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

And how is that becoming better? Their mobile and desktop softwares aren’t on par with anything free or paid, they work yes but they lack a of features that their own web app have; the calendar app, on iOS at least, is straight up useless; the mail app works but it lacks in basic features and it’s ugly; they barely support Linux; their own drive software lacks a lot of features that other drive services - privacy oriented and with E2E - have.

Isn’t the bridge end2end?

I don’t depend on the feature which is why I didn’t read (care) about it. I use the bridge with thundebird which works okish.

Maybe they’ll release the drive client with ProtonPhotos or ProtonChat

I hope you voted for the client on https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/45271456-linux-client-for-syncing

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.

@DocBlaze @beta_tester been waiting for same. I’m not holding my breath. Paying full premium family service now but if we don’t get a proton drive app in the next year I’m going to move on to something else.

I do regret the timing of my Visionary, because from their posts it seemed like one would be able to use Drive both on Windows and Mac by now, but it’s still practically unusable on Windows and no where to be seen on Mac. I would have been better off waiting two years before upgrading to Visionary.

There’s no app app but you can still use Proton Drive on Linux via browser, right?

Threaded conversations on mobile. Dedicated contacts management app that acts as your default contact app on mobile.

Fo christ sake, I can’t even edit a calendar event on mobile if another participant is added to it.

There are a million things to polish.
