Drive Linux
Please please release a linux sync client. I am a paying user and this entire feature is almost completely unusable for me. Please remind yourself where you come from and release also features for the community that supports you from the early proton times!

This is definitely a needed feature.
Yeah I can set this up manually, but even a ****** service as Dropbox has this. A Linux sync client is a must have.

Still waiting for this to happen. Proton & Linux should be the ideal pairing and it's never been more relevant than now.
Latest roadmap: https://proton.me/blog/2026-spring-summer-roadmaps gives me hope! Fingers crossed for this year.

I have Nobara GNOME and while it's built off Fedora and most Fedora commands work with it, the existing Linux protocol for Drive and VPN don't. I have Vivaldi as a browser so it has Proton VPN and Pass integrated, but not having Drive on my laptop is rough.

How many years has it been without this Moderator? Maybe we won’t be double posting if you actually listen to your users needs.
You are leaving money on the table with this app and the lack of this feature.
This is absolutely ridiculous.

i noticed the proton CLI doesn't maintain modified-dates of files at all - a fresh download shows modified dates of files as the time they were downloaded, rather than the time embedded in the file's metadata. I'm concerned about this /:
that being said, it's really promising so far! I'm just not willing to use it because this issue is important to me

I recenty switched alle my computers to Linux and I love it. One shortcoming though, Proton Drive does not seem to be supported officially. I really miss the drive on Linux so please consider making my files safe again 8^).

Good idea. Please make a Proton Drive Qt-based client for Linux. I don't like Google products, so I would like to use Proton Drive on Linux too.

I am holding my full migration to Linux because I have all my data on Proton Drive and use automations to process synched data. The web access simply does not cut it. Please, Proton, please. I finally want to pull the chord on US big tech.
By the way: as long as I am on Windows, I have no reason to abandon my Office Home And Student licenses. If I was on Linux, I would probably switch to Proton Docs. On Windows, Proton Docs competes against Microsoft Office. On Linux, it competes against LibreOffice with its stone age GUI. Please, please, please, give us a complete Proton experience on Linux.

I added this idea in my own wall of idea. but here is my idea. and more ideal way to better support the Proton Drive.
With the protonmail bridge - aka ProtonDrive Bridge, would it make sense to connect to our Proton Drive. I see it as a way to bridge into our Proton Drive to easily access our files from our favorite file explorer rather using the web browser.
____Also it would be easier for us to choose our favorite linux file explorer for us to easily connect to our personal proton drive, with our favorite linux file explorer its just adding the remote protocols and using protons recommended secure e2e encryption like adding the imap/smtp protocols to our favorite email client from the protonmail bridge. so it would be the same Princible that applies as adding sftp, ssh, webdev. protocols. so i see no problems with that! what you guys think about that idea?

It looks like this is finally coming (https://itsfoss.com/news/proton-drive-encryption-upgrades/). While this is excellent news, the comms around this have been terrible (at least in this thread - I assume Proton devs read these threads).

In their 2025 Winter Roadmap, they teased us with a Linux release. And when I finally decided to switch, they stopped mentioning about it altogether. Their Facebook's admin doesn't reply to comments mentioning Linux. It's like they're told to be quiet about it.
Imagine being a paying customer to a company that avoid addressing their customers, as soon as my subscription ends, I'll switch to Tuta and Mega. What a disappointment!

Having this is fundamental for me to start paying for Drive and quit OneDrive, but I can't do it until you have a Linux client.

Could you please implement this ASAP? And not only rsync, but all ways to use Proton drive from Linux CLI.
And if you are working on it, please let us know. Keep your (paying) customers uptodate with what's happening.
