Linux Client
Proton Drive really needs the ability to sync desktop files automatically. This post focuses on a Linux client for Proton Drive.

I am a long time Visionary user of Proton. I move between Windows, Android, and Ubuntu Linux. It would be extremely valuable to be able to move and share files securely between all three systems. Please implement a Linux version of Proton Drive.

For making unencrypted backups on external harddisks you need locally synchronized data. With the end auf Windows 10 lots of PCs will shift to Linux.

As I was looking for a Dropbox replacement and Proton doesn't deliver for Linux yet, I've stumbled over Koofr.eu. Maybe this is of help for some other Linux-users.

Yes please. proton cannot keep singing about the importance of privacy while expecting its users to run proton apps on a OS like windows

Please, when this feature will be considered... ? I'm using Proton Drive for my company and I use RcloneView with experimental feature in order to sync protondrive files, but it's really a pain and I'm not sure about privacy with this tool.

We really need a linux client and proton is already not cheap when it comes to storage, which makes it even worse that there is no linux app to use the full potential of the subscription.
Additionally, the Windows 10 end of life is coming closer and hence many people including my family want to move devices to linux to reduce waste, but then it is not possible to use ProtonDrive -

As the end of Windows 10 is coming closer, and many not that old cpu's are not supported, many people including me and my family will move the devices to linux and hence reduce waste. It is a shame that the usage of Proton Drive is then no longer possible

Vote 4000! Like many others, this is a critically missing feature. Being a father of 3 teens, I have been teaching them the importance of privacy and vigilance against government overreach. Proton has everything needed to accomplish this except for not having a viable drive solution for Linux. I beg the product management team to reconsider their development priorities.
Thank you

I've just migrated from Mac to Linux, so looking for a replacement for my old "Time Capsule" automated backup process. "Oh that's fine," I thought. "I've got Proton Drive - they're bound to have an app, or if all else fails I can use cron to automate something. It'll be fun!"
And then I discovered Proton Drive has no Linux capacity whatsoever.
What?
How?
Why??? -

Second most upvoted feature for proton drive, how is this not already in the pipeline?

This is a major feature, it must not be down-prioritized. Time to show that you care about privacy by making a client for a privacy oriented OS.

The main uses of any cloud storage for me are: file sharing (rarely), backups, and syncing files between devices. The last two require a client that is capable of interacting with the filesystem so a browser app is insufficient. This, and the VPN are the only two Proton offerings that need a client app to function correctly (at least a CLI client). I am surprised that the mail and calendar apps are being prioritized since they appear to give no improvements to having a pinned browser tab.

What happened, Proton? 😢
What are we for you anymore? -

Oh, I'm afraid that Proton became a too large company to care about us, its users, anymore :(

This has gotten critical for us. Please provide at least an official cli client

I'm considering/researching moving to linux in light of some up-coming windows changes.
Part of that research is to determine which apps I can use on linux that I rely on. Proton (Mail/Drive/VPN/Pass/etc) are some of those apps.
Not having a linux Drive is a real issue. Get it sorted, Proton!

Wow—nearly 4,000 votes and still nothing from Proton’s devs? Do they even care about what users think? This is seriously disappointing, and I honestly regret ever using Proton Drive.
