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.

Goog morning.

 

Another paying customer needing support for smart sync in Linux (Ubuntu / Elementary). Information about wether the company has plans to implement this feature or not should be nice to make a decission.

 

Thank you
