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.
Good evening
In my company we use Linux Mint at most computers and we need to enable smart sync at dropbox app.
Unfortunately, Dropbox smart sync cannot be used in Dropbox app at linux environments so i request dropbox developers to enable this feature for linux devices as soon as possible, as we are having problems with disk space at some computers.
I know we can use selective sync and i am already using it in my computer but it is not a suitable solution for most workers.
There is an increasing number of companies using linux environments in their computers so i think Dropbox should include linux environments in all their app developments.
We are quite satisfied with the linux app performance but smart sync is a key feature for us.
Thanks for your attention

I am a paid subscriber and using dropbox on mac and Linux simultaneously. Today, I found this new thread regarding the age-old issue of not having smart sync capability for Linux systems.
I was subscribed to the old thread created by someone in 2018.
Developers must intervene and provide this feature, at least to the paid subscription. It will be good enough if we can find this feature for ext4, xfs or btrfs file systems only. This will cover most installations of Linux and will be very helpful in managing our storage resources.
Please look into this issue.
