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!

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.

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

Agreed. A windows like drive app and sync is very much needed.

The integration and synchronization of Proton Drive into Linux MX is essential for work!

The Linux apps from Proton are subpar when compared to the same apps on Windows or IOS (when they even exist).
As a paying unlimited customer I expect much better. I propose that instead of wasting resources on features which customers have not asked for (Ai, Bitcoin wallet, etc.) you allocate more time and resources to developing your Linux ecosystem. After all, Linux is the only truly private operating system, this should be closely aligned with Proton's mission.

No brainer, I don't know why Proton Desktop Drive isn't available for Linux yet, this is such a bummer. I paid for Unlimited, yet I am limited in what OS I can get supported from.

It would be so important that a Linux client is also available for Proton Drive. Everything else already exists. 🙏

Storage is the most basic system i/o. Linux should have its own app implemented also into the filesystem.

The rclone solution has stopped working because rclone can only reverse engineer the closed Proton Drive API. Please provide an official Linux client for Proton Drive.

I agree with the above comment. I actually had to buy another sync service from another supplier on top of my Proton Unlimited account.
So if Proton cannot provide for this critical option under Linux before my plan terminates, I will have to leave Proton too. -

If you do not synchronize Drive with Linux, I will reluctantly have to leave your Proton Unlimited and use another system compatible with Linux Mint.
