WebDAV

You can use ExpanDrive to connect to a WebDAV server using either HTTP or HTTPs.

Connection Parameters

Server

The address of the server you are connecting to, including the protocol prefix, either https:// or in rare circumstances http://. Check with your WebDAV provider for the URL to use.

Username

This is the username assigned for your access to the WebDAV server.

Password

Your password is saved securely in the macOS Keychain or the Windows credentials vault.

Remote path

The remote path allows you to enter a path on the remote server which limits which directory will be the top-most directory visible through this connection. Specify the absolute path to the directory, such as /home/user/inbox .

One reason to specify this path is to create a connection to a single specific directory, which can simplify operations on your computer, allowing you to interact directly with the mount folder rather than repeatedly navigating through subfolders.

Nickname

The nickname identifies this connection on your machine. This name is used as the volume label on the mounted drive.
