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.

I've been using cloud storage services only for small documents mainly because I don't feel quite satisfied with the speed of Rclone. Then I discovered the Dropbox client for Linux, which can utilise my full bandwidth almost all the time. So naturally I started considering subscribing to Dropbox so that I can move some of my photos and videos from my local NAS to Dropbox however the disk usage then certainly became a concern. I haven't got several teras just lurking around in my laptop and Selective Sync is obviously not an optimal solution.
Since this feature has already been implemented on Windows and macOS so I guess to bring it to Linux, it won't even require much change on the server side, only on the client side. Come on, Dropbox, just one step away from winning me over :)
