WebDAV Share Mount Location in Dolphin?

I recently set up a WebDAV server for storing media and syncing things across devices. Right now, I'm trying to keep my Tox profile synced between my Linux desktop and Windows laptop. The idea was to store the folder on my server and then symlink it to where it needs to go on both computers. I can mount the server in Dolphin using the built-in "add network location" dialogue, but I don't know where it's actually being mounted. I can access it through dolphin, but I have no idea where I should point my symlink to. When I mount a drive with Udisks2, for example, I know it gets mounted to /run/media/$USER. When I mount a filesystem with SSHFS, I get to specify a mountpoint. When I mount a WebDAV share through Dolphin, is it actually being mounted to a location in the filesystem via FUSE, or am I misunderstanding something? Are there any alternative options I should consider?

Thanks

Is there a reason not to simply use the fstab?

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Davfs.

What makes you think that it's mounted somewhere? AFAIK the webdav support in dolphin simply downloads and uploads the files on the fly.

Re: WebDAV Share Mount Location in Dolphin?

Hello everybody!
Try to mount https://webdav.yandex.ru from cli (also from KDE5's Konsole) - everything OK! ls, file operations etc.

BUT! After ANY gui (use KDE5) access - Dolphin, Plasma Media Center, KeePass and so on - access to mountpoint is blocked, Dolphin itself is not responding, kill <pidof_dolphin> don't work. Also ls in Konsole not responding to infinity, umount -r (and from root) is not working too. All I can to do for now is only reboot and all repeats...

Followed the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Davfs/
Confused of "0 1" in fstab, tried to change it to "0 0", but webdav still stucking. I'm stucking too.
System is up to date.

Thank you in advance!

UPD: while writing this (veeery slow), mountpoint opened and listed correctly, but SO much time fo this! very annoying. Still question: what to do for GUI to work correctly?
