Cadaver vs NetDrive

Cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix systems. It manages files and collections from a terminal, with commands for uploading, downloading, displaying, moving and copying resources. You can create or delete collections, lock resources, edit files in place and manipulate properties. Release 0.28, dated 18 September 2025, added the `resumeget` and `head` commands; editing uses conditional PUT where possible to reduce conflicts. Cadaver is free software under GPL-2.0, with a free plan priced at free and no trial. The official site names Joe Orton as publisher and links to a discussion forum and GitHub bug reports. Building from source uses git clone, autogen.sh, configure and make. Neon 0.29.x or later is required, while non-UTF-8 native locales require iconv or libiconv. WebDAV class 1 support is required unless tolerant mode is used.

NetDrive mounts remote storage so files can be accessed through Windows Explorer or macOS Finder like files stored on the computer. Its File Browser offers another way to manage remote files: users can open, download, rename, and delete them without mounting a drive. NetDrive 3 can upload files in the background, and file locking prevents other users from deleting, renaming, or overwriting locked files. Team maintainers can publish shared drives to members’ drive lists. Listed connections include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, MEGA, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, Azure, Backblaze B2, WebDAV, FTP, and SFTP. NetDrive lists Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, though the download page lists Windows and macOS installers. Use requires a Bdrive account ID and an internet connection. One license supports one device at a time. Plans start at $3.90/mo, and a 7-day trial is available. NetDrive was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.
