Connect to WebDAV Server as a Windows Drive

What is WebDAV?

WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an extension of the HTTP protocol for managing files on remote servers. Because it operates over standard HTTP/HTTPS ports, it passes easily through firewalls and proxies.

WebDAV via Rebex Drive

Rebex Drive maps a WebDAV server directly as a network drive in Windows Explorer. No dedicated client or web browser is needed — any application that can open files from a drive letter works with your remote WebDAV storage out of the box.

Server Compatibility

Rebex Drive connects to a wide range of WebDAV servers, including:

  • Nextcloud and ownCloud
  • Apache and Nginx with WebDAV module
  • NAS devices (Synology, QNAP, and others)

Connection Features

  • HTTP and HTTPS
  • Basic and Digest authentication
  • Support for self-signed certificates

Typical Use Cases

  • Working with files on Nextcloud or ownCloud without the web interface
  • Accessing a NAS or internal storage over HTTP
