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.

It's setup without Graphical User Interface (GUI) - without head 😁
Dropbox application is the same actually and can work in both modes. When GUI comes up on application launch, it's used, otherwise GUI is ignored.

So your saying smart sync works as it is but only through Terminal and not through the GUI ?
Do you need to permenantly disable the Dropbox GUI for this to work?

Where you see it? 🧐 Who told you this? Those things are completely unrelated! I just gave to you answer to your question; don't imply anything else.

On your last question - NO!

There is no way to do it on your own, in spite it's meaningless! The application does it automatically, as I noted before.

The thread is specifically about 'smart sync'.
What are you talking about then and why bother?
