Each of your folders stored in the cloud have an address which let's you access them via WebDAV. This address is called the WebDAV URL.
Examples:
How to obtain the WebDAV URL:
The address can be used in any WebDAV client to access the contents of a folder stored in the cloud.
Alternatively you can use the address https://my.powerfolder.com/webdav to mount all your folders in one network drive.
The Windows WebDAV client has known issues to be slow and working unstable. This problem won't get fixed by Microsoft so we advice you to use an alternative WebDAV client like ExpanDrive to mount network drives or CarrotDAV to directly browse in your files. |
cmd.exe
).Use the net use
command to mount your folder to a drive letter of your choice. Example:
net use Z: https://my.powerfolder.com/webdav/ExampleFolder /user:USERNAME PASSWORD /persistent |
Replace USERNAME
and PASSWORD with your login to the cloud.
Replace https://my.powerfolder.com/webdav/ExampleFolder
with the WebDAV URL for the folder you want to mount.

Using WebDAV on Mac OS X
Mac OS X version 10.4 (Tiger) and following support WebDAV shares natively as a type of filesystem. The system can mount WebDAV-enabled server directories to the filesystem using the traditional BSD mounting mechanism.
The Finder presents a WebDAV share as an external disk, allowing users to interact with WebDAV just as they would with any other filesystem.
Linux users can mount WebDAV shares using davfs2 or fusedav which mount them as coda or FUSE filesystems. KDE has native WebDAV support as part of kio_http. This enables Konqueror and every other KDE application to interact directly with WebDAV servers.Nautilus also has WebDAV support built in. The cadaver command-line client, which provides an FTP-like command set, is included in many Linux distributions.
Use the davfs2
command to mount your folder to a drive letter of your choice. Example:
mount.davfs https://my.powerfolder.com/webdav/ExampleFolder -o username=USERNAME |
Replace USERNAME
and PASSWORD with your login to the cloud.
Replace https://my.powerfolder.com/webdav/ExampleFolder
with the WebDAV URL for the folder you want to mount.
