What settings should I have if I connect via network location/WebDAV (enterprise only)?

Install a network location in My Network Places/Computer/Finder to access your storage space. The network location is placed as a folder in your computer. You can move and save files as usual, but for some time now, Office programs have not allowed you to edit files via the WebDAV protocol.

We therefore recommend using the Storegate Cloud Folder program in the first instance.
In the instructions below replace username with your username.

For Windows

  1. Open Windows Explorer and select "This computer".
  2. Select "Computer".
  3. Click "Connect network device".
  4. Select your desired drive letter, and type https://webdav1.storegate.com/användarnamn as "Folder".
  5. Check both "Reconnect at login" and "Connect with other credentials".
  6. Click on "Finish"
  7. Enter your username and password.
  8. Click on "OK".

For Mac OS X

  1. In the Finder, select "Go" and then "Connect to server".
  2. Type in https://webdav1.storegate.com/under"Server address".
  3. The next box that comes up, type your Storegate username and password
  4. Click the plus sign to add the connection to "Frequently used servers".
  5. Click Connect. Enter your username and password.

After this, you have to make sure that the connection always starts with the computer:

Open System Preferences and go to Users & Groups and then Startup Items

Press the plus icon and scroll down to the distributed webdav directory (1 in the picture). Then select the webdav directory (2 on the picture) and press add (3 on the picture)

Now the connection will be present when you restart your computer.


For Linux (GNOME)

  1. Start the File browser (Locations/Computer).
  2. If the address line where you can enter a location is not displayed, this is done by selecting Go/Location.
  3. In the address line, type davs://webdav1.storegate.com/username
  4. Confirm with your username and password.
