docs(user): add slow WebDAV performance to Known Problems section#14908
Merged
Conversation
Performance degradation when using WebDAV with a regular password instead of an application password was only mentioned as a general note at the top of the page. Users troubleshooting slow transfers are unlikely to find it there. Added a dedicated Problem/Solution entry in the Known Problems section with keywords (slow, times out) to improve discoverability. Fixes #13920 Signed-off-by: skjnldsv <skjnldsv@protonmail.com>
Looks good, thanks for taking your time to address this. |

☑️ Resolves
Summary
Using a regular account password with a WebDAV client carries a significant server-side
performance penalty (see nextcloud/server#32729). The existing documentation mentioned
this only as a small note near the top of the page — users troubleshooting slow transfers
or timeouts would not find it by scrolling to Known Problems.
Added a dedicated Problem / Solution entry in the Known Problems section with
relevant keywords (slow, times out) so that users land on the solution when they search
for performance issues.
