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.
I have been using Dropbox for almost 10 years now I think. I've always used it with Windows though, and the smart sync feature was basically essential for me, I store huge amount of source file for graphical stuff. I had to switch Linux recently and I can't believe a killer feature like this isn't available here. Looking at how this issue remains unsolved from 2018 it's crazy, and I think I'll be moving to some cheaper cloud storage as basically I see no reason to pay more for Dropbox in this case.
Yes, bizarre isn't it.
