ExpanDrive vs WebDAV Manager

ExpanDrive mounts cloud storage and protocol endpoints as desktop drives, letting you access files through Finder, Explorer, and other applications. Files stream on demand rather than syncing folders, with local caching and an option to pin files for offline access. Listed connections include Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Nextcloud, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and others. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Server Edition can operate as a headless service on Windows Server and Linux, expose mounted storage as a Windows SMB share, and includes a command line for managing mounts and connections. ExpanDrive says connections use TLS and credentials are kept in the local operating system credential store. Plain FTP sends credentials and file contents in the clear; FTPS or SFTP is recommended for sensitive connections. The Free plan is free, billed forever. Business is $29 a month, billed monthly; Enterprise pricing is custom.

WebDAV Manager is a native WebDAV client for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision. It connects to servers over HTTP or HTTPS using Basic or Digest authentication. You can save multiple server profiles with separate URLs, ports, credentials, and settings, then browse folders, create folders, upload, download, share, or delete files. The app previews text, PDFs, images, and videos, and shows thumbnails in file lists. Connections can be configured by pasting a complete server URL or entering fields individually. The maker says credentials, server URLs, and files remain on the device and move only between it and the configured WebDAV server; the app collects no personal data or sends data to its own servers. The free app is listed at free and 2 MB. Requirements include iOS or iPadOS 16, macOS 13 on Apple M1 or later, or visionOS 1.
