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

I am a visionary subscriber but frankly I don't know how much longer I'm going to keep paying if they keep ignoring Linux.
I don't understand why Linux support is even a question for a supposedly privacy focused open-source company. Any time they make a desktop app they should plan for Windows, Linux, and MacOS support from the start. Just like planning for Android and iOS on mobile. We shouldn't have to beg for it.

It's very important for me to be able to automate the synchronization of a Linux folder.
I use mainly Linux Mint Cinnamon. -

Why not? I have been a paid user for years and I am surprised that a client for Linux is not in your plans, I continue paying for OneDrive only because I cannot use Proton Drive on Linux, please focus on this client since it is essential.

I'm a premium subscriber for now, but Proton Drive needs a linux client.

Good evening,
I think it's essential that Linux clients, like Windows and MacOS, also benefit from natively synchronized protondrive access.
Please make this a priority 1 in your developments!
Best regards -

I really want to get the proton drive but without a linux client it's literally useless for me. I need to sync files directly from my laptop to the drive and not manually upload from the browser. That's why I'm currently at another provider.

Was about to take out a Proton Unlimited subscription but this is no good to me without a Linux client for drive.

I currently use infomaniak instead, waiting for Proton to release a version for ubuntu or equivalent.
As Proton become more and more successfull, Linux is less and less considered, disapointing ! -

As a premium subscriber, I cannot emphasize enough how vital it is that Proton Drive gets a Linux client. It's necessary for my workflow. A large proportion of your paying customers are privacy conscious and use operating systems like Linux. Please extend an olive branch for these users with no less than 14 pages of comments supporting this move.

You have a Windows client and a Mac clienet. Please add a Linux client. I know Google has ignored Linux users, but you're better than Google. Please add a linux client.
Thank you

Ich verstehe nicht, wieso eine Firma, welche sich "Sicherheit" auf die Fahne schreibt, nicht als allererstes einen Linux-Sync-Client erstellt.

Totally, even a stable rclone implementation would work for me.

New Proton unlimited member here; desperately waiting for a Linux client, preferably AppImage so its compatible with every linux install. Not sure why windows is given better support overall than linux since this is supposed to be a privacy-conscious company.
Can't even use proton drive till this is implemented. PRIORITY 1 FOLKS. THROW US A *frickin* BONE. (Dr. evil voice)

Just want to point out that any linux client *needs* to have a (preferably lightweight) CLI option without requiring any kind of desktop client to be installed. Otherwise it's useless for syncing with servers or from docker images.
After login/acquiring tokens there's only like a 3 or 4 step process from "initiate upload" to "send file blocks", I don't see why this couldn't be a shell script with curl. Maybe there's something I'm missing, havent actually tried, but maybe as a stopgap the dev team could create this (with disclaimers as needed).

I am fully paid into the Proton infrastructure and also request that a Linux client can be made available. Syncing files is really important for backup and connectivity purposes. Otherwise keep up the good work.

It's a shame that Proton publicized the MacOS client's launch with the phrasing that Proton Drive is available for "all major platforms" when it is not available for Linux. Even if you put forward an argument that Linux is not as popular as Mac for a client OS (and there are sometimes stats indicating that is not true), enough people use Linux systems that it is impossible and misleading to claim it is not a major platform. As a paying customer that uses primarily Linux systems, I hope they will hurry up and provide equal support for this major platform.
