    It’s a priority for 2026 which they mentioned in January: https://proton.me/blog/drive-sdk-january-2026

    Out of those 5 priorities it’s listed last, and the current blog post is about number 2, so assuming they are in development order, having a Linux drive app before Christmas seems like a 50/50 chance.

      What are the other priorities? Because to me, being able to search your inbox from the mobile app should be in the top…(content search, not just subject).

        From the link in my comment:

        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.

        I guess this only covers Drive and not Mail
