WebDAV is one of many standard protocols for accessing the Cloud from your desktop or another computer.
ExaVault is proud to support WebDAV fully.
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.
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 , the official testing tool from the WebDAV organization.
