Summary

WebDAV is practially unusable without the application password, yet this is only mentioned as a note

Details

With regard to https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/32729#issuecomment-1556667151 and the severity of the performance penalty,

I suggest adding a separate section under "known problems" (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html#known-problems).

This helps users find this solution more easily by searching for keywords such as "slow".
