Comment on Dropbox’s Smart Sync lets users open a file stored only in the cloud like normal

Comments

Dropbox's first blog post about Smart Sync (aka Infinite) and discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11570888

What's happened since then? Is it that the project was announced back then and is now available to businesses, as predicted? Or is that it was available to businesses back then when announced, and will be available to individuals?

I haven't read both articles thoroughly, but two quotes from the articles will answer your questions:

Blog post: "Project Infinite will enable users to seamlessly and securely access all their Dropbox files from the desktop, regardless of how much space they have available on their hard drives."

This post: "Dropbox today released Smart Sync..."

So the blog post was a demo about feature in the future, while this article says it is already released.
