# WebDAV

WebDAV is one of many standard protocols for accessing the Cloud from your desktop or another computer.

ExaVault is proud to support WebDAV fully.

## Connection Information <a href="#webdav-server-details" id="webdav-server-details"></a>

The WebDAV URL for your site is simply the https\:// URL to your ExaVault domain followed by `/webdav`.  Input `https://www.DOMAIN.com/webdav` anywhere you are asked for a URL.

WebDAV is only offered using https\:// and an insecure (unencrypted) version is not offered.

## WebDAV Server Details&#x20;

ExaVault operates a proprietary WebDAV server software that we build and maintain in-house using our full-time employees. Our server is compatible with the WebDAV standards.  We regularly verify our compliance with the WebDAV standards using [Litmus](http://www.webdav.org/neon/litmus/), the official testing tool from the WebDAV organization.
