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

This would be fantastic!

One possible first step should be to develop an API so people can work on FUSE driver. This should be easier than a full featured client but would be sufficient to start using Drive on multiple systems.

I'm currently evaluating proton for my company which is only using linux since we are very privacy focused. The lack of linux support hinders me for now to commit to proton.

I have been a Proton member for many years. Linux' support for privacy dramatically exceeds M$. A Linux client is an absolute necessity in my mind.
Thanks Proton. -

Critical here. I'm considering moving providers until there's a Linux client for drive and caldav support. Long-time supporter here. Please consider!

Primary machine is GNU/Linux to fully leverage need a way to sync with Proton drive, either with a GUI or a CLI implementation

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. -

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.
