thank you very for work you done. The application for syncronisation with linux would be greate ! Thanks !

please focus on the proton drive API, it would be great if it could be released till the end of this year

so annoying there is no proper client and the unofficial rclone solution just stopped working

Please create a proton drive client for linux fedora! If you are serious about privacy then supporting your products with linux clients is a must. Please put for resources where your heart is.

Even an API would do the trick. The community could build a client(s).

Hello Proton team,

First of all, thank you for the amazing work you do to protect privacy and build trustworthy tools. I’m a Proton Unlimited user and I've been enjoying Proton Drive, but the fact that there’s still no native sync client for Linux is a big issue. For many of us, Linux is our main platform, and the lack of an official client makes it difficult to fully rely on Proton Drive for daily workflows. I currently find myself seeking less-than-ideal alternatives and workarounds that ultimately undermine Proton's premise of quality, privacy, and security.

I know priorities are always a balance, but I’d like to kindly ask if you could move Linux client support higher on the roadmap. It would really strengthen Proton’s appeal to the privacy-focused community that already uses Linux heavily.

Thank you for considering, and for all the great work you’re doing.

Best regards,
George

The absence of the proton app under linux is a blocking to use the full extend of possibilities.
Also, is seems a bit counter-productive for the Proton values.
I use the tools to prevent me from the Digital Services Act, Cloud Act, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which I find are not justified, even if legal.
Using Microsoft Windows or Apple MacOS even with no servers in the U.S. could make us fall into this legislation, as OS providers, have data transiting into their software.
Using a Linux, and specially designed distros could help avoïd this.

For another topic and test purposes, is it possible to have the binaries of the Windows version, not packed into the installer?
I would like to experiment if all goes fine when used under Linux with Wine and the gaming for Linux various compatibility libraries could just simply work.
Best,
Fab.

Trying to move away from Microsoft in every way - Proton looks like it checks most boxes, but it really needs a drive application for Linux/Ubuntu!

This is a killer feature for Linux users - so much more important now with Windows 10 EOL.

I've been Proton unlimited user for years. NOT having ProtonDrive on my linux machine is preventing me to fully utilize the Proton ecosystem I am happy to pay for. I don't need your Cryptowallet although it's nice, I need ProtonDrive on linux!!!

I just cancelled all my subscription is so angry at Proton. I really can't believe Proton has delivered anything to Linux beside half baked apps VPN is basically a joke a drive doesn't exist Linux should not pay the same amount of money as macOS and windows since we don't get half the featurs. 2025 and proton drive is still not available shame on proton

Three years. That’s how long this kinda requests has been open. In that time Proton launched Docs, Photos, Pass, Wallet… but still no Linux Drive client.

Proton says it defends freedom and privacy, yet it only supports Windows and macOS—the two platforms with the heaviest telemetry. Meanwhile, Dropbox, pCloud, Mega, Nextcloud, Icedrive, Internxt and others have had Linux clients for years.

I’m a Visionary subscriber. “rclone” is not a solution—it’s unreliable, buggy, and not acceptable as the official fallback. Linux has one kernel, and AppImage, Flatpak, Snap, and FUSE already exist. Supporting at least one filesystem (EXT4, BTRFS, ZFS) is not rocket science in 2025.

Even Proton’s own idea board proves it: Linux client requests are among the most upvoted of all time. Yet they get buried under “Hot” while in “Top” they stand out. The community has spoken, loudly and repeatedly.

This is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s critical. And postponing it any further is indefensible. Proton, if you want to keep credibility with the people who care most about privacy and open-source values, act now.

It’s been over three years since this request was opened, and still no Linux client exists. In that time, Proton has built many new products and features, but left behind something so basic as file sync support on the operating system most widely used by people who actually care about privacy.

Proton presents itself as a company that protects security and digital freedom, yet it only provides clients for the two platforms with the most invasive telemetry on the planet: Windows and macOS. The absence of a Linux client feels intentional, not accidental.

I’ve been subscribed to the Visionary plan for over a year, and “rclone” cannot be the solution—it comes with too many problems. At the very least, if the challenge is filesystem support, start with just one: BTRFS, ZFS, or EXT4. In an era of AI-driven development, this selective lack of support is simply inadmissible.

A proper Linux client is not a “nice to have” feature—it is essential for users who want to move away from closed ecosystems and entrust their data to Proton. This is not a secondary issue; it’s critical. If Proton wants to keep credibility with the community that values open source and privacy the most, it needs to address this request clearly and make it a priority.

Thanks

Proton provides everything I need, except for a Linux client for Drive. It would be great if the client existed. It's also a bit of a shame that Lumo claims it does exist. Please don't let your AI lie :)

I'm happy with Proton for mail, pass and vpn, but not having drive sync functionality costs me money and time since it prevents me from moving over to Linux/Ubuntu as my only desktop OS.
Mail and Drive clients are the basics and they should be available for Linux.

I would love to finally move all my devices to linux. I really dislike the big tech companies, and with the current US president, I'm honestly scared using American tech products. File sync is crucial to me, it's basically the only reason I'm holding off on using proton for everything and finally paying for it.

Please, please, please! We need this desperately!

I am loosing my mind over the terrible RClone implementation for protondrive and am praying to god that an official linux client gets created sooner rather than later.
Please give us Proton Drive linux client, we have been asking for years, it's the most voted on issue here, and you said you would have it this summer in the blog post... summer is over in a week, please deliver.

Seen the End of Summer sale; looked like time to switch everything to Proton; until I tried to get my file backups from dropbox to Proton; tried a lot of solutions; but nothing really worked; will wait till there is a proper solution for the proton drive for linux

This is really important to me, especially as Microsoft continues to erode privacy at the OS level. The web portal is an alright solution for occasional usage, but doesn't really cut it for day-to-day use.

I like Lumo and dislike crypto. But I agree with the overall sentiment to focus on refining the quality and broadening support for existing services. I don't use Linux at the moment (apart from WSL), but I might in the future.

The Windows desktop application is already a bit buggy. For example, I can't properly uninstall Drive or Authenticator because of some unknown error; it does not support removable media or syncing external drives; I can't move or select the install location, and so on. Not a big deal for me currently, but maybe for others.
