You can access Microsoft Windows and Mac OS provide the possibility of mounting Research Drive as a network drive on your PC , laptop or mobile device.
However, the native webdav implementation in Windows and Mac OS is not really great. We're not able to support this option, where we will recommend you the use of a WebDAV client natively but this is not a good way to connect to Research Drive and it has many limitations. We do not recommend using either of these implementations and use thereof is not supported in anyway by the Research Drive team. We recommend the use of a WebDAV client if you wish to mount it or the ownCloud Desktop Client.

We strongly do NOT recommend to set a webdav mount from MacOS and Finder to Research Drive. The Mac OS Finder is not aware of how personal and projectfolder quotas are assigned in Research Drive and ownCloud. This causes a known issue of "Not enough disk space" to upload files. The same applies to webdav mount from Windows. |
If you still want to use a webdav mount, use an external webdav client such as CyberDuck or FileZilla, or have a look at the following tools (not tested, not supported, just as a tip)
Here are some WebDav clients that are available. We do not offer direct support for them and you must test them yourself before using them.
- Rclone https://rclone.org
- CyberDuck CyberDuck https://cyberduck.io/
- NetDrive NetDrive http://www.netdrive.net/
- RaiDrive RaiDrive https://www.raidrive.com/
- oDrive oDrive https://www.odrive.com/Rclone https://rclone.org

If local disk space is a bottleneck, we advise you to use the ownCloud Desktop Client in combination with the Virtual File System option. |
