[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.

👉 On-demand sync to save on device storage space
👉 Access Proton Drive on all Apple devices

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

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?
They did a poll on Twitter. Aboit 40% users use Linux.
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.

32.6% use Linux, even more than MacOS! PS not sure why the “it is” appears twice in the above link…
@hydration9806 @akilou this is a little biased though. It’s assuming most Proton users are on X. Is it though?
Then the question is, how many Linux users are off X. If they use proton I guess they care about privacy, which means they are more likely not to be on a capitalist social - more so one ran by Musk: the percentage of Linux users using proton products may be even higher.

@helenslunch @akilou sure… and we don’t have to be their customers. Free markets are awesome that way.
I don’t disagree

Great! I’m a paying customer of mail and drive.
Please do Linux now. Please.
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.
One year from now:
I’m switching away from Skiff because it hasn’t improved fast enough
Lmao fair. I’d rather self host all my stuff, but mail seems a bit more complex.
Mailbox.org is a great alternative, cheaper and runs entirely of green energy ✌️
