Mounts natively - with quirks we won't hide

WebDAV is supported out of the box on every major desktop OS. Here's exactly how to connect, and the rough edges to expect, so there are no surprises.

macOS

Native (Finder)

Connect

  1. In Finder, choose Go → Connect to Server (Cmd+K).
  2. Enter your drive URL and click Connect.
  3. Enter your drive credential username and secret.

Known quirks

  • Finder's WebDAV client can be slow with very large directories.
  • Keep the connection over HTTPS; macOS may refuse plain-HTTP WebDAV.

Windows

Native (File Explorer)

Connect

  1. Open File Explorer → This PC → Map network drive.
  2. Use your drive URL as the folder and finish the wizard.
  3. Enter your drive credential when prompted.

Known quirks

  • The built-in WebDAV redirector enforces a file-size limit by default; large uploads may need a registry change.
  • Always use the HTTPS URL so Windows will store the credential.

Linux

Native (GNOME/KDE) or davfs2

Connect

  1. In GNOME Files, use Other Locations → Connect to Server with davs://…
  2. Or mount with davfs2 for a persistent system mount.
  3. Authenticate with your drive credential.

Known quirks

  • GVFS and davfs2 differ in caching behavior; davfs2 is better for heavy workloads.
  • Ensure your distro trusts the TLS certificate chain.
