  You could use Owncloud / Nextcloud for the WebDAV part and simply mount your storage either directly in the system or by using the external storage feature.

  /EDIT/
  Just to try to give a full answer: the above mentioned approach should work with any service proving WebDAV support, i.e. a simple Apache server or caddy server.

  Maybe I'm missing something - I'm not familiar with WEBDAV -, but can't you mount your WEBDAV destination on your bridge VPS and connect via SFTP to the mounted folder?

  Here is an example on how to mount using DavFS:

  DavFS installation via Yum and sync via rsync
  
  yum install davfs2
  mkdir /dfs
  cat $PASSWORD | mount.davfs https://dfs.cern.ch/dfs /dfs -o username=$USERNAME
  rsync somefolder/* /dfs/somedfslocation/
  umount.davfs
  rmdir /dfs​

  Forget what I said above, I mixed it up and read is as the other way round...

  That might work indeed Thank you!

  Hmm, isn't that the other way around?

  "rclone serve webdav implements a basic webdav server to serve the remote over HTTP via the webdav protocol. This can be viewed with a webdav client, through a web browser, or you can make a remote of type webdav to read and write it." https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/
