How to set up the WebDAV protocol on Windows 11?
If you want to access your files in Koofr with the file manager on your computer which has a built-in WebDAV connection, follow the steps below:
- Open your Account Settings in Koofr WebApp and select Preferences
- Click on Password in the menu on the left
- Find Generate new password textbox, type in the password name and click Generate
- Be sure to remember the password, as you cannot view it later
When you've generated the WebDAV password:
- Open File Explorer
- Right-click on This PC
- Select Map Network Drive
- Specify the connection drive letter
- Type
https://app.koofr.net/dav/Koofrinto the text box Folder - If you want to use WebDAV every time you access your folders, check the Reconnect at sign-in checkbox if it’s not already checked by default
- Check the Connect using different credentials checkbox
- Click on Finish
- When Windows Security window appears, type in your Koofr username and WebDAV password that you generated previously and click on the OK button.
Now you have established a WebDAV protocol for the Koofr app on your Windows computer. In the folder structure on your computer, you will now see a new Network Drive. If you click on it, you can see the same folder structure as in the Koofr web application.
Note: If you forget the WebDAV password that you generated through Koofr WebApp, you can always generate a new one, but you'll need to replace it everywhere that you've used it.
Note: Windows default maximum file size limitation that can be uploaded or downloaded through WebDAV is 50 MB. See Microsoft support sites for explanation and fix.
Note: If you want to see all of the available Koofr files (for example, files in your Shared folders) in your mounted network drive, you need to mount the root Koofr folder as a network drive. That means you need to use https://app.koofr.net/dav/ as a Host, when mounting your network drive manually. If you use the Koofr desktop app to enable the Koofr network drive, this is already taken care of. Please also note that if you mount https://app.koofr.net/dav/ the first level of your network drive is not writeable. That means you cannot create files and folders on that level.
