WebDAV, done right.
Mount any WebDAV server as a native drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux. HTTPS-default, OS-native credential storage, remote-path scoping, and the reliability that the OS-native WebDAV clients (notoriously) lack.
— What you get
The universal protocol, mounted properly.
Any WebDAV server.
If it speaks WebDAV, ExpanDrive can mount it. Apache mod_dav. Nginx with the WebDAV module. ownCloud / Nextcloud. iCloud. Enterprise document management systems. Generic Apache + auth.
HTTPS by default.
Connections default to HTTPS. Plaintext HTTP is supported when explicitly requested, but the recommendation (and the default) is HTTPS for production use.
Remote-path scoping.
Mount the full server, or scope the mount to a specific path. Useful for compliance-restricted accounts or for simplifying interaction with a single deep directory.
— Cross-platform
WebDAV on every OS — reliably.
macOS
Apple File Provider extension. WebDAV servers appear in Finder and ~/Library/CloudStorage. Reliable mount, no Finder-mount-drops.
Windows
User-selectable drive letter. No 50 MB file size limit. Signed MSI installer for fleet deployment.
Linux
Native .deb / .rpm packages with signed apt and yum repositories. WebDAV mounts at standard Linux mount points and works with every Linux app.
— vs the OS WebDAV clients
Where native WebDAV falls short.
macOS Finder and Windows Explorer both support WebDAV natively — and both have well-documented problems. ExpanDrive handles WebDAV the way it should be handled.
- Finder WebDAV is famously unreliable. Mount drops, lock-file confusion, weird behavior with large files. ExpanDrive uses its own WebDAV client that maintains the connection reliably.
- Windows WebDAV requires service tweaks. The native Windows WebDAV client has a 50 MB file size limit by default (a registry-editable but unintuitive cap). ExpanDrive has no such limit.
- Linux has no first-class WebDAV mount. davfs2 exists but is unmaintained and brittle. ExpanDrive ships native Linux packages with WebDAV as a primary supported protocol.
