Nextcloud works that way for me. I access my Nextcloud files at ~/nextcloud without any hitch, and changes sync immediately. You do have to self-host, but I’m sure there are also some public instances you can use. I know Disroot hosts one.
Currently we have an experimental VFS feature on all platforms that is using some suffix appended to files when they are virtual empty placeholders.

Yeah, no thanks. It’s a very hacky work-around and breaks the moment you use an application that tries to access the files directly.
Oh you mean without downloading the files. I thought you just meant cloud sync. Yeah I have my entire Nextcloud downloaded and the folder is synced by the daemon, so I do just use the files as normal local files. Never tried without downloading all the files
My (self-hosted) cloud storage is larger than the disk drive on my laptop. On demand sync is important to me. I really, really hope Linux will catch up to Windows in that regard.
