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

Given the ongoing upsurge in Linux adoption (following the W10 EOL, & recent Steam improvements making gaming on Linux more viable), Proton is missing a highly significant opportunity by not having a Linux desktop app & folder syncing. When Windows users migrate to Linux they will be immediately looking for an app to replace One Drive, and since Proton has no comparable offering available to those users they will look elsewhere, and in doing so will be exposed to other vendors ecosystems. In addition, other companies are certainly noting this situation, and are preparing products to provide this critical service to the rapidly growing new market. Not only are you ill serving your existing user base, but are are incentivising existing competitors and creating entirely new competitors. This is shamefully shortsighted.

This should be a highly prioritized. Smooth proton-drive for linux would be awesome. Browser-only access is a dealbreaker for daily use. Using Cryptomator +
other providers until this exists. -

I'm struggling to backup my folders to Proton Drive. I would love a linux client or even support for online accounts in Linux a la Google Drive.

For me, this is one of the main reasons I'm still on Windows for my work. Please give us a Proton Drive client for Linux!

I would like to synch files automatically as you can with Windows. this is a big obstacle to moving to Linux. Workarounds are a PITA

Proton could be like a non-invasive one drive option for Linux but instead you don't even support it, not cool.

Proton first slogan is security, but only proprietary OSs are supported. Are you serious, guys?
How much longer are you going to ignore the most popular topic?
I'm considering leaving Google Workspace, but this fundamental shortcoming has been holding me back for years. I'm starting to despair.

Yeah this is a big issue for me. I recently switched entirely to linux, and I would like to ditch dropbox, and exclusively use proton. so i upgraded to the 2Tb Duo plan. but so far the workarounds aren't syncing properly. so idk.. i'll keep trying but if i can't get it to work i'll have to go back to dropbox

Linux client is very important to be available in a product like Proton where the many of the users use this OS as default
