## Description

WebDAV Server is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to mount any directory from your phone, including memory cards, as drives directly on your Windows or Linux PC. It supports WebDAV clients like Windows Explorer and BitKinex for seamless browsing and file management. This extension provides flexible power management modes to optimize energy use while keeping the server accessible.

It also supports USB debugging connection for cases without network access by forwarding ports via ADB. Permissions include network communication, storage access, and wake locks to ensure continuous server availability. For handling large files, registry tweaks on Windows help overcome client size limitations, enabling transfers up to 4GB. This tool bridges mobile and desktop storage effortlessly, ideal for users needing quick and reliable access to phone files from their computers.

## Review summary

WebDAV Server can map a drive letter to Android storage for Windows PCs and access internal and SD card storage, offering FTP-like benefits. However, many reviews cite compatibility problems on newer Android versions, unreliable Windows mapping, and signs of abandonment. Stability issues and lack of support undermine reliability. It may work for some setups but is inconsistent across devices and Android versions.

### Pros

- Allows mapping Android storage to a Windows drive letter via WebDAV, enabling use of PC tools that require a drive letter.
- Provides access to both internal storage and external SD card.
- Better alternative to FTP for file transfer and management.
- App has been reported to work on some devices and Android versions (e.g., Pixel 7) and works as advertised.

### Cons

- Compatibility issues with newer Android versions (One UI 7 / Android 15) and other recent devices.
- Windows drive-mapping often fails (cannot map drive in Windows Explorer; network path could not be found).
- Appears abandoned or poorly supported with little to no developer responsiveness.
- Stability problems and flaky behavior (crashes, broken functionality) reported by multiple users.
