Suggested Android apps with SAF (webdav) capability

[jman-schief]

Hello, I'm trying the new webdav mount feature. It works great!

Now, as mentioned in the documentation, one also need Android applications able to access the webdav mountpoint: examples are provided for file managers.

Currently I'm using Nextcloud Files to sync through webdav but are there alternatives? I'm looking for example for a generic note taking app or a gallery/pics app. Ideally available on F-Droid. I've tried some, but none support webdav mountpoints to store files. The idea is for these apps to work seamlessy reading from and writing to the mountpoint.

I'm curious if anyone can share suggestions or experiences. Thanks.

Would also be interested. I can view images and play videos with the default players and VLC, so these apps can at least open the files. So I think such a list should be divided into:

1. apps which can handle SAF URIs (= open a file from a DAVx⁵ WebDAV mount)
2. apps which can browse SAF interactively (= UI for selecting a file from a DAVx⁵ WebDAV mount, better integration)

If you think it's a good idea, how about opening a common resource for people to contribute. Maybe a wiki in this repository? Or just anything else you think may work for this purpose.

As a start, I'd add these items found (and personally tested) while searching around.

apps which can handle SAF URIs

• Nextcloud Notes (notes taking. note: depends on Nextcloud Android App)
• WD Notes (notes taking. Note: file names choosen by the App and not configurable)
• SimpleTask (notes taking. Note: file names choosen by the App and not configurable)
• Joplin (notes taking. Note: files content will have a lot of metadata used by the App)
• Orgzly (notes, todo, etc. Note: Only really works with Emacs Orgmode files, does not recognize anything else)

apps which can browse SAF interactively

• Nextcloud Android App (file manager)
• Material Files (file manager. Note: WebDAV sync has an issue and as of yet does not work reliably)

• A list of webdav resources

Nice, thanks! If other people find something, please add it to this thread! Wiki sounds basically fine but I don't want to distribute information too much (homepage / tested-with, manual, FAQ, discussions, wiki …) because it's harder to find then.
