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?
I use both MacOS and Ubuntu 18.04, and Smart Sync is a much better option than Selective Sync. However, it is not available in Ubuntu. Please invest some extra energy to support it on Linux OS. Thanks
dropbox client on linux is a [profanity removed by moderation according to the Community Guidelines] show. with increased competition from apple, microsoft, and google.. i don't see why dropbox doesnt play to its (previously) cross-platform strength. Frustratingly, they're are gonna go down the path that box did and play the enterprise collaboration gig with shared docs, tools, etc. and end up in the same situation. sigh. And this is the company guido works for? yech. not gonna keep sending them my money if these shenanigans keep going.
Would it work using Wine?
Has anyone tried this?
Yes, please add smart sync for linux. Where is the upvote button?

Figured I'd leave a comment to show support for the thread: I'm a Linux-only, Dropbox-only, and new Dropbox Pro subscriber. Please give me access to all of the features that I'm currently paying for. ;(
Side note: congrats on the Python3 migration. Down with Python2!
Been tracking this thread for months. Very annoyed. Paid customer for at least 5 years, linux customer for 3.
Happy to report pCloud has a beautiful interface for linux and all the features of dropbox, including smartsync.
