For sure. I tried to setup a collaboration environment for a Customer years ago using WebDAV over SSL in lieu of Dropbox. Everything worked great (authenticating to Active Directory, NTFS ACLs, IP address restrictions in IIS policy where necessary, auditing access in Windows security log and IIS logs, no client to install), but the Windows client experience was hideously slow. People hated it for that and it got no traction.

OTOH gio-based WebDAV access built into Nautilus and Thunar is something I use daily, and it works quite fine, for a FUSE-based filesystem.

Unlike NFS or SMB, WebDAV mounts do not get stuck for a minute when the connection becomes unstable.

In my experience, WebDAV has always been slow, no matter which platform.

Can WebDAV be made fast?
