@geography082 @forerunner That might force Proton's arm to permit advertising (other than Proton pushing their own products).

@GrappleHat @Reverendender So many sites assume individuals who use a VPN are up to no good.

Some may be.

Most people though are just trying to draw the curtains so the creeps hiding in the bushes are less likely to see in.

@abobla Thanks for telling us why the delay for a Proton Drive client!

@Dave Thank you. I agree with you 6% is a small percentage. The problem is Linux users don't mind swimming upstream. They dropped M$ (not acceptable in today's business climate of conform or die). They're vocal.

There are other solutions to the problem. Proton is aware of these complications, yet they persist in refusing to make a Linux client for Proton Drive. Worst, they won't say why. The Linux community is watching and searching for a solution...not silence.

@Dave @fossilesque Are there (secure) alternatives to a Proton provided Drive application on Linux?

@Dave @fossilesque Where did 6% come from?

@proton_lynx 2/2 At this point I'm far more interested in why a Proton Drive Linux client is not available than I am when it will be available.

@proton_lynx Proton hasn't said when (if) a Proton Drive Linux client would be made available or what the delay is. They will add you to the long list of user's requesting a Proton Drive Linux client.

When they added me to the list a very warm and comforting feeling came over me. I thought, "They heard me and a Proton Drive Linux client will be available at some point." That was a year or more ago. I'm still comforted by that warm and fuzzy.
1/2

@proton_lynx @asdfasdfasdf I don't think a Linux client for Proton Drive is at the top of the priority list. It would be a good business practice by Proton to tell us why that is, if indeed it is the case.

@Forbo @forerunner ...OR tell us why it won't happen.

@sunzu @neme @luc891 @kryllic One problem is that affected customers who walk away never to return are hidden on the bottom line by new customers that replace them. Businesses don't care about disatisfied customers, not when they have all the customers they can handle.

Think of lost business as collateral damage or cost of doing business. The share holders can't see the lost revenue so it isn't "lost revenue."

@reallyzen Relunctantly, I have to agree, but we only know one side of this story. Companies tend not to reveal reasoning in any detail when defending themselves. Sometimes they even deliberately mislead. As a result, it's not likely anyone will *know* how truthful any response would be - all we can do is ask the question.
