WebDAV is a network protocol used for data transfer. It is based on http and offers a faster and more robust connection than sftp. The suitability for permanent connections depends highly on the used client. We advise the Rclone client. Instructions are given at the Rclone page. See rclone webdav config docs for more details.

Usage

Windows

It is recommended to use the tool Rclone as you can't work with files greater than 4 GiB or mount more than 16 TB overall if you are using WebDAV via Windows Explorer. If you want to set up the connection via Windows Explorer nevertheless, you can follow the instructions for establishing a permanent connection with smb. Replace the smb network path with the WebDAV URL and use your regular username of the service that you want to connect to.

MacOS & Linux

It is recommended to follow the instructions for setting up the tool Rclone with the WebDAV protocol.
