      I can’t wait for Proton to ship Drive for Linux just so we can get a different complaint as the top comment on every Proton thread

      Yeah, give me Proton Drive for Linux and Cal/CardDAV and I’ll throw my money at you even if it’s 5 times more than I currently pay for email.

        F-droid… We still can’t schedule send emails on Android. The new Android app isn’t any better. There’s a very long way to go.

          They don’t have SMTP and IMAP, I just want that (which is why I’m hosting my main Mail with another provider now)

      Seriously… I would rather not have to pay for Filen on top of my Proton business sub.

      That’s the real sticking point for me, it is a problem for my desire to transition to Linux as a daily driver.

        The only thing I know is RClone or something which I am not technically advanced enough to use. If I am paying for a Proton subscription, I shouldn’t have to make any work arounds. They should ship the full suite by default.

          They don’t take money from investors but grow organically, which limits their resources quite a bit. With more users being on other platforms and Linux being a bit more complex when it comes to amount of possible filesystem and other combinations I see why it takes them a while. Iirc they also do e2e encryption of (meta-)data which does increase complexity.

          Hopefully they’ll finish it at some point, as it’s been a long time since they announced Proton Drive. As I’m not paying for Proton, I understand a paying long-time subscriber might not share my acceptance of them zaking their time.

            While there is no denying that, their decisions of not releasing flatpaks and instead releasing .deb and .rpm files is something contradictory as flatpak is a literal solution to make unified packaging formats on all Linux distros, but Proton is instead focusing on package manager versions which just makes their own life more difficult. They have done this with the Protonmail beta release on Linux btw.
