We've been patiently waiting for this. Without it, Drive is worthless for business use and we now need to reconsider our Proton Business subscription.

Indeed the Client is a "must" feature is very annoying to have to download and the upload .. creates a lot of overhead for nothing.

Can you please share your intentions?

Thank you a loving user ...

I've been using ProtonDrive for more than a year now. Why doesn't it have the most basic feature a drive should have: a MACBOOK CLIENT?

When this and iOS automatic photo sync is rolled out, I'll very likely switch from my current cloud drive solution to Proton Drive 🙏

Google Drive, part of Google Workspace, is a secure place to back up and access all your files from any device. You can download the application at https://apkhihe.com/

Desktop app for Linux please!!

I thought this would have been launched already. I work mostly in Mac OS. I do like the Windows client, but I really need a Mac client. I absolutely hate using the web client on Mac. It's not efficient, and I need specific folders backed up automatically. Please Proton! We need it!

Echoing all the comments on this thread. We need a Mac OS app to sync files to Proton Drive. I'm paying the same price as my monthly Netflix subscription yet I have to manually back up my files which exposes me to risk of data loss. Hopefully this is in process. Otherwise you guys are doing great work. Thank you!

Yes, we definitely need Proton Drive Mac client ASAP!

Hey Proton, thanks for all your hard work, keep it up guys!

I've committed to the Ultimate plan knowing there will be some gaps. OSX app is one them (and I know it's coming soon and you're hard at work on it).

I just wanted to mention a few features that I was using with Sync.com that were incredibly handy.

- Be able to selectively choose what folders on Proton Drive are monitored/synced. This setting would cause only the selected folders to be downloaded to my device, not all folders I have in Proton Drive. Very helpful if I have limited space on the device or I only need to sync a subset of files/folders.

- Be able to see progress of sync activity. It is handy to know what files or changes are queued for synching. Perhaps this could be facilitated as well using icons next to the file much like Dropbox?

Don't forget a Linux client. Lots of privacy (and security!) conscious people use Linux, so the amount of people running Linux that also use Proton services might be higher than average.

If the online version of Proton Drive on Safari already had a document search bar, we could wait a few more months for a desktop version. Firefox does have a search bar. Why doesn't Safari have it? And the helpdesk that doesn't respond to this simple request. Frankly, it's a shame on Proton's side, because this search bar is a basic requirement for a cloud service.

EVERY document cloud has got an application to link and save its documents to / from desktop (Google, Dropbox, Nextcloud, ...). It's not useless without it, but rather unpractical : you must download / upload all the documents manually. Nonetheless, why do you only release an app for windows ? Totally agree with Damian's and Cerilium's comments.

I really need proton Drive client on my Mac. You send me and invitation for windows and its not useful to me.

This is super important to have this ability.

Hello friend,

I've been using Proton services for almost a year now with little to no complaints and I'm sitting here in disbelief that there still isn't a way to integrate Proton Drive to connect and backup Mac folders easily.

I wish to exclusively use Proton for my startup, and here are some ideas I had throughout last year.

Before I begin, I want to add that I HATE Google Drive and Gmail with all its oddly vanilla but at the same time awkward features (Gdrive is a complete mess when working with large groups of people and files, it also lacks privacy. And Gmail constantly ruins my life and makes me seem amateurish with its random text changes and autoformats which have no turn-off button).

Now, here are some issues Proton currently has:

- As far as I understand, the files, when trying to upload in bulk, are failing due to different folder names and file formats which proton drive oddly doesn't support. These types of issues are mostly on Mac at the moment.

- There needs to be a Proton app that is downloadable that kind of functions as a much better Mega app. This needs to be working on Windows, Mac & Iphone/Android etc. as well as connected seamlessly through one account regardless of platform.

- Proton Drive needs to easily connect different folders through different computers, this is especially necessary for digital-based businesses. This could be a challenge, but if it worked I don't see why it couldn't charge extra for storage space and seamless integration for large businesses that need the backup space.

Proton has it almost figured out, and I wish I could transfer everything to it completely for the tech needs of our startup.

I believe that the mail and calendar are good enough as they are, but the drive still needs some more work. I just want it to be a secure place where I can upload everything easily. And please make it so that we can name the folders whatever we want.

If Proton could stand for true Privacy + Customization + Digital Freedom, it would be the best in the world.

I've been expecting a Mac OS client for Proton Drive for a while. I need it to move all my documents from hotmail and google for good

I don't have a problem with the interface or needing to go through the web to use it, so long as I can store and share the files I need. But the real problem for me is bandwidth! I can't use Proton Drive to share media files (audio recordings) now because the upload speeds are so slow, I can't seem to get better than 2 or 3Mbps total, even if I do simultaneous uploads. I've tried it with Proton VPN on or off and followed all sorts of fixes and advice, but the speed won't improve. With Google drive I get close to the full bandwidth of my connection (uploads at up to 70 Mbps or so) but not with Proton.
That to me is the one reason I can't use it the way I'd like. If that changes I could stop using Google drive! I don't need the same level of sync as others do with workgroups etc so personally I'm fine not having sync folders or a native app, I don't care how I access it but I need faster transfers. I haven't even tried giving my clients a link to Proton Drive because if the uploads are that slow they're only going to get slow downloads too, I can't do that to them

I believe that this area should be closed so that users can exercise their right to vote.

I don't consider Drive to be anything more than a one-off until we have a way to sync with the desktop on Mac. Currently using Sync.com for this until Proton has it.
