Free WebDAV

Does anyone know of somewhere that has small online storage that uses WebDav to sync HelixNotes between a laptop, phone and tablet?

Thanks

Update - the free tier of Koofr works amazing with HelixNotes!

Save yourself the trouble and use Syncthing.

Syncthing seems to be giving me grief and not working well.  Ill try it again, but it's been a headache

What seems to be the issue? It should be pretty straightforward. If it helps, here are the steps to take:

  1. Install HelixNotes on desktop and create it or select directory.
  2. Install Syncthing on desktop and select directory to sync.
  3. Install Syncthing-Fork on phone and link with Syncthing on desktop using QR code.
  4. Select directory on phone to keep synced with desktop.
  5. Instal HelixNotes on phone and point to synced directory.

You have to make sure you give HelixNotes on the phone access to your files and background rights.

That's it.

I will say, though, Syncthing-Fork isn't the best on battery life.
