[From proton subreddit]

Today, we’re launching the Proton Drive app for Mac OS as a privacy-first alternative to iCloud Drive. It’s a significant milestone for us because Proton Drive is now available for all major platforms, including iPhone, Android, Windows, and the web app. We’re here thanks to all of your feedback on the Mac OS beta over the past few months. Thank you.

You can download the app here : https://proton.me/drive/download

Features

👉 Sync files from your Mac to the cloud with automatic, end-to-end encryption

👉 On-demand sync to save on device storage space

👉 Access Proton Drive on all Apple devices

👉 Recover any file with version history

👉 Files that are downloaded are available offline with edits synced once you’re back online

    Still waiting for the Linux app to switch my drive use over… hopefully that is prioritized soon. Been using mega while paying for proton as well

      They don’t really support Linux. We just got a “new” VPN client, which is incredibly bare-bones.

      One would think a company built almost entirely around privacy would want to support the most private OS but I guess it doesn’t pay too well.

        I completely agree. But last time I said that on reddit I was downvoted to hell. I said that there are a lot of Linux users on Proton, we are not the 1% in that case. There are more Linux users than Mac users! Nevertheless, I’m still waiting for a Linux version…

        They have a business to run. How many of their customers run Linux vs Windows or MacOS?

            That is exactly the point. The Linux userbase is generally more privacy oriented and thus available on Proton‘s channels, be that Twitter, Reddit or here.

            However that doesn‘t mean that in the global numbers of >100m accounts there are that many Linux users. There it is indeed < 1%. Without offense, Linux users are a vocal part but in the big picture a minority.

            That doesn‘t mean there won‘t be a Drive Linux client. It just means different priorities in releasing for in advantage for the bigger platforms first.

    Finally. Took them so long that I decided to completely move away from using Drive. I downgraded my subscription to Mail Plus and will probably move off of it when Skiff improves a bit more.

    That said, I will still recommend the proton suite to most people. I just prefer to self host.
