I'm working on a cross-platform application that needs to access file attributes, specifically for files and directories in sync drives like OneDrive. On Windows, I use the GetFileInformationByHandle API to retrieve attributes such as FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_DATA_ACCESS and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_OPEN to identify files that are stored remotely or in the cloud.
Is there an equivalent API or mechanism on macOS to achieve the same? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to:
Identify attributes similar to cloud/offline storage status for files in synced drives (e.g., OneDrive, iCloud Drive). Retrieve metadata to distinguish files/folders stored locally versus those stored remotely and downloaded on access.
If there’s a preferred macOS framework (like Core Services or FileManager in Swift) for such operations, examples would be greatly appreciated!
