Map GARMTECH Cloud Storage as a network drive (WebDAV)

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

1. Open File Explorer → This PC.
2. Click Map network drive.
3. Choose a drive letter.
4. In Folder, paste your WebDAV URL (HTTPS), for example:

   https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

5. Enable “Connect using different credentials” (if shown) and finish.
6. Enter your Cloud Storage username and password.

macOS: Connect via Finder

1. Open Finder.
2. Click Go → Connect to Server…
3. Enter the same WebDAV URL, for example:

   https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

4. 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.
