webDav / webDrive / webStorage information

webDAV

webNetwork / Unified Workspace has support for webDav clients to gain access to the file nodes configured.  The URL is https://portal.example-cloud.com/webDrive/ or /webStorage/
Using just / will give you a list of all of your nodes, if you want to limit to a specific node put that name like /Home  
** Note: the URLs are case sensitive.

Issues : 
  • webDav connection is a remote connection over the internet to a file system.  It will be much slower than local access.
  • webDav works best with small files, it does not work well with large files, nor does it work with database files.
  • Some operating systems/applications will create multiple user connections.  Each time the user opens a folder, a new connection request is sent to the webDav server.  This can quickly use up user licenses if you are licensed for a set number of concurrent users.

Mac OSX Connection to webDav
Go to GO then Connect to URL. It will ask for the URL and then your username and password. 


With recent changes in Windows 10 it is best to right click on This PC and choose "Map Network Drive"  Choose the Drive letter you want and then in the folder box use one of the url methods below.

URL Example 1 : https://portal.example-cloud.com/webDrive/
This will connect and display all of the nodes you have access to. 

URL Example 2 : https://portal.example-cloud.com/webDrive/Home/
This will connect to the node named Home. 

 If you want it to re connect after reboot check the "Reconnect at sign-in"  and if the windows username / password is different from the webNetwork / Unified Workspace credentials check the "Connect using different credentials" checkbox.
