At Proton, we’re always working on new and innovative ways to protect the privacy and data of the Proton community.
Yeah, I guess that’s nice. I do like Proton.
I’d love for Proton to focus on completing some current services and make them actually usable though.
I love proton to death and I don’t regret my visionary membership at all but I’m still waiting on a proton drive client for linux, or a proper end to end email client, and im starting to fear that wait will be forever.
@DocBlaze @beta_tester been waiting for same. I’m not holding my breath. Paying full premium family service now but if we don’t get a proton drive app in the next year I’m going to move on to something else.
Highly unlikely I end up leaving proton visionary because the value you get here is way better than anything else, VPN email cloud storage password locker etc. I could try vetting different services for all of those but it’s super convenient to have all of them in one trusted provider.
I do regret the timing of my Visionary, because from their posts it seemed like one would be able to use Drive both on Windows and Mac by now, but it’s still practically unusable on Windows and no where to be seen on Mac. I would have been better off waiting two years before upgrading to Visionary.
proton drive for linux is on the roadmap.
Do you have a link? The only information I can find only calls out Windows / MacOS for desktop:

Well crap. I could have sworn I saw it on that very post…I might be mistaken then. At the very least I did see that it was one of the more requested features on their feature tracker.
@black-twisted-boughs @MossBear it’s been on the road map for two years with no update.
There’s no app app but you can still use Proton Drive on Linux via browser, right?
yes but begrudgingly, because for the proton visionary membership of 100 bucks a year I should be able to at least have something that works as seamlessly in the background as Tresorit or Spideroak or any of the E2E encrypted cloud competitors already have.
I’m currently using it for a software project so I have a need to sync files back and forth quite often and it’s very inconvenient for the cost at the moment.
Isn’t the bridge end2end?
I don’t depend on the feature which is why I didn’t read (care) about it. I use the bridge with thundebird which works okish.
Maybe they’ll release the drive client with ProtonPhotos or ProtonChat
I hope you voted for the client on https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client-for-syncing
I’m also using the bridge (with thunderbird) and I’m not mad at the FOSS solution but I believe they are supposed to be working on a dedicated client regardless, which I would much prefer for my proton emails. Id still use thunderbird for work email related stuff.
