Also, it's a terrible Plan B, but it's still a Plan B to keep in mind: Windows still has semi-adequate WebDAV views in Explorer. OneDrive for Business is still WebDAV-based for instance. (I've also seen and used several backup and NAS tools that have relied on WebDAV.)

There's always the ability to use a SAMBA server variant and be a network share. Still a lot of dumb Windows apps that fail on network shares, but most of those are long in the tooth and should be retired anyway (and the tried and true Map Network Drive is still a power user workaround).

It looks like one application I use (JungleDisk) is somehow faking a removable drive (such as USB). I'm curious how they've built that.
