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

Would really love to make use of my proton drive storage, but as a Linux user I'm still unable to, except through the web browser. Which isn't really a solution except for trivial uploads. Being able to do rsync backups or mount the filesystem or similar would be fantastic.

Yup. Would be great to have that working on Linux. Would love to be able to sync my photos.

The Linux VPN client was a great step. Hopefully we get some news about this soon. Obviously the most dedicated privacy advocates are on Linux!

I'd like to see linux desktop apps for all your products!

I'd the same functionality as in MacOs, where the drive integrates in Finder. In the linux case, nautilus

This is my mission-critical backup method, and it is preventing me from ditching Windows. I have a family plan, so this is affecting multiple computers on my account.

I stepped over to Linux.
There is a web based mail client but I don't like that one very much.
There is no Sync Drive for Linux. I cannot step over to Proton Drive. -

A desktop client for Linux would be AWESOME! I would definitely upgrade my subscription and make more extensive use of Proton's offerings if they did this.

I'd really love to use Proton Drive, I'd even upgrade my plan from Plus to Unlimited for more storage if could, but without Linux syncing it's practically useless to me!

They absolutely do not care about us Linux users. There are cloud storage services which are operating at a tiny fraction of the size and budget of Proton yet they have a functioning Linux client with directory sync. I'm just ******* away money on a useless Unlimited plan just so they can release more half-finished products no one asks for. I'm tired of reading "It's on the roadmap" because I know that is a blatant lie to keep people from leaving. "A better internet starts with privacy and freedom", except for Linux users, the guys who give a **** about privacy the most. That awful response from the CEO during the AMA cemented my belief that they have no intention whatsoever of developing a Linux client. Best take your money elsewhere, folks.

Proton Drive needs a Linux client with automatic file sync. Many of us rely on Linux as our primary OS, and this feature is essential for a seamless workflow. It would help users like me fully switch from other cloud services like Google Drive. Please prioritize this – the Linux community is ready to support Proton even more!

Proton drive client would be a good feature to have on the Linux desktop, even if it just acts as a mounted network share drive.

Yep, it really looks like there are a lot of people that are waiting for this. Since 2022. So, it comes to my mind that there already may be some efforts done. Is there any public Git repo or so with any initial version?

Yes this is an essential piece missing from my Linux workflow. I will not use any third party clients! Do yo thang Proton do yo thanggg

Ubuntu/linux Mint please. Could also integrate with Gnome-based file managers.

Both for normal archiving or to allow acces from external backup Ubuntu apps (let say Déjà Dup)
