About davfs2

davfs2 lets you mount a WebDAV share, such as one offered by a cloud storage or file server, as an ordinary file system on Linux. Once mounted, the remote files can be opened, copied and edited with any program, as if they were stored locally.

It is free software hosted on GNU Savannah, with signed source releases and a Git mirror. It suits Linux users and administrators who want WebDAV storage available at a mount point rather than through a separate client.

Strengths

  • Any program can use WebDAV files through a normal mount point
  • Signed source releases
  • Free software

Limitations

  • Linux only
  • Configured from the command line, with no graphical interface
