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

it's been a disappointment for years to wait for a native linux client when every other platform are supported

Proton, I understand your staff has limited Linux developers but just...hire more staff to work on Proton VPN and Proton Drive simultaneously. This has been a bleeding hole in the side of the Proton suite for YEARS. You're supposed to be the champions of privacy but don't support a main component of your suite on a rapidly growing segment of the desktop user market.

Well it's NOT working especially well with rclone @pace44
I tested it thoroughly October - November 2024 and could get it working decently stable for one account but not at all for two other accounts, and there has been no new commits to the code since September 2024: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commits/master/backend/protondrive/protondrive.go
In the documentation ( https://rclone.org/protondrive/ + https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/docs/content/protondrive.md ) it also clearly states that ProtonDrive has evolved since the code was written ... it's just not working well enough right now to be fully trusted and not even well enough that you can use it at all for all accounts.

A Proton Drive client for Linux is as must.

While there's an unstable support for protondrive in rclone, an official Proton Drive client is a MUST, please!

My wife and I have both permanently migrated to Linux....we are sad that we have no Proton Drive apps to manage syncing our files.
Please get this worked on so that we can have some trustworthy offsite backup.

A bit disappointing every other platform has had this for some time but not Linux. Linux users understand more about the actual need for security and privacy, hence the reason they're using it. Linux needs to stop being treated like the redheaded step child when it comes to getting in on the same benefits and I would expect a release for platform support to be close together for all platforms, yet others have had it for some time.
