    Filen.io just works. Trying to use the web app in Linux is next to impossible. I decided that I wasn't going to waste a lot of time using it or waiting on a Linux client from Proton.

    I considered sevaral of the other solutions available that had Linux clients. They either didn't match my minimum requirements (cross platform, open source (enough), end-to-end encrypted, etc., or when I tried them by getting monthly subscriptions and trying them, they just didn't work very well. Some were just terrible.

    I finally tried Filen.io. You can mount the drive or you can sync a local folder on multiple devices. As with anything, you have to figure things out - no problem. Filen.io is quite stable and just works.

    So, I've found a solution that works and that's quite reasonably priced. In fact, its seems to work better than Proton Drive on platforms that have a Proton Drive client. Would I prefer that Proton provide a Linux client? Yes. Am I going to remember that they didn't and disregarded the Linux users? Yes. Am I going to be in a hurry to switch to a Proton Drive Linux client when it becomes available? No. Am I going to consider all of this when my current Proton subscription is up for renewal? YES!

    Regarding a Proton Drive Linux client: I'm beginning to wonder about the company's motivations given the number of votes and comments. I pay good money for my Unlimited subscription. I don't HAVE to keep subscribing.

    Ditto what Chuck Biscuits just said. Proton, help your US customers out. Things are getting too weird here. I want to move completely away from all US tech as I'm sure many more also want to do. We need a Linux client for Proton Drive. This may be a very good opportunity for Proton.

    Hello Proton,

    Thank you for all you do! Another user mentioned adding note types in Proton Pass Notes similar to Standard Notes. Specifically and hopefully, adding a checklist with checkboxes might be quite easy.

    Yes, file tags would make things so much better. Refer to MacOS file tags. As another user suggested, Proton Mail labels is a good way to implement tags also. Being able to have multiple tags for each file would be wonderful. This is one of the main reasons that I really can't use Proton Drive. What you've created so far is very good. Given that files are searchable from the browser interface makes Proton Drive reasonably useful, however I haven't adopted Proton Drive yet mainly because of the file tags issue.
