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

In order to be able to use Proton Drive effectively, this is a must for me.

Yes, as a full Proton subscriber and user this would be amazing. It would basically allow me to cancel Dropbox, save that money and have everything in the Proton family!.

I use only PCs with Linux both at home and at work. Proton Drive, as it is now, is totally useless. A client for automatic synchronization of files and folders is essential!

I'm a Linux-only user, I LOVE Proton and I long for the day I can have all my data secured by you!... Please, when will you release a Linux desktop client?

I would really like to use proton drive to store my most sensitive documents, currently I have to rely on Dropbox for the same.

I'd like to move away from Dropbox and Google Drive. Both of those services allow me to mount files on my Fedora Linux host but Proton Drive does not. That puts a fork in the eye of my migration, so to speak.

I'm going to go full-Linux for personal use soon and I would like to make use of Proton Drive for syncing across my devices. A Linux client (both GUI and headless) is critically needed for Proton Drive.

I am also switching away from Google ecosystem, but not having Linux file sync functionality prevents me from making use of Drive.
I am also paying a lot of money for Proton services, and so far it's not been an easy ride. -

I`m thinking about switching from the Google ecosystem to the Proton one. Being able to mount Proton Drive remotely on my Ubuntu Linux machine is the game-changer that will make me do it. As otehr users have correctly pointed out, a Flatpak would be the appropriate way of implementing this.

Looking forward to a linux flatpak... We have the bridge and VPN, now we need drive!

I can't believe this is not available yet. It is such an important feature.

I'm a Proton Unlimited subscriber with an annually renewing subscription. Over the past year, I've been migrating from Windows to Linux. About 80-90% of my time is now on Linux. I've even been interested in Proton Drive for a while. I've even considered upgrading to a higher tier Proton subscription plan for the sake of increasing my Proton Drive space. However, until a viable Linux syncing solution emerges for Proton Drive, I can't move forward with such an idea.
P.S. As a Fedora user, I also hope that if a Linux app does materialize, that it can support us non-Ubuntu users too, say in the form of an appimage, flatpak app, or an .rpm offered alongside the usual .deb.

I think this is a must. Even gdrive, mega, dropbox, ... have linux compatible options.
If there was a Linux App, I would love to use it. -

Linux is the daily driver for security minded folks. I'm also a Visionary member.
Would be interested in seeing it done like a Git repo, if that is easier.

I hope Proton Mail Bridge can integrate Proton Drive as well

I am using SpiderOak One for secure file storage and syncing between machines. They haven't said they are discontinuing that service but they have said they are now a "space oriented" company. I would love to use Proton drive instead.

This is must-have, since people concerned with security tend to be Linux users. I can't purchase Proton Drive until there is Linux support.

This is really critical for the usability of the storage solution

Still waiting for that commitment and support for the community that helped get Proton up off the ground.
