Hey thanks you for this awesome app, it really helps me a lot!

Would it be possible to add support for webdav as well?

There is another android app called "WebDAV Provider". It does more or less the same thing, minus the ability to keep the app alive using foreground service / notifications during heavy read/write operations. The author added use as local storage too few months ago.

While I did use that app few years ago, and I did actually modify the source to implement use as local storage option. I find the current CIFS Document Provider with SFTP (SSH) is far superior and more secure, especially if you want to access your data from outside of your network with SSH keys. But locally, I would stick with SMB support.

But it would be nice to support WebDAV and NFS too. At that point, the app could be renamed to "Network Document Provider" 😊 But no rush, wa2c the great author of this app hasn't been around lately, I hope everything is okay and he is taking a well deserved break. Whether he implements these features or not, it is up to him, no pressure.

Ok ill check that app out, thanks!

I also think it would be nice to have one app to handle all remote storage options but as you said: no hurry
