QNAP¶
Mount a QNAP NAS as a Windows drive over WebDAV.
Before you begin¶
Prepare the following in advance:
- Enable WebDAV in QTS — QNAP's guide.
- For access from outside your network, configure DDNS: QTS → Control Panel → Network & File Services → DDNS.
Connect¶
- Click Add in the toolbar.
- Choose NAS → QNAP.
- Select https, enter the server address (DDNS hostname or IP) and the WebDAV port, then your QTS username and password.
- Pick the TLS/SSL version if needed, and click Connect.
Settings¶
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | https or http | https |
| Address / Port | NAS host and WebDAV port | — |
| Path | Shared folder mounted as the drive root | all shares |
| TLS/SSL | TLS version used for https | auto |
| Read-only | Blocks writes to the mounted drive | off |
Behavior & limits¶
- QTS shared-folder permissions are enforced on the drive.
- The WebDAV port is set in the QTS WebDAV settings; it is separate from the web-UI port.
Troubleshooting¶
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Connection refused | WebDAV not enabled, or wrong port | Enable WebDAV in QTS; confirm its port |
| TLS errors | Certificate or TLS-version mismatch | Match the TLS/SSL setting; install a valid certificate on the NAS |
