What is WebDAV?

WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a protocol that allows users to manage and share files on a remote server. It extends the HTTP protocol, enabling users to create, change, and move documents on a server, typically a web server or cloud storage service.

In NUM Hub, WebDAV can be used to facilitate file access and management for users through compatible clients without needing to use a web browser.

Using WebDAV Client with NUM Hub Cloud

You can connect to your NUM Hub Cloud storage using any WebDAV-compatible client. This allows you to access and manage your files directly from your desktop or mobile device.

Creating a WebDAV application password

To use a WebDAV client, you need to create an application password in your NUM Hub Nextloud account:

  1. Log in to your NUM Hub Cloud account via the web interface.
  2. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select Settings.
  3. In the left sidebar, navigate to Security.
  4. Scroll down to the App Passwords section.
  5. Enter a name for the application password (e.g., “WebDAV Client”) and click Create new app password.
  6. Copy the generated password and store it securely, as you will need it to configure your WebDAV client.

Please note that you won’t be able to view this password again. However, you can always revoke it and create a new one if needed.

WebDAV URL

To connect your WebDAV client to NUM Hub Cloud, use the following URL format:

https://cloud.dev.numhub.de/remote.php/dav/files/{{username}}/

Replace {{username}} with your username in the NUM Hub.
