MacOS client
Proton Drive really needs the ability to sync desktop files automatically. This post focuses on a Mac OS client for Proton Drive.

Thanks for your feedback and patience, Proton Drive for MacOS is now available!

Thank you. I was waiting for it for a long time... I'll try it right away and will tell you the results. I'm really excited to migrate my files.

Our entire team (18 people) works on Mac. We cannot switch from Google Drive to Proton Drive unless there is a client which automatically uploads local file changes.

I don't personally need this, but my spouse is a Mac user and this stands in the way of effectively sharing our Drive together

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/

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!

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.
