You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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.
This thread is marked "Solved" but it's not -
SmartSync is NOT available on Linux, despite me being a paying customer, and hundreds of posts here over years asking when it will be available.
The thread is NOT solved.
When will SmartSync be available? Is it in the works?
How about a partial refund for features not available?
I also need smart sync for linux! Can you please implement it?
Im also a paying customer for at least 5 years.. When we will receive the same treatment as other platforms? You just implemented it for Mac!!
+1 Just signed up as a paying customer mainly to use SmartSync and then found out it's not available for Linux. Please add. Will likely cancel my paid subscription since I use Linux for most things.
If someone would create an alternate Dropbox client for Linux that provides Smart Sync like behaviour, would you be interested? Please like / +1 this post if you would be willing to back such a project on Kickstarter with at least $99. (Would be released as open source both to make sure it can be shipped by Linux distros and to establish hopefully long-term community maintenance. Kickstarter campaign would not start before there's a working prototype, so total failure of delivery would be unlikely). Asking for a friend.
