Very cool but Proton Drive for Linux when?
I feel like their goal is more close to providing a privacy-minded alternative to Google’s G-suite to “regular” users, so for me it totally makes sense. But yeah, I’m also really waiting for the Linux drive app.
They don’t care.
I don’t think they don’t care, they have been adding Linux versions for all of their apps (except drive of course). The CEO themselves said in an interview that a Linux client for drive is inevitable and they will make one, but one of the hardest clients to develop.
That might be it. Whatever the reason, it seems like a missed opportunity. Especially when they go out of their way to provide direct APKs to Android users who do not use Play Store.

They already had to make the APK for the Play Store, providing it directly doesn’t require extra dev work.
For every proton post, can we please get a bot that auto posts these, to save everyone the effort:
- proton isn’t private / yes it is / they never claimed to be
- wasnt there a case when they shared that activist account / you have the facts wrong, here’s what actually happened
- [insert proton app name] for Linux when? / Linux is only x% of user base
- proton needs to finish [insert proton app name] before starting something new / they are different teams so not relevant
- proton needs to make X / no they don’t
- people shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket / don’t use the service then
Thanks!
So… where’s the source?
FYI this does not include spreadsheets, so if you’re hoping to replace an office suite, it’s not there yet.
Spreadsheets are life. I think in spreadsheets. I hope it comes soon.
