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.
Dear All, I am using Dropbox in Windows, Mac, and have just installed it in Linux (Pop!OS).
I am trying to find the option of having "all files as online only", but cannot find it.. has anyone got any experience in it? I wonder whether there are different versions of Dropbox installation downloaded from the Linux repository stores -and whether I've somehow got a version that doesn't offer such an option (despite oferring it to Windows & Mac)..
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Christos

Hi Christos K., I hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting here!
At the moment, the ability to make your files only is only available on Windows and Mac devices, but not on Linux.
I hope this clarifies!
- Hi Megan, thank you for the answer. Is there any visibility (or any way I can get notified) on when we may see this function (set up at Preferences all files as “online only”) coming also into Linux? Very grateful. Kind regards, Christos.

Hi Christos K., we don't have an ETA at the moment, but we'll make sure to update this thread, when we do.
I hope this helps!
