WebDAV Software

WebDAV, or Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning, extends HTTP with methods for managing files and collections on remote servers. It lets users and applications create, edit, move, and delete files over a network, making shared storage accessible through compatible clients. WebDAV can support collaboration, remote access, and automated file transfers without requiring users to connect directly to a server’s local filesystem.

Open source tools in this area include WebDAV servers, storage gateways, and client libraries that connect applications to remote files. When choosing one, consider supported features and client compatibility, authentication and permissions, encryption, storage options, maintenance activity, license, and deployment requirements. WebDAV can be useful for individuals, teams, and organizations that need standards-based access to files across devices or want to integrate remote storage into existing workflows.
