Upgrade Storagewebdav for most cloud storage with rclone
I am experimenting to find a working solution to replace webdav for box. I haven't found any infos about this potential solution in my search so here it is:
rclone (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/) provides a way to serve most cloud storage in webdav (it does many other amazing things...). I have tried only with box but it should work with gdrive, amazon drive and all the cloud storage solutions that rclone is compatible with.
This is my setup:
I have a remote server that connects to my box account with rclone and serves them in webdav over a specific port.
That port is open for remote access. In Zotero and Papership, I setup the IP address of my server and the specific port and voilà! Everything works as it should.
I didn't manage to get SSL to work yet as I used a self-signed certificate and can't find out how to get it authentified for a server. Also for some reason, setting a login and password does not work for Papership over http but may work over https.
