Alternatives: Alternatives like baikal are simpler and more lightweight but lack the flexibility and extensibility of sabre/dav, while icewind/smb or native WebDAV solutions would require more configuration and don’t provide the same level of comprehensive protocol support, making sabre/dav the best choice for ILIAS’s feature needs.
