Proton: Proton Drive got faster and easier to use in early 2026

They’ve been mentioning this for so long now that I just expect them to never release it. Hopefully its different now. This is the most concrete comment they’ve provided about linux in their blogs > we haven’t lost sight of our broader priorities for 2026, including the long-awaited Linux client with “broader priorities” being this > Over the course of 2026, we’ll migrate all existing Proton Drive features to the SDK, and build all new features on top of it. > > Our priorities are to: > > * Complete the SDK rollout across all Proton Drive clients, so the desktop, mobile, and web apps use the same codebase. > * Upgrade Drive’s encryption algorithms to use on‑device hardware acceleration, delivering faster operations while reducing CPU usage. > * Add the still-missing Drive features to the SDK, starting with Photos uploads and downloads, file sharing, devices, and file revisions. > * Gradually move toward a single, well‑documented integration path that third‑party apps can rely on. > * Build a Linux client using the SDK, which speeds up development and keeps it consistent with the other Proton Drive clients > Looks like linux is at the very bottom of priorities lol, maybe it’ll release early 2027 if not late 2026.
