One issue that networked filesystems have is with mutations, especially with multiple writers. WebDAV, NFS, etc. try to address this with locking, but that doesn't allow simultaneous writes, which means it's dangerous to work offline. It's possible to solve this by using an OT or CRDT algorithm behind the scene. This is what we are building into an extension of HTTP called braid (https://braid.news https://braid.news). It could be useful for a web-backed filesystem. It automates synchronization.
