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

As a total linux user, I have no need for Windows. Your proton bridge has been excellent to me, and I use it for four accounts. Dropbox too is invaluable for my business, as I can work on appraisals in the main directory and automatically upload them to it. I'd like to have a backup cloud backup using P-drive using the same capabilities; automatic uploads.
One thing I'd like to see over Dropbox's upload. The ability to use syslinks. For example, have a main folder for working, and the /syslink/ is linked to the p-drive upload directory so it uploads the files like Dropbox. Dropbox is the other way around. I have to have a syslink to my main drive but the true files are in the dropbox directory.

Either this and/or support for webdav.
My debian needs another docker container for automated backups

My primary computer is Linux Ubuntu, so it has to work with that. I would pay money for it today if it worked with Ubuntu!
I use Windows on other computers, so it needs to be cross-platform. -

2 years ago, i switched to proton to stop administrating my own server, and it was grait. Then i paid the offer with the drive to stop my nextcloud server and i was very desappointed : no sync app for linux.
But now, i see there is only version of that kind of app for MS or MAC ? OK, again very desappointed.

I am legitimately surprised to see a MS/Mac version of this app release without so much as a mention of Linux support on the roadmap.
Without a desktop app or partner integration, the feature is essentially unusable. Further, all of the free / gift storage being thrown at long-time users (like me) on Linux provides next to no value-add as things currently stand.

The cli for Linux would be really, really very useful.

I would especially love to see E2EE git integration with Proton Drive, similar or identical to KeyBase. KeyBase seems to be dying since Zoom took over; a good alternative is necessary.

This is the only thing keeping me from switching everything to Pronton. And sadly, i noticed that the reference to Linux on the Proton Drive Roadmap was removed.

I am already a customer for Calendar and Mail on the Plus plan. I would like to use drive but my main limitation is the impossibility to use it in my Linux system.
This is a critical feature for me and I would go to Proton Unlimited if this feature gets on the Proton suite. This along side some automatic synchronization feature would be great to allow automatic backups.

Crucial; I will not use Proton Drive otherwise, also not on non-linux machines.

rclone has recently added support for Proton Drive, but it is still a work in progress

I'd love to switch over to ProtonDrive.
However, not having a client for my desktop/laptop is preventing it. -

Without sending data from a Linux machine the proton drive is useless for me.

This is a killer feature for I would pay!
I'm using private Nextcloud for syncing but Proton would work as more secure and safe place for my most important files.
Also a long time paid user.

I use MEGA for syncing to an encrypted drive. I am a paid Proton user from way back. Check to see if I can sync... nope, Microgarbage only. As someone else commented... where is the parity? I would switch everything over, if only I could. I am spending all of my votes on this issue. Linux syncing, puh-lease.

charles austin commented
Please please please, a syncing client packaged as a .deb

Hello, I greatly understand the Proton Team is very busy (As I am a Developer as well). However There are many of us in the Linux Community that would greatly benefit from your Drive services being somehow accessible via linux. The community is simply just asking for the team to take this into serious consideration. A lot of us would be relieved to see a statement saying it is planned *Not asking for a date, just planned).

I understand that a client for Linux is not the top priority. But no Linux client is not understandable for probably the most security-conscious community that has deliberately turned away from big tech.
