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.

Same here: As a business advanced admin I can not currently deploy DB in a manner that helps us on linux. Having about 2TB of data available and shared forces me to support people while fiddeling around with selective sync on-per-user basis and myself for every request or work with the inefficient web interface.
For now the only thing working is to rely on nearly unmaintained OSS FUSE implementations or fiddle around with rclone/user services.
I know linux can be a hassle on the UI side, but please at least provide a fully featured service that is configurable through files/service.d or whatever. there is still no way to create transfers, share files with advanced features (like passwords) and all that "newer" stuff. No paper integration into the client, notifications not working. Same goes for multiple accounts.
Some kind of feature parity would be really nice. Right now its just a website with a sync client that does the bare minimum to exist.
