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.

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

It is ridiculous that we don't have a proton client for linux yet. I should be able to use the cloud backup I pay for on a system that is actually privacy focused when your company claims to focus on privacy

I was hoping to keep a local backup of my proton drive using rclone, but that has been depreciated. Do I have to find another solution?

Shame on you Proton Team!!! Still no linux client!!
Where is that request with a lot of votes?!

What the ****? "This idea is awaiting moderator approval"

They just buried the Linux Drive implementation request with almost 6.000 votes. Instead of acknowledging it and interacting with their user base. Such scummy behavior.

I am thinking about switching to another provider unless this happens soon. It's really hard to use proton drive without being able to mount it on Linux desktop.

Unbelievable for a company proclaiming "privacy by default" this has not yet been realised, even tough other/newer products have been launched!

Proton Drive on Linux umis the biggest feature I currently miss

Same here. If Linux is not supported this year, I will leave. It does not take that much resources to make this happen and Linux is now 5% of all pcs and growing. If Proton wants growth they should make this happen now or never.

And also it would be good to have a Proton Drive app for Linux

It's also critical to me. I'm looking forward to ditch google and windows and the last piece of software that I need on Linux is ProtonDrive.

Linux support is absolutely essential for us to make this offer usable in our private and work environments. I am very much hoping for the SDK and stable products built on it.

Completely agree and this is now critical given the way Microslop is going and more people are leaving Windows.
I now only use a Windows machine to use Adobe apps so good proton Linux support is CRITICAL.

Completely agree. Synchronizing with the web app of Proton Drive for instance is not possible in the Linux environment.

Affirming this. How does it makes sense that Proton is marketing privacy to pull away from MS and Apple with many of those people trying to migrate to Linux. What then is there to do when you migrate everything to proton and solutions don't exist for what is a reasonable next step. This feels like wandering in the desert now, but hey, my files are encrypted. Yay!?
