100% backing this idea. It's an inconvenience to upload to Drive through the web browser. As an Unlimited user this is critical to continue with Proton in the future.

Kann der Idee nur beipflichten. Meine ganze WG wartet auf dieses Feature. Das einzige was uns davon abhält endlich Microsoft den Rücken zu kehren, ist Proton Drive's immer noch nicht verfügbare Linux App. Ein Mitbewohner ist schon von Proton abgesprungen, weil die Linux App fehlt und er meint das Entwicklungsbudget geht in die falschen Features. Schade. Wann kann man mit einem Release rechnen?

I have the Proton family subscription. Synchronizing Drive with Linux is also crucial for us.

Recent political developments and my focus on “buy European” make Linux support for Proton Drive important, even crucial.

Despite Proton stating that it "supports user privacy", there is still no native application for Proton Drive for Linux operating systems.
While there are native apps for the telemetry-friendly Windows and Mac, there is nothing for Linux, and the workarounds -- Rclone etc -- are consistently blocked by Proton.
Is it time to start investing in another privacy-friendly company?
Thanks!

Agreed with all the comments here. I just signed up for Proton Ultimate and was stunned that even after all this time there was no support for a Drive app on Linux.

I'm on the "Proton Unlimited" plan. Linux support for Proton Drive is key for me too. :)

Recent political developments and focus on "buy European" many places make Proton Drive Linux support important.

Interestingly, even MEGA's free app works better than using half-baked solutions for Proton Drive through RClone and Celeste on Linux. Get it sorted! I'm gladly paying for Proton's other services, but the lack of a proper Drive application is really, really bad.

I'm trying to degoogle my life. Been a long time Linux user (25+ years). Want to move my last bit of stuff over from google workspaces and upgrade to Unlimited Plan but the lack of a working Linux client is making me think of moving completely off Proton after almost 8 years of using the service. Like others have said - stop all the development of these other add-ons and get a freaking Linux Drive client that actually works!!

I want a local-first Proton Drive that works on Linux

https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/local-first.pdf

Switched to linux and thinking about leaving Proton Drive because there is no linux client. Also the vpn client feels subpar compared to the windows and macos client...

an app dedicated to synchronizing files for linux desktops is really necessary, and would still be in line with the overall philosophy of the product by supporting an "open source" operating system wich is "privacy oriented" by design. Now this is the thing that poses the biggest obstacle for me to the completion of the degoogle process. Thanks.

How the article highlights the importance of real-time traffic data when estimating travel time. Tools like Waze and Google Maps definitely help reduce guesswork, especially for early-morning or late-night trips. I often pair those estimates with my own schedule planning, and resources like https://mountprobrisbane.com/ make it easier to manage timing around rest.

I have been waiting for nearly a year now and still no Linux support for Drive. How can this be???

The linux Proton drive app is the only component missing to complete a solution that can take me out of the Windows/Office/oneDrive straitjacket

It should be distro agnostic via Snap or Flatpak.

But I really need that too. Otherwise, I must use another service and stay here only for the mails.

I agree. I am very grateful that Proton exists, but we've been waiting for this for many years. I'd add three things :

* I have non-techie friends & family asking to switch to Linux (because of the Windows mess), and they're happy. But the lack of Proton drive client is something that is an argument to stay on Windows. Which is, privacy-wise, something that is completely against what Proton stands for!

* I don't you what your infrastructure is made of, but I'm willing to bet it's almost 100% linux-based. Maybe it's time to give back ?

* Proton's reputation is being damaged, and I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. Proton has been promising a linux client for Drive for so many years, without delivering, it makes me wonder how things work internally. Plus, your competitors (some are smaller than you are) have no problem delivering a linux client that works well, so what's the problem here?

I am also considering moving to other services because it does not work on linux. I am currently proton family for now.

This is a spot on request!

Linux in general would be nice. Debian/Ubuntu support as a priority though.

Thanks!

there was a RClone beta, but it dosen't seem to work any more.
