Virtual Filesystem for Nextcloud Linux client is now available in beta! This is a huge step!
So you can see all the folders and files in your local file browser, but files are only really downloaded when you open them.
This is already possible on Windows and macOS, now finally coming to Linux.
It was said that when you unstall the latest release you can choose the VFS option, which is off by default, because it is currently in beta.
Based on openVFS
Thank you for working on this, everyone involved!
