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.
Proton is becoming better every day. Oftentimes it’s easier to push new services than to polish old ones. And they explained a lot of times that there are different teams working on different products.
But some basic things were promised many years ago and they did not yet deliver yet which is sad

@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.

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.
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.
There’s no app app but you can still use Proton Drive on Linux via browser, right?

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

What basic things ?
Threaded conversations on mobile. Dedicated contacts management app that acts as your default contact app on mobile.
Fo christ sake, I can’t even edit a calendar event on mobile if another participant is added to it.
There are a million things to polish.
And how is that becoming better? Their mobile and desktop softwares aren’t on par with anything free or paid, they work yes but they lack a of features that their own web app have; the calendar app, on iOS at least, is straight up useless; the mail app works but it lacks in basic features and it’s ugly; they barely support Linux; their own drive software lacks a lot of features that other drive services - privacy oriented and with E2E - have.
Love my Proton Business plan.
