Is there any myCloud desktop app (client) for Linux? I believe I have seen some posts here from Linux users complaining about the lack of desktop app for Linux. I wanted to be sure this is a (sad) reality -- and we would have to resort on alternative services.

@"Chudolauck95"#1267255 No, unfortunately there is still no MyCloud Desktop App for Linux🤷. And if it is planned, Swisscom doesn't communicate before it is available.

That's sad @"Gaeilgeoir"#872562! I also suppose there is no "workaround" or alternative client (e.g. OneCloud/NextCloud) that can connect and sync data to Swisscom MyCloud?

@"Chudolauck95"#1267255 As far as I know, no, I'm sorry.

Thank you @"Gaeilgeoir"#872562! It's sad 😞

@"Chudolauck95"#1267255 Hello With all these existing versions Most Popular Linux Distributions Android Arch Linux CentOS Debian Elementary OS Fedora Linux Gentoo Linux Kali Linux Linux Lite Linux Mint Manjaro Linux MX Linux openSUSE Pop!\_OS Puppy Linux Slackware Solus SUSE Ubuntu and all its versions (Gnome, Kubuntu, based on KDE Plasma Desktop, Ubuntu MATE, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc.) Zorin OS With all the different versions, it's not possible to create a specific program with a very high cost for each version.

@"Doremi"#241709 Exactly and beside of that, I think the number of LINUX users in Switzerland is very limited, the vast majority uses Windows or MacOS based operating systems.

Thank you both @"Doremi"#241709 and @"Gaeilgeoir"#872562 for your contribution. While I could see that the majority of Swisscom clients in Switzerland would probably not use Linux, I wouldn't necessarily agree with @"Doremi"#241709's argument about prohibitive the development and maintenance costs of a Linux client. Firstly, like many other cloud providers (e.g., Dropbox, NextCloud, OwnCloud,...) Swisscom may start by targeting only the three most popular distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian). Second, as a software engineer, I believe nowadays it is not that difficult to develop cross-platform programs. In fact, I believe the existing Mac client should be easily portable to Linux. I am personally dissatisfied that I have to use Dropbox instead of Swisscom myCloud (and accept that my data is stored outside Switzerland), simply because I do not use Mac or Windows.

@"Chudolauck95"#1267255 This is not just the development, a platform also has to be maintained, which requires staff, etc. The question is, as always, is the resulting revenue worth the effort? Like Sunrise or Salt, Swisscom is a provider that tends to serve the mass market, and not just for the cloud, but also for other products. This is disappointing for users of these more specialised applications, but unfortunately cannot be changed.

This is the very reason, why I am not using this service. By the way, on the download page, there seems to be no download link at all at the moment. [https://desktop.mycloud.ch/?lang=en](https://desktop.mycloud.ch/?lang=en)

@"Gaeilgeoir"#p795095 es gibt immer weniger Anreiz Swisscom Produkte zu benutzen mycloud ist auch nicht abwärts kompatibel zu gar nicht so alten Android Versionen, denke das ist gewollt. Auch auf meinem Windows Rechner W10 ist es mir nicht möglich meine Bilder zum sicheren herunter zu laden, nach paar Sekunden kommt die Fehler Meldung!

@"Sewumoth42"#p860972 Also mit Linux kann man über den Internet-Browser MyCloud öffnen und so seine Daten Hoch-und runterladen.
