At this point I have been paying for my proton account for years and expecting that they will get a drive app on linux soon but it have been over half a decade and nothing... I should probably move to Tuta at this point will be faster for them to built a linux app.

I too with Joe F highlight this phrase which I remember had an impact on the choice of Proton now more than 2 years ago.

"A team of scientists who met at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) decided to build a better internet where privacy is the default" Windows and MacOS do not have privacy as part of their mission statements, Linux is the preferred platform for those that care about privacy.

Anch'io con Joe F sottolineo questa frase che ricordo abbia avuto un impatto sulla scelta di Proton ormai più di 2 anni fa.

"Un team di scienziati riuniti al CERN (l'Organizzazione europea per la ricerca nucleare) ha deciso di costruire un Internet migliore in cui la privacy sia l'impostazione predefinita" Windows e MacOS non hanno la privacy come parte delle loro dichiarazioni di missione, Linux è la piattaforma preferita per coloro che hanno a cuore la privacy.

"A team of scientists who met at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) decided to build a better internet where privacy is the default" Windows and MacOS do not have privacy as part of their mission statements, Linux is the preferred platform for those that care about privacy.

Not having a linux based application is ridiculous.

I find it humorous that the Spring/Summer ‘26 roadmap announcement included this attempt at a sentence tacked on at the end of the Proton Drive section: “We’ll also working on the highly anticipated Linux app.”

Once again, Proton Drive on Linux is only a footnote to all the other exciting development.

Not sure how else to put this. Please, please PLEASE release Proton Drive client for Linux! I want to switch ASAP away from Google Drive and start (using paid for) Proton Drive, but I recently switched all PCs and laptops in our house to Linux (Mint) and really need that Linux client. Proton Unlimited is my choice but I and so many other people NEED LINUX SUPPORT!!

We really need this - it is ridiculous that we don't have a version of Proton app on the actual privacy focused OS yet

Rsync is very problematic in its implementation, and the "Chrome Install" is basically the Web version still. So maybe create an official Flatpak Linux Client, if having distro-specific ones are costly to maintain?

Same here. I moved all my data away form Microsoft and would like use Linux Mint instead for Windows. The missing Proton Client for Linux is realy frustrating.

I will definitely use Drive when this feature is available.

Trying to move away from windows and frustrated that a linux sync client is still missing and even the trial version is removed. Linux mint in my case

This is Critical, Proton. People moving away from Big Tech towards FOSS need all the help they can get! I put you in the FOSS camp, but not so sure anymore. Release a Proton Drive client for Linux, please.

I could sware there was a top topic about linux drive integration here a month ago. Not sure where did it go? Anyways, I am now waiting for a year and a half on my free acount until linux gets some proper attention, meanwhile I am paying to filen.io ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What happened to the request with 6000 + votes? This lack of transparency is not doing you good Proton!

Hope you can release it soon. I would like to retire my Nextcloud instance and this is the only roadblock.

I recently moved from Windows to Linux and I am frustrated there is still no Proton Drive client for Linux after many years. Hopefully soon this will finally be available to the Linux community. With more users moving from Windows to Linux I think getting Proton Drive for Linux should be given more priority.

Dear Proton team. I joined Proton over a year ago with a payed Duo account. My wife is on a Mac where a sync app exists but despite all the announcements over the past year there is still nothing for Linux. There wasn't even the mention of it in the last Proton updates couple of days ago. It's quite disappointing and not very "cool" as someone stated earlier for a company that promotes privacy and opensource.... . Please give us an update where things stand as of today.

That the apps are only partially available for Linux feels like a misunderstanding of Protons customer base.. One of the main appeals for choosing Proton was the aspect of data security and independence from US tech companies. For that reason I also recently converted my laptop to Linux only to find out that I cannot sync my data in the Proton Drive anymore. It really makes me consider switching to a different provider. I really love Protons features but what is the point if they do not work for me?

I was surprised to find out that, not only is there no Linux client for Proton Drive, but there is an active discouragement by Proton to try and use other methods to incorporate Drive into the Linux ecosystem.

I am moving from non-private operating systems (MacOS and Windows 11), a non-private cloud storage solution (OneDrive) and a non-private e-mail account (Gmail) to their private equivalents (Linux, Proton Drive and Proton Mail)... and then I find that that there is no support from Proton to make this transition seamlessly.

There are third party attempts at solutions, such as rclone, but it appears that Proton is actively blocking or hindering their use. Maybe there are good reasons for this to which we are unaware, but then please provide a solution so that we can finally make the jump.

Proton prides itself on providing a platform for privacy, but the current platform is broken. We need a fix.

I'm very close to build a network of NAS across my relatives to skirt the absence of this app. I was genuinely excited about switching from windows and google to proton and seeing the inexisting support for proton drive on linux is super disheartening.

Proton Drive definitely needs a Linux App. I switched to Proton-mail and the Proton Suite away from Microsoft 365 and Windows as a whole, and for a privacy-focused app, it is a shame that I can't use a privacy focused OS like Linux with Proton Drive integrated. I would even take a properly-supported rclone instance, which right now is not community maintained and does not sync files properly. I just want to be able to access my Proton Drive files from Linux without going through the web app and dealing with how difficult that can be when syncing my Documents and Pictures.
