Integrate WebDAV drive under macOS

This web page describes how you can view and work with your Sync & Share data directly in File Explorer. By not having the data locally, you save disk space compared to using the Sync & Share client. However, this may slow down access to the data at times because it is an active connection.

Preliminary Steps

Please create a so-called app password first to establish the connection. You do not need your regular account password for this type of connection.

How to create an app password can be found in the FAQ here in the section "How do I create a so called App Password?".

In the Finder, go to "Go to" -> "Connect to server".

Enter the WebDAV path "https://syncandshare.desy.de/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/" and replace "USERNAME" with your account name before you click "Connect".

In the next window, enter your username and the app password you created for this connection. Activate the connection option "Remember this password in my keychain".

Then you will find your remote-folders as WebDAV mounts in the Finder.
