Description

## Prerequisites
- [X] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

## Describe the bug
I have successfully mounted a WebDAV resource from my email provider. I can copy and delete files using elementaryOS files manager to it but if I open the copied files with any app all files are write protected. In the properties tab I can see that I have lost all permissions of all the copied files and nobody is the owner anymore. (see screenshot)

![WebDAV no owner, no permissions](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48738861/71822180-81407680-3094-11ea-866b-4abf89fc0cbd.jpg)

### To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to 'Connect with Server'
2. Select 'Save WebDAV (HTTPS)'
3. Enter your credentials
4. Create a file in your home directory
5. Check in properties tab inside your home directory
6. Copy this file to the WebDAV resource and check the properties tab again

### Expected behavior
That all files which I copy to the mounted WebDAV resource are writable, that means all permissions and the the owner is kept.
