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

Critical by here. I'm paying a different provider (not cheap), until there's a Linux client for drive.

Longtime proton subscriber and Linux user, for me this is a necessary next feature for proton drive. Please prioritise!

A Linux Drive client is critical for me to switch to Proton. I don't use either Mac or MS.
As a pro open-source company, providing Linux support seems like it should be a priority for Proton. At least on the road map, please.

How is this not already a thing? I'll write the driver myself if you pay me. FUSE would be great.
In the mean time it looks like filen.io is a reasonable alternative to Proton Drive.

As a privacy aware user I don't use Microsoft products. So it would be critical for me to have a safe drive permanently in sync with my local files.

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. -

I long time user and Linux client is a must for me.

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 would love to use the Linux app!!

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.
