Looks really nice and seems like it should be a great foundation for future development. Personally I can’t lose Nextcloud until there are sufficiently featureful and reliable clients for Linux, Windows, Android that synchronize a local copy and help manage the inevitable file deconfliction (Nextcloud Desktop only barely qualifies at this, but it does technically qualify and that represents the minimum viable product for me). I’m not sure a WebDav client alone is enough to satisfy this criteria, but I am not going to pretend I am actually familiar with any WebDav clients so maybe they already exist.
I’ve tried several WebDav clients, and I’ve found that the great majority will work great. Their performance will depend on the server. For example, Nextcloud was slow. CopyParty was blazing fast, as if it was a local folder.
You might want to checkout CopyParty too, it’s UX/UI sucks, but you don’t need to see it, since you can use it with almost any client on any platform via any protocol.
Have you found any interesting clients or just “filezilla but for webdav” style ones?
I was also wondering if it will sync.
Mostly happy with syncthing, but open to trying new solutions.

Checkout opencloud, owncloud clients are compatible with it

Im using the android client no problem. Not sure about the the desktop ones, if you want I cant do some basic testing and report back, just let me know which clients

That is super kind of you!
I’m not sure which clients. I haven’t installed opencloud, because I didn’t see any clients for it on a cursory look. I tried nextcloud, but it kept failing after updates, so now I just use cron jobs to automate manual backup scripts I wrote to an external HDD. If you do test any desktop OC clients and find any “good enough” ones, I’ll start with it : ) and if you don’t get to test any, know that I still truly appreciate your offer!
