I am so close to getting my family to switch to Linux. A replacement for one drive, preferably a Proton one, is the last thing to tip the scales

There is a linux onedrive client (not official). There's a CLI one as wall as a seperately developed GUI that sits on top.

I have been watching for any news of a Proton Drive Linux client . Even though I gave up on it and self-hosted Nextcloud instead, I'm still curious how long it takes.

I only ever see news of improvements to the Linux VPN client, as far as I'm aware a Drive client is not even in development.

Edit: keep reading down for more info

Actually it's on their roadmap on the official website. They're working on it.

I'll be shocked if it's functional within 3 years.

Thanks I seem to have missed that mention, however, I don't think it implies a linux client is actually in development.

The October Update says they are improving the SDK in anticipation of the Linux app, much like your July one says.

It would be interesting to know a more concrete date, even if only what quarter they are targeting (or hell, I'd settle for whether they expect it to release next year or not).

Yes, I would definitely appreciate something more concrete. Hopefully that will come soon.
