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.

It isn't as good as smart sync, but I have had a lot of luck with selective sync. It's available in preferences on linux, and lets you select folders to be not available on the device. The files won't be visible at all on the system, but the most important thing for me has been that the files don't take up space.
