Still another hint to make iCloud work as a Webdav server.
It happens that when I try to "Verify Server", an SSL error occurs.
Entering then the webdav URL in the browser address bar itself as follows:
"http://webdav.icloud.com/user/xios"
is not enough.
But with typing instead:
"https://webdav.icloud.com/user/xios" (yes, "https", not "http")
the browser gets the website certificate (even if an error still occurs).
Then, "Verify Server" works.
I was having the same verify server problems in setting up Webdav syncing on 4shared.com with a Mac and @giannang's strategy above resolved it. Thanks!
> SkyDrive may work if it supports WebDAV -- does it?
No, at least not natively. But you could use a WebDAV gateway like SMEstorage (http://www.smestorage.com) that enables WebDAV access to non-WebDAV storage hosters. But see my post about that topic in http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/22658/properly-configured-webdav-servers-and-zotero/
