... 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.

I am interested in the UNLIMITED plan. But I can't subscribe to it if you don't develop the client for Linux, my only operating system !

I'm also paying for Proton Drive and was hoping for an option with Proton Drive for the desktop. The same way as it is with Proton Mail desktop for Linux. It's absolutely needed for many clients.

I am currently running Linux as a main system, still have windows hanging around for some things, for one a proper proton drive client. Please make a proton drive client for Linux.

I am switching to Linux very very soon and looking at program compatibilities. Yes, it appears one can use rclone, but it also appears that that solution can stop working at any moment. For using this as a private and secure cloud, it needs to be fully supported on all distros of Linux. Until this happens, I would say Proton is not serious about privacy nor security. Sorry, but AFAIK Linux is difficult with Gaming, Design, and now apparently Proton. How strange and ironic.

sftp access will be great. I think that Linux community will do the rest.

I would love a desktop client for Linux. Something that I would like more is to be able to FTP into it. Either works for me.

I have been using GNU/Linux for more than 20 years and Proton services for at least 10 years. I love it, but I really do not understand what Proton is waiting for to deliver a Proton Drive Linux client... Even for Google Drive we could find one.
This should be a top priority for Proton: Linux users are sensible to security and privacy, which is the core business of Proton. And Proton Drive without a desktop client is basically useless.

We are a paying business customers, and We have migrated from Gmail, and it's obvious that we deserve some way to synchronize Proton Drive with our Linux machines.

Good afternoon, I am a user and I have not been able to connect with my proton address (???).
GNU/Linux users also deserve a file/folder synchronization program.
It has been many years of waiting. But as soon as possible.
Thanks -

I recently became a paying Proton customer mainly for privacy reasons - I've just migrated from Gmail & OneDrive. Next on my privacy list is moving fully to Linux, because privacy just isn't possible on Windows any more.
My 2x PC's are already runnning Fedora & Mint. That just leaves my laptop which will be done soon. The web products are OK, but it would be far better to have a native client. -

For people like me, using Linux, beeing able to synchonize some folder on Linux and Proton Drive would be very useful.

I've been using Proton for several years with a paid subscription. Unfortunately I don't trust my data with Windows and Apple, so I use Linux to protect myself! It's a big mistake because users like me pay for features that don't exist for Linux! I therefore benefit from useless gigabytes, because a drive without applications and synchronisation is perfectly useless, except for pasting files on it for backup purposes only.
I'm using Owncloud with another host, which is very good for synchronisation but not encrypted, but I'm actually paying for two solutions when I could be putting everything on Proton.
I don't know how many years we'll have to wait, but I think that the Proton community using Linux should come forward, otherwise we'll be left out in the cold for a while yet.
Sincerely Bruno -

A desktop client for Linux is sorely needed, I use Proton mail and Proton pass, but I used Proton Drive for a while and then I stopped using it, due to the lack of a desktop client for Linux and I switched to Dropbox for the ease of the desktop client, I hope the Proton people make one soon so I can stop using Dropbox.

Still unbelievable that the linux client is missing for years ...
