If hosted on a [[WebDAV|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV]]-enabled server, TiddlyWiki will automatically save changes via HTTP for TiddlyWiki's created after 2016. If you created your wiki before Feb 16 2016  you'll need to [[Upgrade|Upgrading]] to enable ~WebDAV.

*   ~SharePoint / ~OneDrive for Windows
** Save your ~TiddlyWiki file with an `.aspx` extension
** Copy it to a ~SharePoint/~OneDrive for Business sync'd library
**   As long as ~WebDAV hasn’t been disabled, renaming single-file wiki from .html to .aspx “just works” when stored in one of these folders
** This //might// work with Mac also.

!! OSX
*   ~WebDavNav Server via the Mac App store.

!! Android

* RCX is an open source file manager for Android based on //rclone//. It is available on both //F-Droid// and //Google Play//. Thanks to its integrated WebDAV server, it lets you edit the wikis that you keep in your pocket. You can share them with other devices on the local network too.

!! Servers

Many [[NAS|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAS]] or [[Subversion|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion]] servers support ~WebDAV out of the box. Setting up your own server might take some effort though:



!! Free Hosting

Several ~WebDAV hosting services tested (~~box.com~~, ~~swissdisk.com~~) don't support accessing HTML files via a webbrowser, so they won't work with ~TiddlyWiki. However, The GMX mediacenter (www.gmx.net) has been reported as working with WebDAV with a free account.
