-====== HOW TO CONFIGURE WebDAV TO YOUR FILES EXPLORER ======
-While we recommend the use of synchronization client to sync files to DCP or sync down from DCP to a local device (especially shared folders by others), however, sometimes due to disk storage limitation, you might not want to sync down certain files or folders to your local device but still want the convenience of direct open, read & edit the shared files on DCP.
-As we all know, only image, videos (certain formats) and PDF files can be opened and viewed directly from DCP via web browser. Word, Excel & Powerpoint files can only be opened and viewed after download to local device.
-Solution to the above is by configuring WebDav to your Windows device Files Explorer. The following are the steps you need to follow.
-. Log in to your DCP and go to your Files page. At the left pane, scroll down and you will see “**Settings**” - click on it.

-. You will see “**WebDav**” and the server address link to your Files, i.e. https://dcp.vo.my/remote.php/dav/files/dcpdemo, point your mouse to the link address, right click your mouse and select “Copy” to copy the link address.
