Yeah this is a big issue for me. I recently switched entirely to linux, and I would like to ditch dropbox, and exclusively use proton. so i upgraded to the 2Tb Duo plan. but so far the workarounds aren't syncing properly. so idk.. i'll keep trying but if i can't get it to work i'll have to go back to dropbox

Linux client is very important to be available in a product like Proton where the many of the users use this OS as default

we need linux app ;)

Voted as critical. For the moment it feels that I'm paying for nothing if I can't reliably sync on Linux, which is the only OS that I run on my desktop and laptop. I'll be downgrading my subscription if you don't make a Linux client in the near future.

This would be a huge asset to have on Linux. It's the singular thing that's stopping me from moving away from Windows at the moment.

This is really essential. Struggling to make rclone work.

+1 I would really like to use proton drive more on Linux. Having to work with workarounds feels counterintuitive.

I knew proton drive was lacking on linux side when I mode on to proton, that didn't bother me much, as I did not use linux daily.
now I've moved, to linux 80%, and this is becoming quite annoying issue, having to invent workarounds for service I pay for.

Please please make this, I'd really love a Proton Drive app in Linux that integrates with file managers on KDE/Gnome/Cinnamon

another +1. This is really important, and Linux is rapidly gaining share from disaffected macos users...

Linux distributions are the only OS's I use besides mobile.

3 and a halv years since this issue hase been raised. All the comments and votes speak for them selves.
And why block a good alternat rout for linux users with RClone?
Proton Team get on it please!

Either provide a linux client or support RClone or similar officially. Currently rclone seems to be blacklisted despite being an almost universally accepted approach to mounting cloud drives.

It is just sad that there is just not a Native Linux client. I truly like proton, but as we want privacy, Linux should be there in the first place - with Proton Drive.

5k+ votes and 1k+ comments strongly suggest unmet demand. Even limited conversion from this group would likely cover development costs quickly. Proton Drive on Linux is a strategic gap, not a niche request.

I am a Proton Unlimited subscriber and I use Linux as my primary operating system for professional work.

At present, the lack of a native Linux client with local synchronization represents a significant operational limitation compared to Windows and macOS. For professional workflows, reliance on the web interface or unsupported third-party tools is not a sustainable solution.

Core business requirements such as automated sync, offline access, filesystem integration, and reliability cannot be met without first-class Linux support.

Many professional users choose Proton precisely because its values around privacy, security, and transparency align naturally with the Linux ecosystem. In this context, Linux support for Proton Drive should be considered a strategic capability, not a niche feature.

I would appreciate clarification on:

whether Proton Drive for Linux is planned or actively being evaluated

whether any form of prioritization or internal roadmap exists, even without specific dates

Please note that the availability of an official Linux client would directly influence our decision to continue and expand our professional use of Proton Drive across multiple Unlimited accounts. In its absence, we are forced to evaluate alternatives that provide native Linux support.

I moved to Linux (MX Linux, Debian derivative) after Windows 10 hit EOL. The lack of a Linux client has become a critical issue for me, since I may need to downgrade or terminate my Proton subscription so I can afford a cloud storage provider which I can use for sync on Linux.

I've tried multiple workarounds: Celeste, rclone, and wine. I have to conclude that cloud sync on Linux simply won't be possible for me unless I change providers or Proton releases a Linux client.

One of the many +1's to this conversation. Please, please, please bump this product up on the road map. Can't image the number of additional paying customers Proton would gain with a fully featured Drive linux client.

Desktop Linux is on the rise too! Better to catch the wave and ride it instead of trying to catch up to the wave as it's passing!

I won't be signing up for a subscription until Linux is catered for - crazy that your business model is privacy and security focussed but you ignore Linux development.
