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.

Like the rest in this thread, I really would like to see Selective Sync (or, in my case Smart Sync) added to the linux client port. I'd like to emphasize this request: Linux isn't just a "geek" OS choice anymore. Since mid 2018, Windows 10 has suffered security and operational faults more and more frequently. Starting in late 2019, many businesses are moving to Linux distros on staff desktop machines; and with the increasing market for US$100-$300 Linux laptops from Dell, Lenovo, Pine64 and other smaller brands, these are beginning to show up in real workplaces. Dropbox is the best commercial cloud storage that I've used. But I agree with other commenters here: If one of the other major commercial cloud providers offers a Linux client that includes "Smart Sync", I'm outa here.
