I wonder isn't WebDAV horrendously slow for you? I have selfhosted nextCloud and sending 1GB file was a nightmare (over WiFi). It took ages and didn't finish at the end. I did fall back to usb pendrive... I would like to have something that is not in PHP I guess, this might be the bottleneck

Oh ! The performance table on github is not rendered. If you look at the same page on https://fossil.kd2.org/karadav/doc/main/README.md KaraDAV is very close to apache mod_dav module and way faster than NextCloud.

> KaraDAV performance was very close to mod_dav, and NextCloud performance was incredibly poor.

  Client  KaraDAV  NextCloud  mod_dav
  Dolphin (KDE)  5 seconds  1 minute 15 seconds  3 seconds
  Thunar (GTK)  5 seconds  1 minute 50 seconds  5 seconds
  WebDAV Manager.js  4 seconds (no delete)  --  --

Sometimes the WebDAV client is to blame, especially clients provided by the OS itself, awful performance.

Nowdays i just use (encrypted) SMB over the internet, performance is great and it works on all major systems without additional software. Basically the best and easiest way to transfer (large) files over the network.

Maybe that's just a product of next cloud's heaviness in general and not a webdav problem? I think that might be the point of this, just a very light webdav implementation with support for nextcloud clients (for basic file functionality not all the other nextcloud features)
