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.

Pretty please: support Linux at parity with other platforms. I know it's a pain and expensive for such small market segment but it's the right thing to do!

    This thread is marked "Solved" but it's not -

     

    SmartSync is NOT available on Linux, despite me being a paying customer, and hundreds of posts here over years asking when it will be available.

     

    The thread is NOT solved.

     

    When will SmartSync be available?  Is it in the works?

     

    How about a partial refund for features not available?
