3.1. How to connect to web storage

You can connect to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, Office 365 SharePoint, Yandex.Disk, Windows SMB and any other storage which supports the WebDAV/FTP/SFTP protocol connection in the Documents 7 app.

Note: if you can not find the storage of your choice among available options, please check its manual. If the storage supports WebDAV/FTP/ SFTP/SMB protocols, you can configure the connection according to the manual and access it in Documents with the supported protocol.

                                     

Some cloud storage services and network drives provide the possibility to connect via WebDAV protocol, here are a few examples: 

  • Mail.Ru — you can connect to the cloud storage with WebDAV. This type of connection is available if you have a paid subscription. To connect to the cloud storage, go to Documents Settings > Connections > Add connection > WebDAV Server > add https://webdav.cloud.mail.ru in the URL field and fill in other details.
  • ownCloud — you can connect to the cloud storage with WebDAV; for more information, visit the ownCloud Guide.
  • MagentaCLOUD — you can connect to the cloud storage with WebDAV; for more information, visit the MagentaCLOUD Guide.
