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.

Proton promises to discreetly, securely and anonymously deliver your data, but you must open the package in front of Big Tech on their premises...

Proton's handling of this issue has been disheartening to say the least. Besides the irony of having a mission to be an alternative to "Big Tech" and still being tethered to them is ridiculous. Encryption means very little when an operating system like windows is accessing it, it's leaky and Microslop's mission is to hoover up your data regardless of conscious consent. They've already been found to use stored passwords to unlock and scan encrypted files in Onedrive. So when they achieve the stated goal of making windows an agentic os that sees and hears what you do there is no doubt that end to end encryption will mean nothing to the privacy and security of your data from Big Tech and one might as well just use one drive.

It's been the same since I got Proton Business for email 3 years ago. Since then half a dozen apps have showed up, still no native Drive app. Really takes the shine off of all these new developments, half of which I don't need or want (certainly don't want to pay for especially if web based) and the other half are hobbled to the brink of uselessness because of the lack of native Linux drive. It's kept me from moving clients businesses over to Proton hoping this would be addressed. 3 years plus is a long time to erode away at the trust of your customers. Coincidentally, it's also why it's been difficult to move some clients off windows (at least those tethered by 365, won't help the ones with business critical CAD or Adobe products). So, essentially Proton is supporting and perpetuating "Big Tech's" stranglehold.

Regardless, the decision to remove/delist the original Linux drive app request has really undermined my confidence in Proton, as if hiding it from Top/Hot topic or whatever wasn't disappointing enough. I've started looking for alternatives and I've stopped suggesting Proton to anyone who doesn't just need a free small email account.

If this ever does get addressed I hope it's a Flatpak implementation.

Please bring this over! or provide a process to make it work via command line etc

It would be nice if it's implemented via exposing a WebDAV bridge endpoint and register it into the system, since it will automatically enable integration with other applications in the system using the standard XDG file chooser portal (https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser.html)

rclone is not a real 100% solution to this for linux and Proton should absolutely be expected to be held responsible for providing a linux functioning version. Recent Fedora adopter and really disappointed that Proton seems to sweep this under the rug and ignore its users requests for it. Making me seriously reconsider the entire Proton platform.

Crucial feature!
