I'm on macOS 11.0.1. My Arduino IDE is installed in /Applications, my Arduino sketchbook path is /Volumes/Daten/myuser/Documents/Programmierung/Arduino. I added the ESP8266 support via board manager.
After unpacking the ZIP from https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/releases/tag/0.3.0 to /Volumes/Daten/myuser/Documents/Programmierung/Arduino/tools/ and restarting the IDE the menu item ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload was displayed. Clicking it gives the following error (and nothing more, that's the only content of the console):
SPIFFS Error: esptool not found!
I then tried two different locations to unpack the ZIP to:
/Volumes/Daten/myuser/Documents/Arduino (as mentioned in the README
/Volumes/Daten/myuser/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266 because I thought the ESPTool should be placed somewhere there
UPDATE:
I now tried https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/releases/tag/0.4.0 and unpacked it to /Volumes/Daten/myuser/Documents/Programmierung/Arduino/tools/. With this the IDE is doing some stuff, that's the output of the console:
