About:
Nextcloud Virtual Files integrates directly with the native OS file explorer, allowing users to see and access their cloud files without using local disk space. Files are streamed on-demand when opened, keeping the local drive lean while ensuring full access to the cloud data. It provides seamless synchronization for the Nextcloud platform.
Key Features:
  • On-demand file streaming to save local disk space
  • Native integration with Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder
  • Smart sync controls for specific folders or files
  • Background synchronization for real-time data availability
Use Cases:
  • Managing large cloud storage libraries on devices with limited SSD capacity
  • Collaborating on projects by accessing specific files without full directory downloads
  • Archiving old data in the cloud while keeping it easily accessible via the file system
Alternatives:
  • Dropbox Smart Sync – Similar virtual file functionality, but tied to the Dropbox ecosystem rather than Nextcloud.
  • OneDrive Files On-Demand – Native Windows feature for Microsoft cloud storage, offering comparable disk-saving capabilities.
