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

A Linux app or at least CLI interface for Proton Drive.
Proton Drive with Linux would be perfect and fulfil a lot of what people require using linux to move to proton from other cloud storage providers.
rsync have built in a feature for using proton drive via their CLI however this is not yet fully integrated with Proton Drive from what I have seen.

Not having a way to use drive with Linux is a major failing. I see this has been open for 2 years. If you want to retain linux users you need to give it, at least, equal priority.

Would love for this to work. I have seen an rclone script for this, but I haven't tested.

Upcoming windows features including "recall" are a substantial security and privacy risk. Even if it is possible to fully disable, Microsoft has a history of enabling feature in updates that users have disabled. Linux support may soon become essential.

a service that claims to put privacy and security first and then doesn't support the leading operating system dedicated to them is disappointing, suspicious and undermines user trust. Repent!

Please make all the apps available for download. I want to become a subscriber, but I don't like, use or trust Windwos and MacOS.

its a dealbreaker. there's some irony in being privacy focused, without supporting the most privacy focused systems.

It's insane this hasn't been done. Proton needs to focus more on the Linux community!

For the love of god, do it already. For all your talk about privavy, security and getting the web out of big tech's grasp, not supporting Linux for one of your core services is mindboggling.

I also am a paying subscriber. I would greatly appreciate a proton drive client for linux, because my main workstation is a linux machine. I am already using the linux client for proton vpn. Maybe an appimage or a flatpak to give trans-distro compatibility...

I've had a paid subscription to proton services almost since the start, but have only used protonmail all this time. As I look to adopt more of the proton ecosystem, having a native Linux client for proton drive is a critical requirement for me.

I just went proton. mail and vpn are set.
proton drive would really round it all out. -

I would love a Linux version (.deb in my case) of the local client already offered to Windows and Mac users. I am fully Linux, and have been using Protonmail for over six years.

I think my next machine, used mainly for development, will be running Ubuntu. But without proton drive, i'm not so sure.

In order to centralize safely personal documents (important), it is the last piece that would allow me to synchronize my laptops (personal or work) with my phone. Currently I use Cozy.io because of this linux app.

I second all of the above comments. The only thing stopping me from fully committing to Proton (and adopting a paid plan) is the lack of real-time synchronisation on Linux similar to what Nextcloud has (beautifully) achieved with its own client (and the wonderful integration with Nautilus and Dolphin).
As others have mentioned, publishing the API could be an intermediary step that would allow for a proper rclone solution (until they finish developing their own client). Andy Yen recently said in an interview with Nicolas (The Linux Experiment) that Proton's "cultural DNA" is open source, open standards, and open science, so please help the Linux community build a proper Proton client.

This is the only feature keeping me from paying for Proton services. I am a Fedora linux user. Without a Linux client the Proton Drive is worthless to me.
