   Hi Arno,   
      
   I'm one of the few people on Usenet who, not only have a very strong   
   opinion based on experience, but my experiences determine whe4ther or not I   
   will *change* that opinion on a dime, if/when new information is produced.   
      
   I've changed my mind on WebDAV.   
      
   Recently I've copied my entire Android file system over to Windows over   
   Wi-Fi and I've found that WebDAV in the later Android operating systems is   
   nowhere near as reliable as it was in the earlier Android OS versions.   
      
   I haven't changed a thing in my Android WebDAV setup, and it's not working   
   as it was now in this later Android version than it did in prior versions.   
      
   Since I was in a rush to copy over all my Android data to Windows without   
   resorting to the kindergarten-style use of "the cloud", I didn't spend the   
   time to debug the various quirks that popped up which I never saw before.   
      
   Suffice to say that "maybe" WebDAV is less reliable than it was in the past   
   on Android (but I haven't tested the iOS WebDAV implementation recently).   
      
   I'll withhold judgment as I have more pressing needs to explore, but I will   
   let you know ahead of time that I need to re-assess WebDAV in so much as   
   its ability to mount the entire visible mobile device filesys on Windows as   
   a read/write drive letter.   
      
   More later, as this is a courtesy response based on recent WebDAV   
   experiences even as I first tested WebDAV to mount Android onto Windows   
   many years ago and found it almost perfect for that use model at the time.   
      
   Thanks for keeping up on this as I never disagree with any logically   
   sentient point of view from anyone.   
   --   
   My analysis always starts with the simplest theory that fits the facts.
