I am looking for suggestions on the best way to access my WebDAV site
from outside my network. Due to the upload size of the files,
Cloudflare tunnel is not an option. I have attempted this.

The WebDAV site is currently in IIS. I have a domain that I would like
to use. Is a reverse proxy the best option? I have some confusion on
the setup of a reverse proxy in general. I feel like I am over
complicating this whole process.

* You would simply open the port for your WebDAV service, if youre
using a typical consumer router, look into port-forwarding.

* Or you place a reverse proxy server in front of the WebDAV. Open a
port for the proxy alone, and set the proxy to redirect to the WebDAV.

* Alternatively you run a form of VPN, leaving the WebDAV port itself
closed to the public. But you would need to run a client software on
the device that wants to connect to the WebDAV share from the outside.

WAN > reverse proxy > IIS WebDAV. If you don't need access for anyone
I suggest putting your access behind a VPN.

It would be for an application uploading files automatically everyday
so VPN wouldn’t be an option.

Any suggestions for reverse proxy for IIS? Other than IIS? Or is it
the best in this case?

nginx with headers more plugin for basic auth since nginx OSS does not
support NTLM. You can use my container image if you like which already
has headers more in it: https://hub.docker.com/r/11notes/nginx
