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.

Welcome to the Dropbox community; no one cares for linux users.

Yeah seems like.
Although I am pretty sure they aren't using windows server or mac servers nor any server which is not Linux Kernel based so they are sucks to not support the very system they are relying on.
Also it is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT as Hypersphere said it right:
Nevertheless, I do agree that if a given application, such as Dropbox, is going to claim cross-platform support for Linux, MacOS, and Windows, ideally the application ought to have the same features across all supported platforms.

Again I see that a message is marked as solved, but it is not. It just points to the old selective folder setup where you do not see the files you have not synced. This is *not* solved.
