Alright, everyone loves Filerun. And I set it up and I think that I
agree. But,

I'm struggling to find the best mac client! Filerun lists several and
provides some opinions on many of them
[https://docs.filerun.com/webdav](https://docs.filerun.com/webdav) but
I'm on my 4th one at this point.

The key feature that I want is "smart sync" like Dropbox or Google
Drive. So it's like lazy 2-way sync. As I browse around, it would
dynamically download any file that I open, and then cache it for a
while. If I write a new file it will upload it and keep it around, but
maybe if I don't touch it for a few months then it will silently
remove it from my local device. (basically lazy-syncing with an LRU
cache)

You can use either Nextcloud or Owncloud desktop sync apps:

Yeah, for some reason I was only looking at WebDav apps and not the
superior NextCloud or Owncloud apps. You're right, I think those are
better. I started using the Nextcloud one late last night and I'm
pretty happy with it so far. It isn't perform but it seems quite good.
