When will online-only files work on Linux?

[edugsdf]

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?

Ci saranno anche molte versioni di linux ma non mi sembra ci sia un'unica versione di Android ... sarebbe già molto utile che su linux permettessero la stessa funzionalità delle app android.

Has anyone tried to run Dropbox via Docker? Smart Sync works via Docker?

Other toughts:
Sync.com says a Linux version is on their plans. They have a similar Smart Sync...

Buongiorno,

avrei veramente necessità di poter utilizzare la funzione "risparmia automaticamente spazio su disco rigido" anche su PC Linux.

Tale funzione disponibile su windows (per i piani a pagamento) è un vero peccato oltre che una scomodità non poterla utilizzare.

Inutile sentirsi dire dal supporto tecnico di utilizzare la "Sincronizzazione selettiva" in quanto è tutta un'altra cosa.

Basterebbe che i PC linux potessero accedere alle cartelle come avviene per la app Android (sempre a base linux, tra l'altro).
Spero vivamente sia una funzione in arrivo perché utilizzando diversi PC Linux mi vedrei costretto a cercare altri sistemi di archiviazione.

Cordiali saluti

I find it quite amazing that a feature like Smart-Sync has not made it to Linux, while it has been in the other Dropbox clients literally for years.

I'd really hate to have to move to another solution just because the high-ups at Dropbox deem their Linux user base too insignificant to warrant porting Smart-Sync over to the Linux client.

Come on Dropbox! what on earth are you thinking leaving online mode out of the Linux version!!??? Seriously, like, what are you doing? Put in into your agenda for Mondays meeting right now!

Hi Dropbox, im after a clear answer here and hoping you can help not just me, but everyone who comes to this thread.

Will Dropbox ever support the online-only mode!!?? I can not for the life of me understand how this has not been implemented over the years, especially when we are paying for large storage plans, theres just no way we can fully sync to our systems, its a massive oversight.

Can we please have this brought to the front of your attention Dropbox? Can you please at least bring it up in a meeting?
