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'm also on my way out of Dropbox because of this (really bad overall Linux support). This is my final year on a paid Dropbox plan (after a decade). I won't renew. There are both other cloud storage options these days that are both more affordable and have better Linux support.

What's a great alternative with unlimited storage for 600 per year and Mac and Linux support?

Seems like this is something the people want, but the audience using Linux just doesn't even bother to comment anymore on SaaS forums because the devs don't listen anyways - and then the devs say "no one wants these Linux features" because no one really comments - because it's so disheartening. So adding my vote, because Linux really ought to be supported properly....

Yeah, Seems like no-ones listening to us.
