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

Crucial feature. Preferable for all common platforms (personally: Windows, Linux, Android)

I love the way Proton approaches things and have been paying for VPN and mail. I used to pay SpiderOak for their cloud backup service, switched to Mega.io, but I would love to move all my backups to Proton. For me to do that, two things are necessary. 1) a Linux client that will automatically backup files from any directory I choose and synchronize between computers. 2) a reasonable fee for 2 - 5 TB of storage that is competitive with Mega or Jotta.

This is the critical feature for me to use this and to recommend it to others.

This is the only reason why I have not yet switched from dropbox to proton drive

Thank you for making this suggestion. Yeah, Proton, please do this as a matter of priority. This would be really important to all linux users of your services. I've been on what you now call unlimited plan for a few years now, and this right here is the only reason I still have to use some other cloud solutions as well. It would really be awesome of we could auto sync folders, drives, and store backups from our linux devices directly to Proton Drive.

Few file syncing services have a Linux client - this could really solidify a Linux following for Proton services. There is already a large overlap in philosophy. And thank you for the support you already provide Linux users :)

This one is critical to me and would really just make all the proton products first class citizens on the Linux platform. I use the Linux desktop as my daily driver and have been for more than 10 years. I stay away from the spyware that is windows and macOS

i would prefer Proton to NOT work together with Canonical. there are plenty ways to integrate your preferred email client into your preferred linux applications, we dont need more braindead handling. in fact, uservoice having facebook and google tracking elements is bad enough

This is an essential feature for wide ranging adoption of drive

I am running Ubuntu Linux for my daily use and keep all my work and private files on my Linux OS.
When I go to the system backup option, I can choose between:
- Google Drive
- Network location
- Local DiskIt would be great to be able to synchronize my personal files straight into my ProtonDrive and keep them up to date via either the integrated backup tool in Ubuntu or a desktop app that can synchronize my personal folders to ProtonDrive.
I cannot speak to the architecture of other Linux distros as I have insufficient knowledge of them.

... and for Windows users. Have been trying to make 3rd party file-syncing apps work with Drive; no luck so far. Thanks!

Bonus with this feature: support symbolic links. This used to work with Dropbox, works at the creation of files with MEGA (but not when their content is updated) and would be very useful to increase the integration of ProtonDrive with the user environment, without risking the loss of access to files in case of connection drop.

I know ProtonDrive is still very new (in beta even!). Drag and drop is fine for now but I'd love to see a sync client so I can save files locallyt and have them push up to the ProtonDrive storage :)
