WebDAV means "Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning". A WebDAV server can act as a cloud based file server over the HTTPS protocol.
In this video, we will talk about how to setup a WebDAV server on Windows 10 or 11. It includes:
- Install IIS.
- Enable WebDAV and add an authoring rule.
- Enable "Basic Authentication".
- Order or import an SSL certificate.
- Configure HTTPS.
- Create a folder in "wwwroot" and set access rights.
- Map a WebDAV drive and access files.

Microsoft's Internet Information Server supports WebDAV. Let's install IIS first. Make sure to include "WebDAV Publishing" and "Basic Authentication".
Now launch IIS Manager, navigate to the default web site, double click on WebDAV Authoring Rules, then enable WebDAV and add an authoring rule.
Click the Default Web Site, double click Authentication, then enable Basic Authentication and disable other Authentications.
Click the root node of IIS Manager, then double click Server Certificates. For security, you need an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS. You can order an SSL certificate from a certificate vendor or import an existing one. The domain name of your SSL certificate must match with your computer's DNS name.
Right click on the Default Web Site, then select Edit Bindings and add HTTPS support.
The wwwroot folder is read-only. You can change it, or it's better to create a subfolder and change the subfolder's security to Full Access.
Now you can map a WebDAV drive. The WebDAV URL is:

Note the SERVERNAME is your computer's DNS name. You can log in with your Windows username and password. You can access the mapped drive like a local drive. When opening a Microsoft Office file, it will display a Login dialog again. It is because Microsoft Office uses its own WebDAV client bypassing the mapped drive. DriveHQ's WebDAV service does not have this problem.
After the above steps, you still need to make the computer accessible from the Internet, and you need to make sure it is fast, secure and reliable.
It is much easier to use DriveHQ's Cloud File Server. [ Ссылка ] offers the most efficient and reliable WebDAV Drive Mapping service. It has better features and lower cost, and it can be setup instantly.
