# WebDAV

Use this backend to mount a directory from any WebDAV server, or another Nextcloud server.

You need the following information:

- Folder name: The name of your local mountpoint.
- The URL of the WebDAV or Nextcloud server.
- Username and password for the remote server
- Secure `https://`: We always recommend `https://` for security, though you can leave this unchecked for `http://`.

Optionally, a `Remote Subfolder` can be specified to change the destination directory. The default is to use the whole root.
