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.

I would love to back my Linux computer up to Proton Drive. I have my fingers crossed for a client that also allows me to mount Proton Drive over Samba or SFTP.

I am trying to improve how I share my private data, I tried to create my own Mail, Calendar, Storage server, lost lot of time, then I moved to Proton Mail, but not having a drive sync app for linux make me thinks to go back to create my own private server, using NextCloud instead

Switched from windows to Linux this year. Felt sure that as such a security conscious company, a Linux client for proton drive would soon be released. Can it really be true that such a critical item is now not even on the planning list ?

Have been a paid user for many years in order to support Proton (the free account would easily meet my needs), now feeling really sad if a Microsoft only policy is now in place.

Absolutely necessary. Especially because there is no real alternative at all. Stuff like Nextcloud is not E2EE, and Tresorit is closed source. We need a good secure cloud storage client for Linux that is open source. And it would be great if you would also provide aarch64 builds, but if the client is open source then we can also create binaries ourselves thankfully.

I totally agree with these comments and 100% support this Linux client idea.

I'm a Mail plus subscriber and use the Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS distribution on my home PC, so I deeply regret not being able to automatically synchronize my Drive folders.

I don't quite understand why the development of this feature isn't a priority, but I sincerely hope that it will be. I personally find it indispensable.

Best regards.

Pour pouvoir synchroniser ses dossier et fichiers comme avec Windows ou Mac OS

Not having a native linux drive app is the only thing preventing me from buying full ultimate version.

I really like linux and proton but this is just unbareable, like having to go through the webapp or use some semi reverse engineerd drive https://rclone.org/protondrive/. I haven't tested rclone yet but it might work but still I need an app or at least a service I can configure to sync my files with proton, the app is secondary.

Dear Proton Team

Is it really true that this didn't yet make into the "PLANNED" items?

It is the second-most wanted feature at the time of writing, and above both the currently "PLANNED" ones (one of which has only 16 votes).

It would be really useful to understand why it is not a priority, given the support it has on the "official" customer voice collection community.
Is it a major technical challenge (that would greatly surprise me...)?

Proton i know you will make one !

with the increasing popularity of linux this should be a no-brainer

same here visionary and linux users, using only 5% of the drive because of the lack of client on linux.

Use of Linux is growing according to the Dutch company which supplied my desktop computer and they attribute this to a growing awareness of the security and privacy issues with proprietary OSs and growing support for the principles of FOSS. This chimes with the principles of Proton and I feel there is a need for Proton to give more weight to meeting the needs of Linux users and not just in respect of Proton Drive.

I look forward to a Proton app which allows access to all the Proton services and to a growing awareness of Proton among Linux users and a stronger association between Proton and Linux in the minds of all.

Currently paying for full tier subscription and not making efficient use of proton drive due to non-compatibility with GNU/Linux . Please add client support . If you treat security seriously the Linux client sound have been release FIRST not still waiting after windows and macOS, even a basic CLI would be fine

Totally agree with the comments below.
If you expect us to consciously select a storage solution, you can expect us to make a conscious choice of OS as well. So please, Linux client!

many privacy conscious users run linux - will offer key functionality to core users.

I have proton Unlimited, partly because i saw that Proton Drive for Linux is on the roadmap.
For a privacy focused company, Linux should be a priority!

Proton Drive is useless without a desktop client. No real security is possible outside of Linux.

A desktop client is necessary for Proton Drive being useful. A command line tool would be totally sufficient!
