Sync with icloud WebDAV?
icloud offers a "webtop" or web-based desktop/os that includes 3 GB storage with their free package: http://icloud.com/en/features/packages
It's supposedly WebDAV accessible with help from a downloaded app: http://icloud.com/en/webdav
But I haven't been able to get it to work as storage for Zotero sync.
Has anyone else tried using icloud?

I'm starting to use it and it works for me.
I guess the problem could be when you set the server because you have to include your user name and the name of the drive (in my case "xios")* within the URL like this: https://webdav.icloud.com/username/drivename
Now the files are synchronized with the server (up to 3 Gbs).
;-)
* You can check that if you connect through your operating system first. Then you can create a "zotero" folder as I did
So I'll continue looking for an other free WebDAV service.
MyDrive.ch does have paid storage up to 1 TB, and at the 2-10 GB range it seems rather reasonably priced. If you find a good new option for larger collections, please share your findings.
Any steer would be appreciated!
There are numerous cloud services that do support WebDAV https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/webdav_services
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html
You could find several providers in the nextcloud page:

Some get you up to 5GB for free.
