Proton's handling of this issue has been disheartening to say the least. Besides the irony of having a mission to be an alternative to "Big Tech" and still being tethered to them is ridiculous. Encryption means very little when an operating system like windows is accessing it, it's leaky and Microslop's mission is to hoover up your data regardless of conscious consent. They've already been found to use stored passwords to unlock and scan encrypted files in Onedrive. So when they achieve the stated goal of making windows an agentic os that sees and hears what you do there is no doubt that end to end encryption will mean nothing to the privacy and security of your data from Big Tech and one might as well just use one drive.
It's been the same since I got Proton Business for email 3 years ago. Since then half a dozen apps have showed up, still no native Drive app. Really takes the shine off of all these new developments, half of which I don't need or want (certainly don't want to pay for especially if web based) and the other half are hobbled to the brink of uselessness because of the lack of native Linux drive. It's kept me from moving clients businesses over to Proton hoping this would be addressed. 3 years plus is a long time to erode away at the trust of your customers. Coincidentally, it's also why it's been difficult to move some clients off windows (at least those tethered by 365, won't help the ones with business critical CAD or Adobe products). So, essentially Proton is supporting and perpetuating "Big Tech's" stranglehold.
Regardless, the decision to remove/delist the original Linux drive app request has really undermined my confidence in Proton, as if hiding it from Top/Hot topic or whatever wasn't disappointing enough. I've started looking for alternatives and I've stopped suggesting Proton to anyone who doesn't just need a free small email account.
If this ever does get addressed I hope it's a Flatpak implementation.

Currently all three of these systems have feature parity; the gap is in terms of UI, and this is something that we have in our plans to close.

Proton promises to discreetly, securely and anonymously deliver your data, but you must open the package in front of Big Tech on their premises...
