As a light user of the drive, I find that Proton Drive is clearly the worst product from Proton. I use the office-focused functions very little, but I really find that the photo part is quite lacking.
On one hand, the transfer speed is quite slow, and on the other, the functions are extremely limited. Between the inconvenient interface, no search options, no folders, no information on the exif metadata, etc…
Moreover, I think that even if the storage space for photos should be allocated from the drive’s storage, it is necessary to create a separate application dedicated to the photo gallery. It is not natural to have to click on a file logo of the Proton Drive app to access your gallery.
In the meantime, I will stick with ente.io because it is the only truly convincing alternative to Google Photos in terms of features, compatibility, speed, and simplicity…
A Linux client is not even on the roadmap?
No, not within roughly 6 months I guess.

Did you eventually change to an alternative? If so, what was your choice?

That’s incredibly disappointing. Vote here to signal the importance of a Linux client for Proton Drive. A Linux client is currently the top feature request for Proton Drive that has not yet been implemented.
Wow a second Mac app. Cool cool cool. No issues. All good here on Linux. No worries we are cool.
Still waiting on a Synology NAS app ☹️
