Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1377

Which version of floccus are you using?

4.19.1

Sync method

WebDAV

Which browser are you using? In case you are using the phone App, specify the Android or iOS version and device please.

Firefox

What kind of WebDAV server are you using? (if relevant)

Nextcloud webdav

Describe the Bug

I'm using Nextcloud webdav to store the bookmarks.xbel file and everything works fine except there is an annoyance in that floccus keeps creating a bookmarks.xbel.lock file and deleting it so my Nextcloud trash has many hundreds of these files in there. It created 130 of these files in the past 3 days alone.

Expected Behavior

I wish it wasn't writing these .lock files every time it syncs, maybe there is a way to not write it to the filesystem and keep the application functional (or at least not write to the webdav filesystem).

To Reproduce

Store the .xbel file in a webdav remote and let floccus sync then check your trash.

Situation is explained here: #176
It is a Nextcloud issue since it doesn't support file locking.
