It supports automatic Microsoft Office documents locking, synchronization, on-demand loading, selective offline files support, upload and download progress. It synchronizes files and folders both from a WebDAV server to the local user file system and from the local user file system to the WebDAV server. It is written in .NET Core, C#.
You can use it out-of-the-box to manage documents on a WebDAV server, or as a starting point for your custom virtual drive app, to create OneDrive-like features for your DMS/CRM/ERP and reprogram it to publish data from your storage.
Managing Locks on Your WebDAV Server
Locks protect the document while being edited from concurrent modifications. Locks support on your WebDAV server is vital for Microsoft Office editing. While in most cases your WebDAV client, including Microsoft Office, will manage locks automatically you may need to discover locks support, enumerate locks and unlock a file if needed.Using IT Hit library you can copy, move and delete items, read and set custom properties, manage file versions, lock items and discover locks.
