# WebDAV

You can connect ExpanDrive to a WebDAV server over HTTP or HTTPS. Use HTTPS whenever the server supports it.

## Connection Parameters

### Server

Enter the server address, including the `https://` or `http://` prefix. Check with your WebDAV provider for the correct URL.

### Username

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

### Password

ExpanDrive stores the password in your operating system's [credential store](/security.md#credential-storage).

### Remote Path

The remote path sets the top-level directory visible through this connection. Enter an absolute path 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 opening subfolders.

### Nickname

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