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

  1. Click Add in the toolbar.
  2. Choose NAS → QNAP.
  3. Select https, enter the server address (DDNS hostname or IP) and the WebDAV port, then your QTS username and password.
  4. Pick the TLS/SSL version if needed, and click Connect.

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.
