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.
rclone has a UI, or rather, it works with the file manager such as nautilus.
Yes exactly. So can someone explain exactly how you would rclone/through the file manager with Dropbox? I'm assuming you cant open/edit files and then save them directly from the rclone/dropbox directory and instead you need to copy the file to locate directory, edit/save it, and then copy and overwrite back to the rclone/dropbox location so it syncs again. Is this correct or can you open/edit/save the file directly with rclone???
I'm also on my way out of Dropbox because of this (really bad overall Linux support). This is my final year on a paid Dropbox plan (after a decade). I won't renew. There are both other cloud storage options these days that are both more affordable and have better Linux support.
