Another option might be to install some third party client/service that is more kind with the average webdav implementation. One example might be this https://cyberduck.io/ (no endorsement, just found by quick googling and tested briefly on our WIP, successfully)

One could also find something that has the same level of transparence of a "real folder", as e.g. davfs2 for linux http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2 (this also seems to work with our code)

On my windows 7 vitual machine I could no connect the native webdav client not even with my owncloud, so it is some task indeed!

restricting clients is certainly an option.

Webdrive https://southrivertech.com/products/webdrive/ has historcally worked with oacs-dav on Windows, that might be an option as well. I haven't tested other clients.

Another thing we did was setup poatgresql based SFTP authorization from the openacs database with an external file storage location for the content repository and a trigger to add items to the database. You'd have to explore the security implications of that a bit.
