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

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 :(

Just switched to Linux, because I'm trying to get away from Microsoft and Google. Please add Linux support. I need to sync my documents up with my remaining Windows PCs.

This has already been mentioned but I detect no progress on the matter. I use Linux Ubuntu. Proton Drive has a computer app for Windows and Mac but not for Linux (and there appears to be no work-around). This is crazy. I want to sync my files with Proton Drive, so as to have a secure, private back-up in the cloud but am unable to do so. Instead I have to manually engender a copy every month or so and then delete the old copies. Please give this serious attention

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 ?

The inability to create and manage syncs from Linux is a real problem for me as I have just completed migrating from Windows to Linux. I wish I'd researched this issue a bit more before making the decision to purchase an Ultimate account. And no indication of when we might expect this? At least Filen provides this functionality.

I don't know if you've noticed, but this is the top one request. The only request higher than this is the Proton Docs, which is already released and so doesn't count. I really hope Proton makes a Linux Client for it.

Please, please, please, can we have a Linux app for Proton Drive? I've switched over to the entire Proton suite of apps, but I can't fully migrate my cloud storage to Proton Drive until a Linux app is available.

Linux users are used to being an afterthought and having clients that are not quite as spiffy as Mac & Windows, but we'd still really appreciate having a Drive client. Proton could release one either in the form of a .deb + .rpm, or even something more universal like Flatpack or Snap. (I'm not a big fan of either of these, but I'll take what I can get.)
We may not be as large a market segment as the two mainstream OS's but we are an engaged group of people.

with Microsoft and google spying more and more we need to have the same functionality in linux. Please dedicate the same time to linux as windows.

It would be great to have a Linux app (can be CLI, I don't need a GUI) that syncs the drive with local storage. I'm using Dropbox now who have a Linux client, but it's proprietary so I cannot run it on Asahi Linux for instance. Or FreeBSD. Or any other open source OS for that matter. I think a great addition for a lot of your privacy-aware clientele.

Crazy that there's no interest from Proton in doing this.

Have transitioned from Windoze to Ubuntu over the last year (also a previous Mac user at times). Most apps work on Ubuntu including zoom -
Proton Drive is pretty much the only fly in the honey.
PS I have been a paying Proton user since 2018. Have really enjoyed the enhancements over that time.
