Hi everyone,

We understand that every second counts and we continue our work on making the processes in our apps faster. The Proton Mail app for iOS is now better integrated with Proton Calendar so you can be more productive when managing your events. 

🗓️ Our new calendar event summary widget not only shows the event info in all emails that contain invites, but also allows you to confirm or reject your attendance with a single tap. 

Download the app here, and let us know what you think: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/proton-mail-encrypted-email/id979659905

Still waiting for the Linux Drive client.

Doesn't help to post that to every thread which is something different than drive though. Separate teams working on separate products and platforms.

It's all I care about, unfortunately.

I want Proton to succeed simply on an ideological basis, but myself and a lot of other people are being severely hampered by this lack of functionality on the Linux desktop, which is ironic given that this is where the privacy-centric user base lives. As a customer of both Proton Unlimited and Proton Business, I don't feel taken care of, and almost all the alternatives have some functional, easy to use drive sync functionality on Linux, on top of letting me use the cloud calendar locally.

I'm slowly migrating away from Proton Business use towards hosted mail + NextCloud as it did not meet my needs at all for a 90% Linux desktop use case, but I hope to revisit it in the future.
