GARMTECH Cloud Storage is based on Nextcloud and supports WebDAV. With WebDAV you can map Cloud Storage as a network drive in Windows or connect to it from macOS Finder.
Note: Mapping via WebDAV is great for “online access”. If you need continuous sync and offline files, use the Cloud Storage desktop app instead.
Step 1: Get your WebDAV URL
You can find the WebDAV address in two ways:
- In the web interface: open Cloud Storage → Files → Settings (bottom-left) → copy the WebDAV URL.
- Manually: use the format:
https://YOUR-CLOUD-STORAGE-URL/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/
Your Cloud Storage URL is shown in My.GARMTECH in the service details.
Windows 10/11: Map as a network drive
- Open File Explorer → This PC.
- Click Map network drive.
- Choose a drive letter.
- In Folder, paste your WebDAV URL (HTTPS), for example:
https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/ - Enable “Connect using different credentials” (if shown) and finish.
- Enter your Cloud Storage username and password.
macOS: Connect via Finder
- Open Finder.
- Click Go → Connect to Server…
- Enter the same WebDAV URL, for example:
https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/ - Click Connect and enter your username and password.
If you have 2FA enabled
If two-factor authentication is enabled in Cloud Storage, you must use an app password for WebDAV connections. Create it in Cloud Storage → Personal settings → Security → Devices & sessions.
Troubleshooting
- 401 Unauthorized: wrong username/password or you need an app password (2FA enabled).
- Certificate warning: confirm you use the correct HTTPS URL.
- Slow performance: for large folders and many files, the desktop sync client is usually faster and more stable than WebDAV mapping.
