    Being able to browse to the report server from Excel (and other tools) through the file open dialog (or indeed windows explorer) through webDAV would extend the usability of the Report server massively

    Another use case is simply being able to open an excel file and save directly back to report server without having to save a copy locally, navigate to PBIRS and upload through the portal.

    A client I'm working with needs this when storing .odc connection files in Report Server for Excel Workbooks. Previously stored in SharePoint but now moving over to PBIRS these can't be referenced. Will have to setup a separate SharePoint just for this or IIS with WebDAV
