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.

Edit:

Nextcloud does have proper virtual file sync. Only limitation is you can’t make files availble offline via the context menu and instead need to set up manual folder syncs

Edit 2:

You need to grab the release from https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases/tag/v3.13.0

Specifically the vfs version Nextcloud-3.13.0-macOS-vfs.pkg

    MountainDuck supports this. They call it “cache on demand”. So you could setup an SFTP connection and use it via that. The next version of MountainDuck - v5 - should even support SMB.

      $40 is a bit on the steep side though… I would have bought it instantly for $10.

      I wonder if finally would be possible to have decent SMB browsing speeds when there are thousands of directories on a non-apple SMB server, as the system file browser checks all the subdirectories for resource forks.

      At work the guy that insisted for a Mac takes 3+ minutes to load the main share with 10k directory, while on windows/Linux is instant.

    Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

    Fewer Letters More Letters
    NAS Network-Attached Storage
    SFTP Secure File Transfer Protocol for encrypted file transfer, over SSH
    SMB Server Message Block protocol for file and printer sharing; Windows-native
    SSD Solid State Drive mass storage
