I finally gave up on Proton all together. The Proton Drive I used (MacOS) was difficult to use, very slow, etc. My subscription was almost up (Unlimited) and I jumped ship to more best-of-breed solutions.

For people that need a very good sync solution, check out Filen (Filen.io). It syncs the local folder that you choose and is very stable, predictable and super fast.

I might have stayed with Proton had it not been for their obvious neglect of creating a Proton Drive Linux solultion. As Davo said, it's just insulting.

Hey, it's time again for my periodic and futile Proton Drive rant!

Five years, four months after someone first submitted this idea we still have no Proton Drive sync client for Linux.

I have about 75 GB of photos and data that I would love to store E2E encrypted in Proton Drive, but as a Linux user I only have a manual, web-based interface with which to attempt this. So I gave it a try. After 24 hours of uploading, letting the system run overnight, I was about 20% finished (with about 12,000 "failed upload" notices), so I gave up. For my use case, there is not yet an acceptable Linux solution here.

If you have a handfull of documents, Linux users may be able to upload them successfully to their Drive account via the web. If you use the Android or iOS app, they'll keep your photos nicely sync'd to the cloud. Yay! But, again, if you use Linux you're decidedly a second-class citizen on the desktop.

Proton says they have assigned their Linux developers to ProtonVPN, due to all the totalitarian maneuvering on the interwebs these days. Fair enough, though perhaps there are more Linux developers in the world who could be hired? Maybe?

At the very least, a number of other companies -- even some based in Switzerland -- have solved the Linux sync issue, so this is kind of inexplicable to me. (BTW, a sync of my data to pCloud -- albeit not E2E encrypted, which is a significant issue to be fair -- takes an hour or so. But pCloud offers a Linux client and has for years.)

I currently have a Duo account with my wife, but when it comes due for renewal I'll be looking at downgrading my Proton involvement. I can't use all their services -- really, Mail and VPN are the only important ones in my workflow. But besides that I am clearly not their target audience. And at this point, I just feel insulted.

I am trying to demicrosoft my computer environment. I successfully moved to Linux Mint, and the only remaining thing is Onedrive. In Linux Mint, there is a workaround to boot up Onedrive, but there is no easy and userfriendly way to boot up ProtonDrive. I know that eventually someone will make this happen with a community developed app, but given that Proton is trying to lead the way and keep cloud computing in Europe and keep it local etc, its time they provide native support for Linux environments.

There are no more excuses to begin truly supporting users who are trying to transition away from the microsoft stronghold.

I really would like to have a native Proton Drive for Linux. It's actually the only thing that is holding me up from switching completely to Linux....

Please prioritize it! I have been waiting for a year now!

I think it is unbelievable that they spend money on creating a crypto wallet (total waste of money) and an AI (which is still rather new, so I can forgive them that it isn't actually useful yet), but can't pay anyone to make a Proton Drive Linux Cllient.

Paid subscriber, Made the move away from google and microsoft, totally surprised there's no linux client for proton drive, would hope it's a top priority considering the exodus. VPN is compatible :)
So odd considering Linux seems to be the OS of choice for the security/data sovereignty conscious, would have though all the app were linux first :P
Moving family towards linux mint, having a fully compatible cloud provider would be ideal.

I love Proton and and use a lot of their services as a good privacy alternative Microsoft, Google, etc. As a lot of other Proton users, I use linux. Therefore, we need an official client to proton drive on linux.

I recently migrated to Linux for multiple reasons, and the Proton services could allow me to leave Microsoft and Google services... if I could replace Onedrive with Proton Drive.

Just adding my 2 cents. I've been a Proton customer for years. I made the move to linux about a year ago. Having a linux client for Proton Drive is very important to me.

The lack of Proton Drive client for Linux a complete shame, in particular after so many years... What is the point of Proton products if it has to run on Windows or Mac OSX???

I really do not understand how it is possible that Proton does not give the top priority to that critically missing product rather than promoting other less needed features every weeks... And frustration from its Linux users is growing...

I have been with Proton going on my 3rd year, and from day 1 I have been looking for the sync app for Linux, still nothing?? It has been long enough, please at least get us a beta. i don't care if it crashes some times or is slow, we need something!

I'm starting to feel pretty stupid having believed that a native linux client was in the offing when I signed up. Alas, I will not be renewing my Proton account if this is not sorted before my renewal date. It is unbelievable that this core issue has not been more of a priority before "vanity" products like AI and Albums.

This is blocking my switch to Linux to the point where I think I might just have to migrate to another cloud service provider.

Linux is probably the particular OS privacy-oriented users go for, although being fewer users overall than other OSs.

Being forced to use Windows because there is no Linux Client for Proton Drive is crazy.

I tried Linux Mint and Linux Zorin and they work really well and are easy to use coming from Windows.

I think a lot of people would be glad to switch to Linux if they had a Proton Drive client for this OS

Just piling on here. Linux support and I will buy more space from you. Otherwise, meh.

We are a fully linux house hold. I have to use a file mover to a windows VM in order to sync all of our data. A linux client would be a life saver here.

This is a joke to both block open source solutions to this problem and not provide native client.

Actually I pay drive for nothing because Linux isn't supported...

I'm a proton fan and pay for the visionnary plan for years. I'm using MacOS and move recently to Zorin Pro (linux) on my former work laptop. I can't believe there is no proton drive for Linux nor any other ways (rclone, webdav, api) to get this CRITICAL capability.
