Virtual files are "placeholder" for actual files and should in this regard behave like the original file. If you delete the original file its gone too?

As far as I know we never displayed a dilog, please reopen if I'm wrong.

In windows-10.0.19045, virtual files and virtual folders gets deleted from client as well as from server.

In ubuntu-6.2.0-33-generic, when .owncloud files are deleted, it gets added again, but virtual folder get deleted in both desktop client and server.

Suffix placeholders are broken by design.

Proper placeholders should behave like the actual file.

We could compare with other solutions. I think Dropbox, iCloud etc show warnings. Needs research…

.owncloud files are deprecated and will be removed in 7.0
