Webdrive Client Settings

MyWorkDrive Webdrive Client Settings

We have tested WebDrive for users who need a continuously mapped drive letter on Windows using WebDAV. Note: We only support our own mapped drive client which providers greater functionality when used with our server product including; Web Drive loading speed, two factor authentication and single sign-on (SAML) options for a true web drive letter experience without WebDAV. These instructions are provided for reference to assist customers in special use cases only.

To get started Download and install WebDrive

Using Site Wizard, Choose Secure WebDAV:

 

 

For Url/Address enter the address provided for your MyWorkDrive web connection when you signed up (Typically https://yourcompany.myworkdrive.net/dav) or your own site if you’re self-hosted and using your own domain name and SSL Certificate – https://share.yourcompany.com/dav Please note /dav is case sensitive – /DAV – Will not work – ( resolved in version 2.1.39 of the MyWorkDrive.com server software).

If you would like to map to a specific share instead of the root of your WebDAV site append the share name you created after /dav for example: /dav/shared

Enter the username and password that you use to login to your Windows Domain.

 

 

Custom Settings: Click Advanced Setttings, Connection Settings.
