I have a NodeMCU ESP8266 ESP-12E and I tried uploading a file thru the SPIFFS. I am not sure why I see OTA instead of the SPIFFS?
Is there a configuration that I missed?

instructables.com/Using-ESP8266-SPIFFS/?amp_page=true not sure but check this . It may not help – xbox gamer Oct 29 '20 at 5:39

maximum application size is less then 1 MB. so there is no other use for the rest of the flash then FS. for board you selected there is no predefined partitioning without OTA. what is your question? – Juraj Oct 29 '20 at 6:42

In this link cdn.instructables.com/ORIG/FST/OP12/IZT6TEBJ/… it is showing SPIFFS but in my Arduino IDE it is showing OTA? Why is this so? That is my question – Mark Estrada Oct 29 '20 at 8:36

Yes please refer to my answer and that is because he is using an older version of the package and arduino – xbox gamer Oct 29 '20 at 8:53
SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System) is also know as FS(File system) . so What you are seeing as FS is basically SPIFFS .The OTA partition on esp8266 is compulsory so you cant get rid of it .
Hope this helps

the question was that the menu doesn't show SPIFFS but FS and OTA. a good answer should contain why it is so. – Juraj Oct 29 '20 at 9:45
