Introducing WebDAV
WebDAV, or Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning, is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.

It’s widely used for synchronizing files across devices and providing remote access to document repositories.
