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

Glad to see the consistent support for this feature request.

I like using Proton, but this is what keeps me from upgrading my account. Why is it Nextcloud can pull this off but not Proton?

This is is the single most important feature I am looking for that is getting in the way of me fully adopting open source in my personal life.
Why?
Because I am the director of a company that has to use a Windows PC in the office, but I use Linux at home. Sync of documents between these platforms will allow me to work from home without having to fire up my Windows laptop.

Upcoming Windows updates are increasingly pushing AI to do shady or dubious things where we don't really know what it's doing and what data it's collecting.
For example, in the upcoming 24H2 update, the AI's “Recall” feature becomes a Windows Explorer dependency, making it increasingly difficult for users to completely remove any AI functionality they don't want...
Today, more than ever, I really want to permanently switch to Linux but I can't because:
- 1st Proton Drive is still not available
- 2nd ProtonVPN is really in a bad shape on LinuxPlease Proton Team we need these on Linux asap.

I just saw that rclone has beta-support for Pronton Drive :-) ...
https://rclone.org/protondrive/
might be possibly to do something nifty in combination with unison :-)

I'm having 3 domains and 2TB of Drive space with Google today and I use it, among other things, to keep a number of file systems on different hosts in sync at all times. Most importantly to me is to keep the linux hosts in sync. I use inSync (3rd party app) to accomplish this but t does unfortunately not yet support Proton. One idea might be to work with inSync to help them integrate Proton Drive?!?
If it was possible to sync Proton Drive with Linux I would switch from Google to Proton in a blink. I would very much prefer a head-less (non-GUI) app and am happy to help with development and/or be a beta-tester of such apps to help speed up the development.
A linux app for Proton Drive is essential for me to take the step to sign up for a 24 month Proton Family subscription and start the process of switching over everything from Google ....

We need an E2EE drive that matches Google Drive or Nextcloud sync functionality!

Years are passing. And the idea of a Linux client for Drive isn't at least tagged. Not even "studying". It looks like it's a lost cause.
3K votes and 2 years and a half later : Pass, Docs, and Wallet are born. Dark Web Monitoring has come. Simple Login and Standard Notes have been acquired, Mail and Pass have even got their own Linux clients. And Drive's one hasn't gained any interest from devs. I read some months ago they did not have Linux devs enough, but they could at least tell us this wish is fair and Will maybe Come in a while...but no. Not a single word.
No. I think it's a lost cause.

Please make this the next priority; I appreciate the efforts you have made so far to make Proton a privacy and security focused email, calendaring, and cloud storage service, but integrating Proton Drive with the Linux desktop would finally allow me to fully ditch Google, MS, and Dropbox. People are indeed willing to pay for privacy and security.

Having a Linux should be a must. You support mail, pass, and vpn, Drive should be the next one with Linux support.

I'm leaving behind closed OS like Windows and MacOS. Linux is my working system and syncing files is a must for any cloud drive.

I would love to have a linux client or working integration with rsync at the minimum. Would make my life a lot easier.

Please this is extremelly needed.
I assumed this already existed and now that I see it doesn't I'm going to have tu unsuscribe :( -

If you could get this set up with rsync that would be amazing. I could code the rest in bash myself but it would be nice to have a .deb installation file

It's really needed. Please think of the Linux community.

I really want a Linux client for Proton Drive! This is what i currently want the most from the Proton suite. And please prioritize making a client that works for not just Debian/Ubuntu based distros but also Arch and Fedora/RHEL distros. It would cover many Linux users.
Written on EndeavourOS which is Arch based :)
-
Liquid commented
This should also be made available for Fedora/RHEL based distros as well as Arch based distros as those would cover a lot of people. Currently using an Arch based distro called EndeavourOS :)

This is the main thing keeping me from switching over. I'm really surprised they don't have a Linux client since there is a huge overlap between Linux users and people who care about privacy and are willing to pay for a secure option. Please add this!
