The current ProtonDrive roadmap has gone from "not in my lifetime" to this: "At the same time, we’re continuing to improve the SDK — preparing it for public release and ensuring it provides a solid foundation for the upcoming Linux Drive app, a popular favorite on the community wishlist."
Of course, I'll believe it when I see it (still waiting for a Contacts client too), but a little hope is always nice.

Okay, I've given up on Proton Drive and found a different cloud provider (based in Switzerland, no less) that syncs with my Linux box and Android phone. I've also given up on Calendar, in favor of a CalDev calendar that works offline. So, I'm down to Mail, Pass, and VPN. These work pretty well and I'm likely to keep them. But the rest of the Proton offerings that I pay for aren't doing anything for me. <shrug>

Time for my periodic check-in on a Linux client for Proton Drive and ... still nothing. Is this a deal-breaker? It certainly gives a strong message that Linux people -- generally those most interested in privacy -- are second-class citizens.

Proton's complete and utter failure to prioritize Linux sync for Proton Drive -- or even put it on the roadmap -- feels pretty insulting after so many years. Especially since Drive syncing is such a critical piece of any customer's workflow. And particularly since so many other companies offer a Linux sync solution already.
Being a second-class citizen sucks. It's far past time for Linux users to look at alternatives.

I just went back to the first comment in this thread. It was October 30, 2020. Four years plus. That's a long time to ignore (likely) tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of customers.

Sure, I can access Contacts within Proton Mail, but that's a lot of taps. And when I want to add or edit an entry I can not do so within the app -- I'm shunted out to a web interface.
My first choice: A full-featured Proton Calendar app for Android and iOS.
My second choice: Ability to fully edit Contacts from within the Proton Mail app.Davo

I'm a heavy checklist user. A Proton version could be a huge part of my workflow.
My wife and I are on different OSes, but both on Proton. A Proton ToDo app would let us share grocery lists (etc) again without needing to install a complex 3rd-party app like Todoist.

Planned since Jan 2019?!
At this point I would be happy with a deep link that would open a Contacts view in ProtonMail directly. Let me put an icon on my home page that lets me skip a few taps -- as a stopgap until a proper Contacts system is available.

Currently on an Android phone I:
-tap ProtonMail
-tap hamburger menu
-swipe up
-tap Contactsand get a working Contacts app.
A standalone app that would get to that data -- even if it was just some kind of shortcut going straight to the same place in ProtonMail -- would be a really useful app.
As it is, I use the built-in Android Contacts app.

Hey, it's time again for my periodic and futile Proton Drive rant!
Five years, four months after someone first submitted this idea we still have no Proton Drive sync client for Linux.
I have about 75 GB of photos and data that I would love to store E2E encrypted in Proton Drive, but as a Linux user I only have a manual, web-based interface with which to attempt this. So I gave it a try. After 24 hours of uploading, letting the system run overnight, I was about 20% finished (with about 12,000 "failed upload" notices), so I gave up. For my use case, there is not yet an acceptable Linux solution here.
If you have a handfull of documents, Linux users may be able to upload them successfully to their Drive account via the web. If you use the Android or iOS app, they'll keep your photos nicely sync'd to the cloud. Yay! But, again, if you use Linux you're decidedly a second-class citizen on the desktop.
Proton says they have assigned their Linux developers to ProtonVPN, due to all the totalitarian maneuvering on the interwebs these days. Fair enough, though perhaps there are more Linux developers in the world who could be hired? Maybe?
At the very least, a number of other companies -- even some based in Switzerland -- have solved the Linux sync issue, so this is kind of inexplicable to me. (BTW, a sync of my data to pCloud -- albeit not E2E encrypted, which is a significant issue to be fair -- takes an hour or so. But pCloud offers a Linux client and has for years.)
I currently have a Duo account with my wife, but when it comes due for renewal I'll be looking at downgrading my Proton involvement. I can't use all their services -- really, Mail and VPN are the only important ones in my workflow. But besides that I am clearly not their target audience. And at this point, I just feel insulted.
