-to be able to edit existing files, the client must have the Delete-permission, and some webdav clients will also require the [daw](https://copyparty.eu/cli/#g-daw) volflag or global-option (not necessary if the client sends the `x-oc-mtime` header). Without `daw`, those clients will fail to modify existing files and instead create new copies with names like `notes.txt-1771978661.726032-3i9GPghL.txt`. **NOTE:** Enabling `daw` will also make all PUT-uploads overwrite existing files if the user has delete-access, so use with caution.
