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!

Linux support is really needed - I still have to use dropbox. I cant understand why this is still not a Linux App

I support the request for Linux, but it likely makes sense to ask for an AppImage so that they're not targeting specific distros.

Migrating off of windows. Icedrive has a competent AppImage, Dropbox has a janky featureless shell of its windows offering, and Proton just has nothing.
Drive is my second priority of all of Proton's offerings, behind email itself. Here's hoping windows 11 drives enough users away that Linux can get more attention in the future.
Thanks!

I'll use it in the webbrowser for now. I know that one day it will be there...I'll hope within a year. but I nevertheless will stay.

This issue is prompting me to set up a home server with NextCloud and will be leaving Proton ecosystem when that's ready.

Proton Drive need full and complete functionality with sync in linux. Right now it is only a file dump for linux users. Needs to work like filen.

Gerade ein Unternehmen, dem Datenschutz wichtig ist, müsste die Möglichkeit bieten, auch Kunden, welche nicht das Betriebssystem eines US-Tech-Giganten nutzen wollen, ihre Rechner zu synchronisieren.

How can a company allegedly committed to privacy not have an installation for Linux? Makes absolutely zero sense. Put your money where your priorities are!

Agreed with others, I'm in the process of moving my cloud storage and naturally went to use Proton Drive when I realised that it's not compatible with Linux for automatic backups, and I don't fancy manually uploading everything. I actually found the incompatibility very surprising given Protons values, I would imagine that Protons userbase has a higher percentage of Linux users than say Google Drive, so I almost assumed it was a given that it would be supported. As others have also said, the move towards using European services is on the rise and cloud storage is (in my mind) a bare essential service when compared to things like AI, crypto wallets, cloud office products, etc. Please keep the focus on your big three - email, VPN, and cloud storage. Everything else is just bells and whistles. I'd be really glad to see compatibility added but for now I'll have to spend money elsewhere.

want to use my keepass database synced with proton drive. Please give us proton drive for linux!
Recent political developments and my focus on “buy European” make Linux support for Proton Drive important, even crucial.

I agree with other comments that we Linux users need better support from Proton. I have recommended multiple people to switch to Proton. Hoping I can continue to do so since I also recommend switching to Linux.

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.

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.
