Is there a specific version of Webdav you'd suggest? another user suggested using SFTPGo, do you have any preferences?

Thank you for this! I have sent this suggestion off to our web wizard it looks extremely promising, we had wanted to attempt something like this but couldn't find a foot hold to get started!

That is a new one for us! Thank you for the info I will do some research!

Yeah our problem is we are hosting everything on a website for public use. I didn't know that they were working on public search I will give that a read thank you!

Would the rclone method work with a public website? I only have a vague familiarity with rclone from the .edu google drive days.
