Hi,

I have a WEBDAV document in DriveHQ.

If I try to access it, I get prompted with a username and password prompt, similar to as follows:

The URL of the document is something like https://webdav.drivehq.com/DriveHQShare/joseph/Files/884623.txt

We see from the image above that I get prompted with Username and Password, which is expected.

However, supposing that I wanted to only prompt the person accessing the file with a password (as opposed to username + password), is there any way to achive this by editing the URL alone? I would like to prepopulate the username in this authentication prompt by editing the URL alone. Maybe something like

https://JOSEPH@webdav.drivehq.com/DriveHQShare/joseph/Files/884623.txt

??

Thank you and I look forward to your reply,

James Pedersen

Ok guys, let me elaborate on this further.

If I were to go to the following URL:

https://webdav.drivehq.com/DriveHQShare/joseph/Files/884623.txt

I get sent to the following page:

Then if I press OK here, I get sent to this page:

Note that both the username and password fields here are both blank.

What I expect to happen is that when I press OK, I get sent to this page, but that the username field would be prepopulated with "JOSEPH", because I already pressed "OK" to logging in as JOSEPH. This is what I'm expecting would happen.

So can you please fix this?

Thank you,

James Pedersen

It is dependent on the WebDAV client. I don't think it is supported as web browsers are not WebDAV Clients (unless you install some browser extension). We recommend installing DriveHQ WebDAV Drive Mapping Tool. It can make Drive Mapping extremely easy. You can even map multiple drive letters (to different cloud folders).

For sharing folders, you can use DriveHQ FileManager, or log in to DriveHQ.com website directly. FileManager and WebDAV Drive Mapping are very easy to use. 

When you share a folder, you can share it with an email address. This way, you can send a share notification email to the recipient. The recipient can then click the link to access the folder shared with him/her. (He needs to enter a share password or email address). So users can access a shared folder without using WebDAV URL. We have a lot of tutorial videos, please watch some tutorial videos based on your needs.
