When will online-only files work on Linux?
I need to save space on my hard drive. Online-only files would be the perfect solution, but it still does not work on linux fedora.
When will we have this solution?

At the moment, Smart Sync is only available on Windows and Mac. Dropbox has made no announcement on its availability on Linux. They usually don't discuss timelines or upcoming features until they're reaady to announce them, so we likely won't know that it's coming until it's already here, assuming that it's coming at all.
Same here. I don't really need SmartSync. Selective Sync works, and that is more than enough for me. Currently, my Dropbox contains nearly 400 GB of data in over 23,000 folders and 462,000 files, but my 2TB drives are sufficient for this.
Soon, I anticipate needing to write much larger numbers of files while doing molecular dynamics simulations, but I can offload these to auxiliary backup disks.
Nevetheless, I have been relying on Dropbox for years to keep my 6 Linux and 7 Windows machines syncronized between two offices, and I certainly hope they do not abandon linux support.
