I tried rclone and it freaked out at regular ping intervals and instead deleted everything on the drive. GG. I want to like you Proton but your decisions of late are ASTHENATE. I wouldn’t have minded the crypto wallet release if basic features on the core apps were remotely coherently finished. The AI writer add on for a local model doesn’t even work on Firefox. For people supposedly embracing the FOSStyle, this isn’t the way. /rant
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Just needed to scream into the void.
So real
It makes me a sad panda.
me waiting the drive linux client
Soon TM
I’m just over here wanting a “just the fucking email I signed up for” option, or an “opt out of additional bullshit you didn’t ask for” button. Heck, throw in a "disallow any APIs for “AI” permanently button.
Do what I do. I run my own email server. When a company spams me, I create a server level rule that forwards all of their emails to their sales address, and then deletes the email from my server.
I may look in to that.

The did explain in a blog post that AI integration was one of the higher requested features. And with an electron client, it’s easy to roll out to all platforms.
A drive client for Linux would need to be specifically developed and could not be reused for other platforms.
But yes, I would love a Drive client for Linux. I’ve recently started moving to Proton and can’t make use of Drive without it.
Linux-compatible requests are literally some of the top 5 requests across all apps.
Yes but for 6% of the userbase. It’s frustrating but I can understand them prioritizing other features.
@Dave @fossilesque Where did 6% come from?
It was in my head from somewhere, so I went back trying to find out where. I think the number probably comes from this article, in which for VPN users, 6% asked for better Linux support.
They mention Linux in other sections(e.g. Drive) but only as part of the “Other” category and they don’t quantify it.
However, the smallest category separately listed for Proton Drive has 8% of the vote, so it’s definitely less than that, and it would make sense for it to be around 6% like the VPN one.
Drive is pretty wonky for me on Mac and iOS, so you’re not missing much.
It’s frustrating. I use Proton Drive only for “cold storage” backups, and have to pay for a Filen subscription (which works great!) for things I need to live sync.
FYI: RClone added proton drive support. just synced a 220gb borg archive over last week.
I wonder if Proton could shave off some work hours by just putting the API team in contact with the RClone backend developer, or by contributing to it.
I get the feeling even if Proton released a drive app for Linux, all but the most casual users will just be waiting for when RClone learns from it and improves.
Yes, I am aware. I did too, two weeks ago and then it deleted everything after it stopped working.
i wander where they got the feedback from, that the people wanted AI related features more than say linux support on drive, mail, and vpn
