Drive Linux
Please please release a linux sync client. I am a paying user and this entire feature is almost completely unusable for me. Please remind yourself where you come from and release also features for the community that supports you from the early proton times!

I recenty switched alle my computers to Linux and I love it. One shortcoming though, Proton Drive does not seem to be supported officially. I really miss the drive on Linux so please consider making my files safe again 8^).

Good idea. Please make a Proton Drive Qt-based client for Linux. I don't like Google products, so I would like to use Proton Drive on Linux too.

I am holding my full migration to Linux because I have all my data on Proton Drive and use automations to process synched data. The web access simply does not cut it. Please, Proton, please. I finally want to pull the chord on US big tech.
By the way: as long as I am on Windows, I have no reason to abandon my Office Home And Student licenses. If I was on Linux, I would probably switch to Proton Docs. On Windows, Proton Docs competes against Microsoft Office. On Linux, it competes against LibreOffice with its stone age GUI. Please, please, please, give us a complete Proton experience on Linux.

I added this idea in my own wall of idea. but here is my idea. and more ideal way to better support the Proton Drive.
With the protonmail bridge - aka ProtonDrive Bridge, would it make sense to connect to our Proton Drive. I see it as a way to bridge into our Proton Drive to easily access our files from our favorite file explorer rather using the web browser.
____Also it would be easier for us to choose our favorite linux file explorer for us to easily connect to our personal proton drive, with our favorite linux file explorer its just adding the remote protocols and using protons recommended secure e2e encryption like adding the imap/smtp protocols to our favorite email client from the protonmail bridge. so it would be the same Princible that applies as adding sftp, ssh, webdev. protocols. so i see no problems with that! what you guys think about that idea?

It looks like this is finally coming (https://itsfoss.com/news/proton-drive-encryption-upgrades/). While this is excellent news, the comms around this have been terrible (at least in this thread - I assume Proton devs read these threads).

In their 2025 Winter Roadmap, they teased us with a Linux release. And when I finally decided to switch, they stopped mentioning about it altogether. Their Facebook's admin doesn't reply to comments mentioning Linux. It's like they're told to be quiet about it.
Imagine being a paying customer to a company that avoid addressing their customers, as soon as my subscription ends, I'll switch to Tuta and Mega. What a disappointment!

Having this is fundamental for me to start paying for Drive and quit OneDrive, but I can't do it until you have a Linux client.

Please, when we want to not depend on Big Tech America we need this Linux functionality

Could you please implement this ASAP? And not only rsync, but all ways to use Proton drive from Linux CLI.
And if you are working on it, please let us know. Keep your (paying) customers uptodate with what's happening.

When will the Proton Drive Linux desktop application be released? We pay the same fee as macOS and Windows users, but we don't have the right to use it. This is discrimination.

I would appreciate having it on my Linux device. Otherwise, I'll have to use another cloud service

Greater cross compatibility between Proton Suite and Linux is the only thing stopping me from a total de-googlification.

I have a full subscription but If Tuta Drive comes first, I will switch.

(this topic is 2.5 year old already!)
For me, a native application would offer:
Better integration with the Linux file system (e.g., seamless syncing, offline access).
Improved performance and resource management compared to browser-based solutions.
Alignment with Proton's strong presence in the open-source and Linux community. Many privacy-conscious users rely on Linux as their primary OS, and a native client would make Proton Drive a viable competitor to other cloud storage solutions in this ecosystem. -

Linux+Proton is a good way to get rid of both Microsoft and Google, mainly for privacy and data security purpose.
I'm trying to migrate my whole company under Proton, but the absence of ProtonDrive CLI for Ubuntu makes everything pretty difficult.
I'm not the only one expecting Linux CLI. Can we at least have a date? 5 weeks or 5 years?
