Hi guys do you guys know any selfhosted cloud solution that has a combined sync and filestream option?
Context when you use seafile on macos there is seadrive (mounts external cloud like a drive) and seafile sync which syncs files to local folders. The problem is the two clients sort of act seperatly from one other (you cant make seadrive make files offline for instance neither can you preview files in seafile sync).
By contrast onedrive and google drive both have client apps which can sync on demand (file stream) and optionally make files available offline with a simple right click in context menu.
Side note I have tried nextcloud on mac but its experimental mount mode just keeps a placeholder .nextcloud file.
Unfortunatly like syncthing nextcloud mac app also has the same file extension sync issue (they use .nextcloud).
Is that still the case for the Nextcloud macOS client? Because this post from the devs from a few months ago implies that the .nextcloud file extension behaviour is temporary and that they’re meant to be using Apple’s File Provider API, same way that Dropbox and OneDrive do.

This is how it shows up for me on Nextcloud desktop client 3.13.0
Looks like that feature is still in beta and therefore only available in the beta client. The stable release still uses the .nextcloud extension workaround.
