## Description

aliyundrive-webdav is a server-side gateway that translates AliyunDrive cloud storage into a WebDAV interface. It functions as a self-hosted cloud file server that maps remote storage accounts to a local network drive, allowing users to manage files through standard network drive clients.

The project distinguishes itself by routing data requests directly between the client and the cloud provider to enable direct media streaming without server-side proxying. It utilizes a terminal-based QR code authentication system to exchange scans for refresh tokens and maintains a secure cloud gateway using TLS-encrypted transport.

The system covers a broad range of capabilities, including protocol translation for file management, credential-based access control, and upload optimization through hash-based deduplication. It also supports deployment as a boot-start system service with automatic recovery.
