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.
Currently, Smart Sync is not available on the Linux platform.
From technical support:
There are some things that it is not possible to use when using the Dropbox client on Linux.
These are as follows:
- Camera Uploads
- Screenshot Uploads
- Two Accounts
- Custom Folder Icons for Shared Folders
- Smart Sync
- New Dropbox Desktop App
Given the increasing popularity of Linux and it's serious use in the business as well as the home environments, is it not time to escalate the requirement for a Linux client to a higher level?
Selective Sync is possible of course (with all of it's pitfalls for the unwary with volume data and minimal local disk capacity) but given the popularity of cloud based storage solutions, is it not time for Dropbox to embrace the initiative and move forward to compete more favourably with the big players in the home NAS market and «steal a march» on them?
