"...where's the Proton Drive application for Linux!?
I sincerely hope Proton is working on it, as Linux users have been asking for it for a long time now."

Well said.

Regarding the Linux app for Proton Drive: In an interview (https://youtu.be/Dp7ght2fMR4, around minute 40) with Nick from @thelinuxEXP, Andy Yen said that about a third of Proton‘s employees use Linux, and that they are working on an app for Linux, but they only want to release it, once it works for every distribution. He said that this is difficult because of the many filesystems, different solutions for permissions and package managers that exist for Linux.

Linux support has been promised for so many years now, I no longer believe that anything will come of it. And what is available as a Linux version is ultimately half-heartedly implemented crap.

If they took security seriously, there would be a corresponding repository with the source code. And a corresponding community would have formed long ago. But then you could possibly find out that Proton's promises regarding security are not quite so secure after all.

For this year they promised to publish an SDK to speed up Linux development. This last update states “Over the next few months, we’ll enhance the app further by adding more new features and releasing the Software Development Kit (SDK) that the new macOS app is based on, which we anticipate will serve as the basis for a highly requested Linux app.” So fingers crossed

I read the headline, and stopped reading. #Proton continues to suck on #Linux, still prefers privacy invasive operation systems.

I consider Proton's focus on privacy as pure marketing, as long as the focus is Windows, which wants to make a screenshot of the desktop, your mails, your docs every few seconds and upload it to OpenAI. Your encrypted mails become publicly readable, and maybe the template for mails written by Copilot.
