WebDAV migrations,
without legacy pain.
Mover is the data-migration tool from Files.com. One-time moves between 20+ providers — no subscriptions, no surprises, no scripts.
Migrate data to or from any WebDAV server with Mover. NextCloud, ownCloud, Synology, QNAP, IIS, Apache mod_dav — if it speaks WebDAV, Mover can connect to it.
WebDAVThe NextCloud / NAS story
Why WebDAV migrations happen
WebDAV migrations cluster around self-hosted file sharing — NextCloud, ownCloud, NAS appliances. Most are decommissioning those into managed cloud services. A few are the reverse, loading them up from cloud sources. Hundreds of moves, two stories.
Pushing data into a self-hosted NextCloud or ownCloud
Self-hosted file-sharing platforms are a real category. Mover pushes data into them from cloud sources without manual upload or sync.
Feeding a NAS appliance with WebDAV access
Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, and other NAS platforms expose WebDAV for cross-platform access. Mover writes to those endpoints from any cloud or on-prem source.
Loading a WebDAV-based enterprise file share
Microsoft IIS, Apache mod_dav, and various enterprise WebDAV servers exist in the wild. Mover migrates into them when the destination workflow requires it.
Decommissioning NextCloud or ownCloud
Self-hosting file sharing is real work — patching, backups, capacity planning. Customers retiring a NextCloud or ownCloud instance into a managed cloud service use Mover to move the data over.
Moving from a NAS appliance to cloud storage
Retiring an aging Synology, QNAP, or TrueNAS box into S3, Azure Blob, GCS, or a SaaS file platform.
Modernizing a WebDAV-based workflow
Compliance reviews or platform standardization often pull data off a WebDAV server into a more managed destination.
Common pairings
Pair WebDAV with any cloud.
WebDAV migrations rarely happen in isolation. These are the providers we pair with most often — one-click setup on either side, same dry-run flow, same audit trail.
Connection
How Mover connects.
Mover connects to IETF the standard way. Provide the credential, nothing more — generate a scoped token if you want minimum-privilege.
Username + password (HTTP Basic)
The standard WebDAV auth method. Mover connects with the credentials you provide. Use HTTPS endpoints in production so the credentials don't travel in plain text.
The price
The pricing math, honestly.
Mover charges as low as $0.15 / GB when purchasing a 10 TB pack. Your IETF-side cost depends on direction. No invoice math, no surprises — the dry-run shows the exact number before you commit.
Provider side
your own server
Mover
When purchasing a 10 TB pack
WebDAV doesn't charge a per-GB fee. The cost on the WebDAV side is whatever you pay for the server or appliance — NextCloud hosting, NAS hardware, IIS infrastructure, whatever's behind the endpoint.
Provider side
your own server

When purchasing a 10 TB pack
Same as above. There is no transfer fee on a generic WebDAV endpoint.

The exact dry-run estimate is the number to trust — it includes both line items, run against your actual data.
Getting started
4 steps to Go.
From credential to first byte in four clicks. The dry-run is free, every time, and shows the exact cost before you commit a byte.
Connect WebDAV.
Provide the WebDAV URL, username, and password. Mover validates the connection and lists the directories the WebDAV user can see.
Choose source and destination paths.
Apply filters and a date range if you want a partial migration.
Run a dry-run.
Mover walks the source, counts files, sizes the transfer, and produces an exact cost estimate.
Launch.
Live progress, automatic retries on transient failures. Pause, resume, or cancel at any time.
Common Questions
Frequently asked.
Most teams launch their first migration in under 15 minutes. The dry run is free, every time.
Any standards-compliant WebDAV endpoint. Common ones include NextCloud, ownCloud, Synology DSM, QNAP QTS, TrueNAS SCALE, Microsoft IIS, and Apache with mod_dav. If the server speaks standard WebDAV, Mover connects.
