    Nextcloud supports webdav, which you can just mount as a virtual filesystem either with GVFS or some KIO slave. AFAIR there is a fuse implementation as well.

    For your single application a Windows VM may be suitable. Maybe even on some remote system in your company cloud. Single application forwarding is a long established technique.

    For IrfanView itself I don’t know the capabilities, so can’t advise on it.

      Most folks using irfanview started using it as an image viewer 10-15 years ago and never gave native ones on other OSes a chance. Maybe there’s an obscure format it supports but honestly I’ve actually found others to support more.

        Personally, I found Irfanview with Ghostscript to be the easiest way to turn multipage color PDFs into single page black and white tiffs with a simple repeatable script. I don’t know if there’s a better way to do that now, but I don’t have to anymore.

        As to just viewing images, it wasn’t even all that much better than windows viewer at the time. It really shined as a lightweight image manipulator.
