Free up space on Mac client

Hello
How can I:

  • upload a file through the MacOS client
  • free up the space it takes (delete it locally, leave only a “placeholder” just like Google Drive or OneDrive or Dropbox does it)

I am not able to upload big directories through WebDAV or through the Web interface cause it always uploads the folder structure but no files…

ALSO I am not able to work on my projects directly from the Nextcloud sync folder cause sometimes I just want to upload something from an external drive and leave it backed up on my nextcloud.

I am thinking I should use Get powerful WebDAV client for Mac users | Commander One – maybe it will be better?? Please give me an advice. Thanks!!!

Thank you for your help

The virtual file sync should be available for macOS as well:
