Important Considerations

Alternative Methods Recommended

For the best experience, consider using these alternatives instead of WebDAV:

Microsoft's WebDAV implementation varies across Windows versions and Office versions, which can cause inconsistent behavior.

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Connection fails Verify the URL and server availability
Authentication errors Check credentials and user permissions
Slow performance WebDAV can be slower than native interfaces
Files won't open Try the Office Add-in instead
