatically backup using TrueNAS cloud backups.

How is it possible for a company whose business model is based on privacy and data security to make such a stupid show of contempt for the community that cares most about privacy? It is a real shot in the foot for the future of this company. Linux users are undoubtedly the most concerned about privacy and the most enthusiastic defenders of the goodness of those principles. What makes a company that wants to be truly competitive disregard such an important resource? I don't understand it.

Proton Drive vai ser ainda melhor com um cliente Linux. É unir uma ferramenta útil com um sistema que um dos focos é privacidade. Isso tornaria as coisas muito mais seguras.
