Mapping a drive with WebDAV

Benefits of WebDAV:

• No need to install desktop clients;
• Shared files are not stored locally;
• Folders and Files are accessible through the i.e Windows explorer;
• Supports authentication through Active Directory login credentials;
• Can be enabled for all users of an organization or per user.

Limitations of WebDAV:

While it provides a number of benefits, it's important to note that WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol, unrelated to the vBoxxCloud system.

• Microsoft Patches to avoid: Microsoft update KB3101521,Microsoft update KB3008923,Microsoft update KB3055034,Microsoft update KB3054886, visit[Microsoft Support](https://support.microsoft.com) for more information
• Limitations: No access to vBoxxCloud's context menu (right-click menu)
• File-Locking: - Files cannot be locked or unlocked from WebDAV. - If a Team Share is locked, users cannot edit files through WebDAV. - Files moved to the folder will be uploaded once the folder is unlocked.
• Revisions: - Cloud Mounter creates a series of temporary files and folders, deleting them right away after editing files through WebDAV. - Restoring revisions will work as long as deleted files are kept in the folder. Purging deleted files will erase revisions permanently.
