I'm playing with it. This is cool. I can't wait for SFTP support. (I know that is difficult for a myriad of reasons, but that's also why it would be so rad. Don't be afraid to assist it using SSH POSIX commands like find when they're available and compliant. There's no prize for SFTP implementation purity.)

Does the File Provider integration support block-level random access? Like, if I have a 1 GB .mp4 video, does it need to download the full video file before playback? This has always been one of the tricky scenarios for high-level OS file APIs.

It does not stream in content, but I would guess the API might support that some day.
the search feature does not seem to work. the web page shows an animation of typing a search into a drop down dialog box. When I install the trial, it does not allow me to enter anything here. Searching from the MacOS finder is very very slow. I have tried ExpanDrive in the past, and had to give it up for this reason... searching a mounted cloud drive is just too slow
