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.

Hi everybody,

I just setup a Linux workstation and im surprised that the "online only" feature is missing, since it is definitely a keyfeature for Linux laptops.

Would appreciate to get this feature since, this is kind of a must-have for me.

    Have also been waiting for this feature for a while. I guess the good people at Dropbox can't be bothered to communicate about it, however.

      'Smart' is usually an oxymoron.  Dropbox is losing its raison d'etre if it is no-longer a universal solution- simply it is now broken.
