Folder opens the available directories on the network drive via WebDAV connection. You can access,
view and download your files directly in your web browser.

Open your web browser, connect to the network drive and click the first icon Folder on the landing
page.
Login either with the guest account or your own if you have set up another user account already.
All available directories and files are displayed in list view directly in your web browser.
The Preview mode will show large icons and in case of images (JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF), it will display a
small preview of the actual image.
Preview only works for images with the following file extension:
*.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.tif
Instead of using the “Folder” link on the home page, you can also go to “Share Management” in the
“Server Settings” menu. Select the “Server” tab and there you can copy either the internal or the
external URL, depending on where your computer is currently located, and paste it directly into
the URLfield of your web browser.
If you would like to upload, delete and manage the files via WebDAV connection, mount the network
drive. Mounting the network drive is done similarly to how you would do it for a SMB connection.
The main difference is that for SMB, both the network drive and the computer have to be on the
same local network, whereas for WebDAV it also works when done remotely (loading and transfer
speed are usually slower when done outside the local network).

For file access on the local network, mounting the drive via SMB is the most convenient solution.
However, if you like to access the network drive in the same way from outside the local network, the
drive has to be mounted via WebDAV. If you are using an FTP application, use the FTP connection
instead.
