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.

!! Android

[[webdav server|https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.webdavserver&hl=en]] for Android lets you put wikis in your pocket. You can share 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.
