I don’t think it can do selective syncing. I’ve been also searching for a similar solution but didn’t find one. Finally opted for syncthing with my most important files. Other files I can get them via web using filestash.
Comment on File server with on-demand sync, preserve the filesystem, and runs without external DB?

Owncloud supports selective sync, and seems a lot better for performance compared to Nextcloud.
Alternatively you could roll your own with rclone which is essentially an open source alternative to mountain duck.

Non-OCIS Owncloud still needs a dedicated database and recommend against SQLite in prod
I’ve looked at rclone mounting with the --vfs-cache-* flags. But I’m not sure how it can smart sync like mountain duck or handle conflicts elegantly like the Nextcloud/Owncloud clients do. Let me know how to set it up that way if possible
