I received the email this morning from Proton announcing improvements to Drive speed, and they just happened to tuck this in there:

... It also allowed us to focus on deeper integration with the rest of the Proton ecosystem (such as Drive in Lumo) and support for a Linux client, which we're now actively building.

Glad I won't have to continue using my cobbled together Syncthing solution much longer.

Here's the full email for anyone interested, seems the announcement isn't on their website yet.

Dear Proton community member,

A faster, more powerful Proton Drive is here, giving you smoother access, stronger protection, and more control over your files.

Proton Drive is up to 3x faster

We rebuilt Proton Drive around a single, shared engine that now powers uploading, downloading, and encryption across all our apps. Uploads are up to 3x faster and downloads up to 2x faster, plus smoother scrolling and quicker loading in Photos. It also allowed us to focus on deeper integration with the rest of the Proton ecosystem (such as Drive in Lumo) and support for a Linux client, which we're now actively building.

Faster, stronger encryption

Your files stay end-to-end encrypted — that hasn't changed, and never will. But that happens more efficiently now. We've adopted a cryptographic advance in the OpenPGP standard, cutting encryption time for new file uploads by up to 4x.

More control over who can manage your shared files

When you share a file or folder, you can already choose Viewer or Editor access. Now you can also decide whether an Editor can manage sharing on your behalf — inviting others, changing permissions, or removing access. To keep that control for yourself only, open the share's Settings and toggle off access.

More power and flexibility across Proton Drive

Alongside the updates above, we’ve continued improving Proton Drive across platforms, making it easier to automate workflows, browse shared files, manage syncing, and work more efficiently.

• The Proton Drive CLI is now available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, so you can script uploads, downloads, and sharing from your terminal. 
• Grid view is now available on public Proton Drive links, making shared photo folders much easier to browse.
• On the Windows desktop app, you can now pause syncing for a few hours or until the next day, and Proton Drive automatically resumes so you don't forget to turn it back on.
• A new encrypted cache stores your 500 most recently viewed thumbnails, so albums you've already browsed load instantly the next time.
• Proton Sheets now supports custom currency, number, and date/time formats, alongside bug fixes and reliability improvements.

Protecting your privacy is our priority. Follow us on X for the latest feature releases, privacy news, and security tips. Join the discussion on Reddit for insights directly from our team, and share your ideas on UserVoice to help shape Proton’s future.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay secure,
