Like OneDrive for Windows or iCloud on MacOS. So files only her downloaded when needed and you can specify directories/files to be available offline.

Needs to integrate into nautilus context menu with the option to get a shareable link through that. Though Iโ€™m open to switching my file manager. Nextcloud can do it but the feature is experimental and every time I restart it just syncs everything again.

Gnome online accounts doesnโ€™t let you specify folders to be available offline. Onedriver is the same and Iโ€™d like to stop paying MS money. Plus neither integrate into nautilusโ€™ context menu.

Itโ€™s the one thing I really miss from win 11. Basically all folders I worked were synced and for a secondary backup I synced OneDrive to a NAS. My Cloud Storage is bigger than the available space on my machine. I could do insync with selective sync, it nautilus integration as well. But thatโ€™s just not as elegant as smart/on demand sync, having everything available in your file manager when you need it.

Maybe it was the lack of metadata? Iโ€™m not sure, itโ€™s been a while since I used it last. Iโ€™ll try to spin it up again and see how it does for my usecase now. I really only used it for file storage.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word โ€œLinuxโ€ in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
