I’m a happy FastMail and Joplin user too but don’t know too much about WebDAV protocol. Is syncing fast enough to manage your notes synced between devices ? I’m syncing Joplin (and keepass) with Dropbox but would love getting rid of it and syncthing haven’t proved to be fast enough for such sensitive files (it is for cold files). What do you think ?

It works quickly, takes a few seconds to do an entire sync, happens automatically every 5 minutes and on app close, I never really think about it.

I love that I can have the same note open on both phone and computer and changes from either side will show up.

Setting up an app to connect to Fastmail's WebDav is super simple[1]

Won’t WebDAV sync the whole file every time? I can’t imagine webdav being superior for this than Dropbox’s block level syncing.

Especially if Joplin files are anything like OneNote files and have the whole content of a workbook as a single file.
