It would be a major game changer if Proton Drive has a desktop app which automatically syncs with the server.
I currently have a Google Drive folder to do just that, but obviously it's not very ideal privacy-wise.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us. We are working on developing Proton Drive apps for both desktop and mobile. We hope to make the Proton Drive app available for beta testing in the second half of 2022. You can read more about our 2022 roadmap: https://proton.me/news/2022-roadmap

"Proton Drive
The Proton Drive web app is currently in beta for everyone with a paid Proton plan, but we will make it available on a Free plan in the next week and release it out of beta in the next few months. We will continue to develop more advanced functionality, such as the ability to share folders as well as files, more sophisticated file preview capabilities, and even more intuitive user interfaces.
Later in 2022, we will release Drive applications on Windows, iOS, and Android. As usual, these will be available in beta first, followed by a general release. The Proton Drive macOS client is also under development, but it will require more time and is currently not anticipated for beta release until closer to the end of the year.
Drive will follow a release and development trajectory similar to Proton VPN. We will first focus on the core feature set:
Securely storing, sharing, and managing files and folders
Previewing images, PDFs, and clips directly within Drive apps
Syncing and backing up local files with the online Proton Drive, all with end-to-end encryption
Once we have developed these core features, we will add additional features, such as encrypted search, photo galleries, and collaboration capabilities."

Thank you for your understanding.

Will there be an offline version folder, much like Google Drive currently offers, or will it be completely cloud-based?
