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

I love proton to death and I don't regret my visionary membership at all but I'm still waiting on a proton drive client for linux, or a proper end to end email client, and im starting to fear that wait will be forever.

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:

The Proton Drive team is currently working on two new apps: standalone desktop apps for Windows and macOS.

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.
