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.

It forced me to upgrade to this plan recently. Are you telling me that feature is not available? Isnt that a bit like stealing my money?

Yeah, it is totally baaaddd businesss and marketing and totally do not give back to the Linux community from where DropBox and other companies just Abusing the Power of Linux. USE Windows Server or Mac Server or UNIX server and stop using Linux on your server level DropBox or just simple become straight with that gave you the possibility to run your business on the level you are!!!!!
Unbelievable!!!! Still no solution on this!!!!!

Recently i switched from free to paid Dropbox account just for the Linux support and now i found that smart sync not working only in Linux! This has to be fixed, but i suspect no one is paying attention...

Yeah seems like.
Although I am pretty sure they aren't using windows server or mac servers nor any server which is not Linux Kernel based so they are sucks to not support the very system they are relying on.
Also it is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT as Hypersphere said it right:
Nevertheless, I do agree that if a given application, such as Dropbox, is going to claim cross-platform support for Linux, MacOS, and Windows, ideally the application ought to have the same features across all supported platforms.
