Online only storage option in Linux/Zorin/Ubuntu
I am in the process of moving completely away from all things Microsoft and building devices around Linux/Zorin systems. I rely a lot on Dropbox for cloud rather than local storage and am extremely disappointed to see that I cannot use the online only storage option in Zorin, thus my hard drive fills up before I can complete any synch and effectively rendering Dropbox useless to me. Yes, I can get there using a web browser but this is not an acceptable solution.
Is there a plan to provide this functionality in the very near future? If not then I fear that I'll have to sever our long standing relationship and find a solution that does work effectively with Linux.
Hi wendivad,
Thanks for sharing your idea. I just wanted to touch base with you yo let you know that unfortunately "Online Only" files are currently not possible for Linux/Ubuntu.
I'd suggest reading through this thread where I covered this exact subject recently.
I'm sorry I could not deliver better news. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.
