When will the Proton Drive Linux desktop application be released? We pay the same fee as macOS and Windows users, but we don't have the right to use it. This is discrimination.

I would appreciate having it on my Linux device. Otherwise, I'll have to use another cloud service

Greater cross compatibility between Proton Suite and Linux is the only thing stopping me from a total de-googlification.

I have a full subscription but If Tuta Drive comes first, I will switch.

(this topic is 2.5 year old already!)

For me, a native application would offer:
Better integration with the Linux file system (e.g., seamless syncing, offline access).
Improved performance and resource management compared to browser-based solutions.
Alignment with Proton's strong presence in the open-source and Linux community. Many privacy-conscious users rely on Linux as their primary OS, and a native client would make Proton Drive a viable competitor to other cloud storage solutions in this ecosystem.

Linux+Proton is a good way to get rid of both Microsoft and Google, mainly for privacy and data security purpose.
I'm trying to migrate my whole company under Proton, but the absence of ProtonDrive CLI for Ubuntu makes everything pretty difficult.
I'm not the only one expecting Linux CLI. Can we at least have a date? 5 weeks or 5 years?

Due to Microsoft's current update policy regarding the use of cloud services and the extremely difficult workarounds for these services, I believe a native Linux Drive app is urgently needed.

Dear Proton Team, please provide us with such an app as soon as possible so that we can finally switch from Windows to Linux.

Thank you.

The most privacy conscious customers of yours (myself included) use Linux. Please give us a native app that can sync folders. Distribute it in a distro agnostic form since we don’t all use gnome or ubuntu.

I am also a long-time paying customer of Proton. And as mentioned many times below, seeing the original demand with more than 6k votes being deleted makes me seriously reconsider a switch to another provider.

I can definitely understand that developing such a client isn't an easy job. but it has been years simce the original request was made... and such behaviour gives the impression that this forum is used more as a tool to justify the current roadmap than as a way to take user concerns seriously.

I would be happy to be proved wrong, but I don't see any public commitment in the last Proton Drive update: https://proton.me/blog/drive-2026-q1-recap

Otherwise, seems like kDrive from Infomaniak could be a nice alternative: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/kdrive

Please offer something that can service mainstream distros besides Ubuntu GNOME, and please don't offer it exclusively via Snap. Flatpaks, App Images, etc, anything in addition to snaps

This is critical, and I suspect a lot of people interested in privacy, are also Linux users! I appreciate Proton, but please focus on your existing products, rather than constantly launching new ones. The lack of this is pushing me towards other cloud storage providers.

This is one of the most important features for me in Proton Drive. I have been using a different storage company that offers a Drive feature for Linux.

It is truly disappointing that bringing a core product to a key demographic of your organization is seemingly so low on the priority list, please fix this. I love what you all are doing overall, but this is beyond frustrating to paying customers.

I just want to add my voice to the rest of the people who are frustrated with the lack of a linux client. I echo the complaints and disappointment of Proton's hippocratic actions of touting privacy but not supporting linux. I like others am now forced to consider other services.

Still no Linux Proton Drive app is making me reconsider Proton as a whole. What is the status on this? Why does it take so long while new products are being launched?!

I'd like to vouch for Drive Linux support as well. I'm trying to remove Microslop from my life and having a robust suite of services and apps is essential to do that effectively.

The lack of proton Drive for linux is the only thing which is making me consider switching to dropbox or any of the other many cloud storage providers

Normally I would ask "does anyone else find it" but in this case I bet everyone in this thread finds it annoying that the new product, proton meet, got a linux app before drive ... real slap in the face

Please please release a linux sync client. I am a paying user. It's been a very and disappointing long wait.
