Yesterday I installed Proton Drive on a windows VM and played with it a bit. I tried to get it to sync a network drive which is the folder on linux that I want to sync with my Proton Drive account. It said it doesn't support syncing network drives. If you won't release a client for linux, can you at least allow drive to sync network folders? Why do you not have a linux client for Proton Drive?

This would enable me to get rid of google drive. Please give us an app that lets us sync directories on our devices with proton drive. Thank you.

I'd be happy if Proton Drive had a linux client that would allow me to mount my Proton Drive on my local filesystem. Having it with the ability to sync data would be nice but not absolutely necessary. I could use rsync to keep the various directories I wan backed up backed up on my Proton Drive and synced with the local directories they'd be backups of. There's a third party app that lets me mount my google drive account on my linux box,. I use rsync to keep directories backed up there, but I'd like to give up the google account.

I'd like to be able to mount my proton drive on my linux box. Google has that for windoze users, but not linux. I'd love to have it here.

Today I ran a test on my Proton Drive account. I added a folder with 3 files in it. On my local copy of the folder, I added a 4th file then tried to upload the folder again. It told me a folder with that name already exists and gave me 2 choices. 1 Replace the existing folder or 2 keep both, with a number added to the name of the second folder. For windows and mac users you have the option to sync a folder with the Proton Drive client. For Linux there is no Proton Drive client. The only way I have to access Proton Drive is through the web interface. This leaves me one option to keep my files synced with Proton Drive. That is to keep delete the entire backup I have on Proton Drive and upload all the files again. On my local file system, when I copy a folder and there's one with the same name on the destination device, I'm given the option to write files into the existing folder and subfolders. If there's a file with the same name already there, I've given the option to overwrite it or skip it, and the option to overwrite all or skip all. Having that on Proton Drive would allow me to keep a backup of the photos I take by uploading just the new ones instead of uploading them all again. I get the impression you have little or no interest in a Proton Drive client for Linux. Can you at least add the option I mentioned here? It shouldn't be too difficult. It's just adding a couple of options to something (web interface) that already exists.
Thank you
