Is there a way to add a “Upload Only” folder with the Desktop Client? I see only a 2-way-sync option. I dont want to sync the file, which are already existing at the server, to a client, only upload new files. I dont care about deletes.
The actual use case is, that i want to upload my Screenshots to a dedicated folder.
Since you didn’t specify which desktop client you use, I’m assuming you’re using the only truly usable operating system in the world - Linux.
The answer is no, the Desktop Client can’t do what you want. But rsync in combination with a WebDav-Mount-Point can do the job.
Yes of course Linux. Arch in my case. Never used anything else in the last 7 years. The computer at work doesn’t count here 
I hate it to use W11…
Many thx for the feedback. Then i try to setup something with rsync or rclone.
BTW: In some screenshots, i see that there are “Virtual Files” are an option. Is this only the case for the Windows Client?
I don’t have any clue about the windows client. You may also try the FolderSync Desktop-Client. Myself don’t use it on Linux but Android. On Android it is possible to make one direction sync’s with Nextcloud-Server.
But i use for one direction sync’s rsync (ssh) as cronjob and a local WebDav-Mountpoint on my Nextcloud-Sever. This works fine with Public-Key-Authentification in a cronjob.
I’ve never tried it, but I guess an rclone mount should work: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/
I have simply created a systemd path unit, which monitor my screenshot folder. If a new file is added, it triggers the service file, which start a rclone copy session, where only new files are uploaded to the nextcloud share. Quick and Dirty, but it seems to work.
BTW: FolderSync Pro at least on Android is really good. I haven’t ordered a license for Desktop yet. Maybe i do that later.
Windows and Mac. Not for Linux AFAIK.
