Release Notes: WebDAV (Linux)

Sync WebDAV Server 1.2.1 (November 2, 2026)

New --base-path option lets your mounted Sync drive show a custom name in Finder, such as “My Drive”, instead of “127.0.0.1” (macOS)

Uninstalling now stops the running server and removes your saved sign-in and WebDAV password (macOS, Linux)
Documents saved from LibreOffice over a davfs2 mount no longer disappear from your account until the file is closed (Linux)
A failed headless sign-in now shows a clear error message instead of crashing
The server no longer quits when a client connects with a malformed address

WebDAV connections now require a password, generated automatically for you
The server only accepts connections from your own computer by default; other devices on your network can be allowed when needed
Updates now install automatically at startup; turn this off with sync-webdav update --auto off
Faster uploads, especially when copying many small files or large files
The headless sign-in page now shows a Copy token button instead of an Open terminal button

Improved protection for your mounted folder when using --mount, so it can’t be removed by deleting the top-level folder
Downloads no longer fail or return empty files after deleting a file (macOS)
Renaming a folder no longer takes over a minute
Creating a folder inside a read-only shared folder now returns a permission error instead of a server error
Changes made while your account is busy processing other changes are retried instead of failing
