Hosting a local WebDAV server

You can also start a locally hosted WebDAV server.

Since everything is end-to-end encrypted and we do not host this for you to maintain and guarantee the encryption, this must be hosted locally yourself.

WebDAV

To enable the local WebDAV server, you should first have a brief look into the following options:

  • Enabled
    This option starts or stops the local WebDAV instance.
    However, you should first take a look at the following options and set them if necessary.
  • HTTP Protocol
    Here you can choose between the unsecured HTTP protocol or the secured HTTPS protocol. If possible, HTTPS should be selected.
  • Hostname
    The hostname determines which local address can be used to access the WebDAV instance.
  • Port
    Here you can specify a specific port that should apply to the WebDAV server.
  • Authentication mode
    Here you can select the authentication mode between Basic and Digest.
  • Username
    Here you can select a username to connect to the local WebDAV server.
  • Password
    Here you can select a password to connect to the local WebDAV server.

Once you have set everything according to your preferences, you can start or stop the
local WebDAV server with the first option.
