Since it doesn't look like Nextcloud will ever address this method, does anyone have any real world experience and thoughts on Nextcloud's other methods of accessing offsite storage?
Specifically: while using human readable paths and filenames.
This is from Nextcloud's site, and it gives me hope.......
Any storage technology you need
Some of the storage technologies supported in Nextcloud include NFS and local storage as well
as scalable, multi-bucket capable object storage like S3 and SWIFT compatible and
CIFS/Windows Shares. Nextcloud can also seamlessly access files on (s)FTP, SharePoint
systems and more.
Thanks!
