How to mount FileRise via WebDAV

FileRise includes a built-in WebDAV endpoint (/webdav.php) that honors the same ACLs as the web UI.

Linux (GIO / Nautilus)

gio mount dav://your-username@your-server/webdav.php/

Some distros require gvfs-backends.

macOS (Finder)

1. Finder → Go → Connect to Server
2. Enter:

dav://your-username@your-server/webdav.php/

Windows (File Explorer)

1. File Explorer → This PC → Map Network Drive
2. Folder:

https://your-server/webdav.php/

1. Check "Connect using different credentials"

Windows HTTP note

Windows requires HTTPS by default. To allow HTTP, change the BasicAuthLevel registry setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

Set BasicAuthLevel to 2, then restart the WebClient service.

Notes

• If FileRise is hosted under a subpath (e.g. /files), use:
  • https://your-server/files/webdav.php/
• Folder-only users are scoped to their folder in WebDAV.
• WebDAV uploads can be capped with FR_WEBDAV_MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES.

rclone example

rclone mount \
  :webdav:/uploads \
  --webdav-url=https://your-server/webdav.php \
  --webdav-user=username \
  --webdav-pass=password
