This is general feedback to ANYONE wanting to use INTERNXT webdav. in short. they dont support two core features aka they do not have Webdav support.
you can read about it here.. basically DONT USE.. Fight for refund if you are just reading this after ordering.. Ive spend months trying but it wont work.
Internxt CLI’s WebDAV implementation lacks support for the COPY and PROPPATCH methods — and this is not a minor gap. It **breaks
compatibility with the vast majority of backup and sync tools**, making Internxt unsuitable as a reliable storage backend for anything beyond manual file uploads.
This issue disqualifies Internxt from being used in professional or automated backup workflows. The following tools are directly affected:
Duplicati – fails due to unsupported methods
Cyberduck / Mountain Duck – cannot move/sync files reliably
rclone – requires forced overrides to avoid method errors
Restic (via rclone) – degraded functionality
Kopia – only works in basic, non-incremental modes
WebDAV Method Status Critical Role
COPYEnables in-place duplication, versioning, efficient syncing
PROPPATCHEnables timestamp and metadata preservation
These methods are not optional — they are foundational to how backup software manages file state, versioning, and metadata integrity.

## 💥 Impact
This issue **disqualifies Internxt from being used** in professional or automated backup workflows. The following tools are directly affected:
- **Duplicati** – fails due to unsupported methods
- **Cyberduck / Mountain Duck** – cannot move/sync files reliably

## 🛠️ Technical Blockers
| WebDAV Method | Status | Critical Role |
|---------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `COPY` | ❌ | Enables in-place duplication, versioning, efficient syncing |
| `PROPPATCH` | ❌ | Enables timestamp and metadata preservation |
These methods are not optional — they are foundational to how backup software manages file state, versioning, and metadata integrity.

## 📢 Call to Action
**Implementing `COPY` and `PROPPATCH` should be treated as a top priority.** Without them, Internxt’s WebDAV support is fundamentally broken for core use cases like:
- Automated cloud backups
- File synchronization between devices
- Long-term archival and versioning
Fixing this will immediately unlock Internxt for serious users, automation pipelines, and enterprise deployment, and BACKUPS!
---
## ⚠️ Current Workarounds (Not Viable Long Term)
Some edge-case setups have had *partial* success using:
- `rclone` with `--webdav-method PUT` and **modtime disabled**
- `Kopia` in **non-incremental** backup mode
- Manual uploads via `curl`
These are fragile hacks — **not sustainable solutions** for any real-world backup environment.
I am not asking for support on this, just posting so I hope others read before like i did spending ALOT on lifetime 10TB that is now basically Junk.

Thanks for the heads-up, Jack. Without COPY and PROPPATCH, Internxt’s WebDAV can’t work with most backup tools, so it’s basically unusable for automated syncing or backups.

Rclone works fine with the copy command since the last update:
XXX@ubuntu:~/Documents/internxt/internxt-tests$ rclone copy test_folder_500mb/ internxt-test:/test_copy --transfers=1 --stats=5s --stats-one-line --no-check-certificate -vv
