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.

Registered just to give this an upvote. Got a paid plan for three reasons: - more space than the free one - more than 3 machines (I got already several before this restriction came, so could not get any additional box without disconnecting several others) - smart sync. The last point and my laziness (I already used Dropbox free) were the reasons for choosing Dropbox over Google. Now found that smart sync does not work on half of the machines. Once my subscription expires (unfortunately I got an annual plan) I'll see if I stay here or move to google - no decent linux support I'll have there as well, but at least they don't advertise cross-platform and have more diverse options for space.
