How to Access PocketCloud Files via WebDAV?

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an extension of the HTTP protocol that enables file sharing and collaboration over the network. It allows users to access, edit, and manage files stored on remote servers through web browsers or client applications.

WebDAV provides the following main features:

  1. File Upload and Download – Supports uploading local files to the server and downloading remote files to local devices.
  2. File Management – Enables users to create, delete, rename, and move files or folders on the remote server.
  3. File Synchronization – Keeps local and remote files in sync to ensure data consistency.
  4. File Sharing and Collaboration – Allows users to share files on the server with others, facilitating teamwork and collaboration.
