Adding my support to this... I've been waiting patiently for an Ubuntu drive app, but so far nothing. I don't want to have to continue with my current workaround solution using rclone.

Perhaps a status update on this from the folks at Proton would be helpful! Proton peeps????????

The lack of a native Linux client for Proton Drive is preventing me from moving my entire family from Microsoft 365 to the Proton ecosystem. Frankly, I find this incomprehensible.

Linux is built around privacy, freedom, transparency, and independence — the very principles Proton claims to champion.

Across Europe, governments, businesses, and individuals are increasingly embracing Linux and open-source solutions to reduce dependence on Big Tech and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Yet Proton excludes Linux users from a critical component of its productivity suite. Browser access is simply no substitute for proper desktop integration and file synchronization.

The irony is striking: Proton promotes digital independence while effectively pushing Linux users back into the ecosystems they're trying to escape.

Without a Linux Drive client, Proton disqualifies itself as a complete Microsoft 365 alternative for Linux users.

Supporting Linux shouldn't be an afterthought on Proton's roadmap. It should be a strategic priority.

When will it be available?

Will it be possible to connect the account to Ubuntu that it is just integrated into the system?

I exclusively use Linux (Ubuntu 24.04). Searching for files via a web browser is not efficient, so I need to manage them locally; however, I cannot do so because there is no synchronization system to keep them updated. Please look for solution!

CLI is not funtional at all. Missing support for symlinks. Non selective sync upload.

its such a no brainer, Proton is about privacy and Linux too, mindboggling that this isn't the OS the gets the most love, if it's really about privacy and not just money

CLI isn't really what we thought about...

This is urgently needed. It has been promised for this year. Today I received an email again promoting the CLI. That is not what I am waiting for.

I just want to say that I highly agrees with this. And it's an important feature that it will integrates with the file manager. -It's obviously possible since both pCloud, KDrive and IceDrive has this feature already.

I too would love to see a Linux version of Proton Drive that integrates with the file manager (Nemo in my case, but that is a fork of Nautilus). Dropbox has one and I believe it's open source, so I don't imagine it would be technically difficult to create (https://github.com/dropbox/nautilus-dropbox).

Thanks.

Please make a linux version that is functional, the CLI is a bad joke.
We are paying for this. You are the last reason, that i didn't switch complitly to Linux (fedora). So get your **** togetter and make a Linux client.

I would love to see a native app of Proton on Linux.

please start implementing this...
you can tell from the upvotes that this is very important

guys what the ****! I just paid for 2 years duo in bitcoin to support your mission.. only to find out you didnt support linux properly? Shame

absolutely a requirement, this is kneecapping the usefulness of proton to me

I use the ProtonDrive CLI for Linux for a while, and still the CLI is missing some critical function like bidirectional sync (like override new files, delete files in folder if the non-existed in local)

The current functions just limited only download/upload.

Before, I used `rclone` with those function, but they were shutdown by ProtonAPI and I need to manually upload new file, open the ProtonDrive web and remove unused file by hand.

And that is still insufficient for me, even with paid plan.

I exclusively use Linux (Ubuntu). Searching for files via a web browser is inefficient, so I need to manage them locally; however, I cannot do so because there is no synchronization system to keep them updated.

I am not using Linux, and I still believe it's a critical must have. I am super surprised it only exist as a CLI.

This is a must. It is surprising that it still doesn't exist.

Dear Proton Team,

Current status: I have 4 Proton-secured devices ✨
Happy devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows
Exiled device: My beloved Linux 🐧

Current situation: I'm manually duplicating files between machines like it's 1995. My drives are sweating, my sync time is on fire, and my IT efficiency conscience is depressed.

The obvious solution: A native Proton Drive client for Linux.

If you can do cryptographic magic for Gmail and WhatsApp, you can give Linux a dignified home too!

Thanks,
A user who wants to stop doing manual copy-paste like a digital troglodyte
