As a #2 person, when my level-of-current-knowledge hits a ceiling and I ask for technical advice in forums or lemmy or even social media, it often comes from a #1 person.
Assuming its specialized knowledge few other #2 have.
Half the time I get an answer (about what and how) AND background explanation (giving context and WHY).
But half the other time a #1 doesnt realize easy things for them are hard for me. When they are miles ahead their answer assumes I have a host of other skills already in place. But I dont know what I don’t know so I dont ask for them.
But … every answer from a helpfull stranger is appreciated. Just bridging knowledge is hard.
Is “choosing which files and folders” an upfront configuration thing, or does it happen “on the fly” when opening a file?
It’s a type of integration with local file handling:
I use it to connect to rather large folders (bigger then my SSD) because it only takes up space of the files in use.
I deleted my comments seeing the ending side note about NC.
Does the MacOS NC app do files-on-demand?

One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can “free space”, meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.
Did you over engineer? Yes! Also: this is very cool!!
I was a Windows 2000 fan in the Windows Millenium period.
No need, I am on Enterprise.
I’m really annoyed by this, thanks for verifying. Still bound to a employer laptop which uses Win11 in a Microsoft collaboration setting but eager to learn how to turn it off.
Is this for Home edition and Enterprise as well? 🤔
For my family my setup slightly different for reasons in other comments:
Now do support for Notepad++ plugins and language linting 😁😎😂
Without a source I assume its hardware based. ;)
Thanks everybody, I learned a ton these 2 days. Like a ’ jump’ in understanding. Not only the specific answer to my concrete question but also on a conceptual level as well.
The thing that makes Linux next level for me now is the extra ‘abstraction layer’.
Thing is, for me, digital files always were as tangible as the analog object they represent. A digital document is as ‘real’ as a paper document. An email as real as a letter. But untill now files where ‘real’ digital artefacts. And thats … a bit different with ‘virtual’ files, sort of.
Anyway, new concepts to explore which is great!
Yep, I learned they have ‘portals’ for file-managing on their own.
Or its just miniturisation in contexts without a separate phone (aka IoT)?
