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 a bit riduclous, I pay for the suite which includes the drive but have to pay again for a different drive provider because there's no linux client for proton drive. Most other major providers have Linux clients - SpiderOak and Mega are encrypted zerio knowledge but still have (******) Linux clients. I'd be happy just to mount it to the file system, dont' need an interface, Linux has various generic ways to do that. OK most providers' linux clients are buggy and installation needs coaxing but they at least exist! It gets my goat a bit paying twice because Proton drive is not practicable on Linux.

paying customer for mail, I would use your family plan and switch from another provider in a pinch if you supported linux (even through CLI only)

Paying customer. If you truly want to build a privacy first internet, you *must* support Linux.
I appreciate that is has the smallest install base, but it should not be so far behind in terms of support.

Proton is claiming to be an advocate for open source, security, etc... but Linux is always the last OS to be implemented. I Kknow there are fewer users for Linux and there are various distri but still, show us that Linux matters when open source and security matters.

I agree with most of the comments here. Been a paying proton user for a few years now, and happily so. I totally understand that linux takes a backseat to windows and mac development, but it's dissapointing to see that a linux client is not even part of the roadmap...

unfortunately without this proton drive is nearly useless as i move from windows. id love to see proton become thr first and only encrypted file storage solution with a native linux client (even if it only supports NTFS or rclone)

Moving to Linux is a core part of my recent privacy push, how can Proton claim to be a privacy-focused service and not offer Linux support? First time I'm disappointed with this company.

I like the family plan. However, a Linux sync app is essential. Linux is the only operating system my family and I use. I'll check back in a few months to see if it's available.

Gnome accounts allows for google drive syncing with Nautilus or Nimo file managers. What if Proton Bridge for Linux included the ability to sync with common Linux file managers?

Really wanted to switch to Unlimited using the end of year discounts, but had to pass because of the lack of a proton drive linux app

I'm trialling Proton Mail/Drive at the moment, and it's disappointing to see that 18 months after this UserVoice idea was created there's still no Linux client. As others have said, even a CLI tool would be fine.

Proton Drive from Android --> GNU/Linux is a hop, skip and a jump away ;)

You can use https://rclone.org/ (can you not?) ;-)

A linux client for Proton Drive is the final piece in my journey to leave Google and secure my info. Please develop and release one for us.

I don't understand why you neglect Linux like that. If you really believe in what you say, and if it's not just hypocrisy and opportunism, you should publish a fully functional Linux app at the same time than for Windows and Mac. It's like the Proton VPN Linux app : lack of essential functionalities, etc, it works bad, come years later... A shame.
