Nextcloud has both a selective synchronization client (which goes to a given _folder_ instead of a drive), and a network-share mount point via WebDAV (which can easily look like a “virtual drive” depending on your OS and desktop environment).

You might be interested in the [Accessing Nextcloud Files via WebDAV](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/user_manual/files/access_webdav.html) page of Nextcloud’s user manual, which describes how to connect in such a way, with varying instructions for your platform. Hope you enjoy Nextcloud, and that it meets your needs!

_Edit:_ There is now an [official Nextcloud virtual drive feature](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextcloud-introduces-virtual-drive-in-desktop-client-to-simplify-desktop-integration/46256?u=mactrent) in the works. As that becomes more broadly available, the above answer will be obsolete.
