Hi all
I have tried to find how to install virtual files for windows, but cannot find anything that recent. Could anyone advise how I can do this.
Many thanks
Gerry
If I understand what your asking you need the NC app desktop from here
On the Windows NC client, you want to go to settings enable virtual file support in the settings. Then you should have virtual file support same as “ONEDRIVE” folders etc.
You will have a Nextcloud file system showing in the file explorer etc etc.
Hope this helps and this is assuming I understand your question correctly.
You might have to setup your file sharing part before the settings virtual option is there.
Setup a dummy folder or something without a bunch of stuff in the cloud. Just pick from the cloud a folder to sync to local system like a folder with one file in it or something.
Then the virtual file option should be in the client settings.

Thank you and @jtr I am already using NC on a Mac, and they now have a Virtual Files option, whereby you don’t need a copy of the files from the NC server on the local machine. see https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/discussions/6656
My question is is there similar for Windows?. @claucambra
Yes. VFS was available on Windows in the standard installation before similar functionality was implemented for macOS. It’s there already.
That’s why I linked to the docs.
