Is it possible for multiple users to edit the same file and save using this webdav library? about nwebdav HOT 5 CLOSED

It's not regulated by the WebDAV protocol, but by the underlying client application. It depends on the underlying client how they implement locking and collaboration.

So I believe WebDAV supports both Shared locks and exclusive locks. Does this implementation support both and if so then is there a way to set that ?

This implementation supports both shared and exclusive locks. It only supports in-memory locking, so you can't use multiple NWebDAV servers behind a load-balancer. Recursive locks (locking an entire folder) is also not supported.

Although it is possible to create you own locking manager (derive from ILockingManager) and implement a locking manager that uses Redis (for example) to support multiple NWebDAV servers and provide reliable locking.

The implementation that I have is a WebAPI. It has a endpoint listening for WebDAV request (specific url) and handles it using this webdav library. Currently the document is locked when opened from word and no other user is able to edit the document unless the previous instance of word(that the file was opened with) is closed. [Word gives a message saying the file is in use when someone else tries to open the document and on save gives error "document is locked for editing by another user ]

Is there a way I can achieve multiple users allowed to edit the file simultaneously ?

Thanks.

I know that Word has its own WebDAV client and I also know that Word 2016 (or later) supports co-editing when the document is stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. I haven't heard that Word supports co-editing on WebDAV drives.
