Ciao a tutti, I join the call to implement in Linux not only Proton Drive synchronization but all Drive applications should be fully compatible with Linux systems especially for users who have nothing to do with Windows OS, Mac and Google Android anymore

... and guys commenting and voting here:

Don't forget to support the idea of a Native Linux Proton Drive client here as well:

That thread has been going on since June 2022 and have a lot more votes already!

We are on a family subscription where 3 out of 4 members are on Linux ... I had to make a bulky solution to make it work for us:

All Linux hosts we use constantly keeps parts of their filesystems in sync with a Linux server using Unison. That Linux server hosts a virtual Windows 10 instance that the server
syncs those files to via an NTFS filesystem (having the btrfs side preferred to keep symlinks and file permissions in sync between the Linux hosts). The Windows VM runs ProtonDrive to keep it sync with the cloud.

This forces me to use double file space on the Linux server to host the same files that are also available on the Linux clients (some clients sync all the 3 TBs) and in Proton Drive.

That's the extent I went to get it working instead of simply having all Linux hosts sync directly with a Native Proton Drive client ... if only it where available.

I don't mind a headless (command-line only) client and with restrictions on symlinks and file permissions not being properly synced ... all that is fine and what I'm used to syncing to Google Drive with inSync.

If you lack Linux competence to implement a native client, please collaborate with inSync and help them integrate Proton Drive into their product. They know the Linux side of things well enough to provide a decent client.

This is critical to any proton drive user.
I cannot understand how nothing has been released when it has been asked for for so long... Especially considering how the proton team is actively blocking 3rd party softwares like RClone... (sources: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7864)

To me, it's the single biggest trouble with using the otherwise amazing cloud suite from Proton.

Definitively thumbs up, but please either do also .rpm or if complicated to manage then flatpak

It would be super useful, I’d like to stop using the cloud with the Mega app and use only Proton!!!

Proton Drive for Linux would be great. I would get Premium for that too.

Yes

It's a must have!

It would be great to see Proton Drive for Linux!!!

Vote there too, is the one with most visibility!

BTW Proton team: any updates?

Regarding the mission is privacy the lack of linux clients is disturbing

Just switched to Linux, because I'm trying to get away from Microsoft and Google. Please add Linux support. I need to sync my documents up with my remaining Windows PCs.

with Microsoft and google spying more and more we need to have the same functionality in linux. Please dedicate the same time to linux as windows.

Could accelerate the drive updating + allow computing on driver element

Don't leave linux users out in the cold!

I thought I could finally cancel my Dropbox but not being able to do this in Ubuntu is making me rethink transferring. Anybody who considers digital privacy as important will move to Linux at some point, if they haven't already.

While migrating from dropbox realized that this feature is missing. At least would need an app to sync files in linux. Will mantain files that need sync in dropbox until this feature is available.

absolutely critical for people transitioning away from google and apple cloud infrastructures. the lack of even a mention on the road map, let alone any update in over a year is another huge blow to confidence in being able to complete a transfer.

I just saw that rclone has beta-support for Pronton Drive :-) ...

might be possibly to do something nifty in combination with unison :-)
