how is this not even a thing - Doesn't have to be to fancy

It's too basic and much needed.

Bridge application emulating WebDAV and/or NFS. WebDAV would be best for providing a newbie-friendly experience as some desktops include native tools for mounting a WebDAV directory, and standalone utilities exist for doing so.

Without this, ProtonDrive is useless to me as I find it easier to insert a flash drive or else PGP-encrypt files on Dropbox.

Integration that works with Gnome/KDE. The best scenario would be to sign in using the "internet accounts" tool and then simply integrate the address book, calendar, todo and calendar. Why not?

Linux user here, waiting for a desktop client in order to make the switch.
In the meantime, happily using Mega.io

Waiting for this to happend, I stick with kdrive offrering from Infomaniak

Command line utility would do. This is the only thing stopping me from getting a family account.

Mac and Windows user ... this feature is badly missing ... switched from Google Drive and it has been a lot of trouble to edit files. Please resolve!

I would really like to drop my own Nextcloud server and switch to Proton drive. I can't believe there is no Desktop client for Linux. I would be happy with a command line utility but, come on - really?

Yes completely agree this part of the service is unusable to me without a sync client.

A client for Linux and MacOS would be great. Or allow users to mount the drive in their file manager. I think most people would agree that having to upload and download everything over the web is not a good experience.

It's awesome that I have 6TB of storage available, but it's a waste without this.

The lack of a Linux desktop client is keeping me from switching to Proton Drive for my cloud storage.

We need a linux sync client in order to leave service like Tresorit.

This should be a pretty obvious base feature of a cloud storage service. I have a little file server at home and a laptop, and my parents have a similar setup. For now we're using Dropbox for this, as it provides filesystem integration, but I would move us all to Proton Drive immediately if this were available.

Very important feature for a cloud file service. Should be implemented in a way so that apps like rclone can make full use of it, if the nature of Proton Drive allows for that. But a dedicated sync app in the tray is top priority.

essential feature that we need.

As others have stated, if Proton Drive had all the same features as Dropbox, I'd switch right away: all Unix/Linux commands working seamlessly, auto photo upload, selective sync, option to have hard copies of given files/directories on a phone, etc... And, if Proton could improve status and error reporting, even better!

Or, way better (at least for me) would be an option to mount it (but not actually sync to local disk, just get files on-demand), like gdfuse for Google Drive
