@nickcreates - is there any way to get this working with Dropbox Pro accounts?
Edit: More asking if it's in the pipeline to work with Dropbox Pro eventually.
@lashandias@nickcreates Same here. I asked their support chat, and they said there is no plan for Pro users yet, which I find ridiculous why they wouldn't include this much anticipated feature for paying Pro users. I don't require the team features, but Smart Sync would be very beneficial to me. It isn't worth paying an extra ~$110/yr for me though :(
@chad_fullerton@lashandias@nickcreates What a bunch of dirtbags! I pay for my DropBox account but now they're only going to roll out high profile features for business? Guess it's time to start evaluating other options again.
@burtbrumme@lashandias@nickcreates Ya, that's how a lot of Pro account users seem to be feeling from what I see on Twitter. Feeling snubbed. Was really looking forward to this long awaited feature! Will have to wait and see if they hopefully add it for Pro users soon.
On a positive note: Harry McCracken reports for Fast Company that Dropbox said it ‘is actively considering how to roll the feature out to consumers’. So maybe they are holding out to try and convert people to Business accounts? Not the nicest of strategies for Pro users. I can see not giving it to Free users, but Pro accounts which are paying for the service should get the feature IMHO.
Takes up basically no space until you want to access your files!
Good for big teams and lots of docs/folders
Also, Dropbox being rapid to $1BN Rev Run Rate!
Rebranded Infinite. "Starting today, Smart Sync is available for all Dropbox Business teams through our early access program. We’re also exploring ways to bring it to individual users in the future. Learn more at dropbox.com/smartsync."
Bummer that Business accounts have a minimum 5 user baseline, which makes it much more expensive for a Pro user to upgrade to Business. $750/yr for smart sync isn't worth it :(
Has anyone clarified if SmartSync is still making changes at a deeper OS level like Project Infinite? I'm not thrilled about giving Dropbox privileged access to any part of my OS - especially for a proprietary/unaudited piece of software.

I don't need unlimited space.. I need the space I currently pay for and this feature. I have been a PAYING customer since almost the beginning. This should be for everyone or a paid upgrade for Pro users. I already pay for packrat so why not this. I am about to seek out other services because trying to figure out what is synced and not synced through an antiquated interface is super annoying.
