I got an error saying "The Folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another" when I connect on Windows. When I put the URL in the browser i got this after login "You don't have permission to access this resource". But it work on Hybridmount on qnap when I test it.
Hi, thanks for the explanation. I did everything (except of setting the SSL encryption) but it does not work. Question, do you have to have a public IP for this to work?
Thank you for the amazing explanation! I've completed all the steps with success but I'm having a very persistent and boring extra step that I have to do each time I boot my PC and try to open a file that is inside the folders, for example, open a pdf file. Each time I boot the system or try to open a pdf file, the system requests my credentials that are saved, but I have to press ok every time I want to access the folders or the pdf file. Can you help me with this problem?
@@QNAPUK I've tried your method but unfortunately it didn't work. It keeps asking for the credentials. It's very annoying to have to press ok or insert the User and Password every time I want to open a pdf file or some Microsoft office documents. If you have another solution, please let me know.
Gr8 video I wonder is there any solution to use network folder and then creating a public sharing link via system ? Or do I have to log into qnap file station for it ?
Mine was the same, but found it in Control Panel > Network & File Services > Win/Mac/NFS/WebDAV. However, I still can't get it to work - Windows can't find the webiste when adding the Network Location 🤨
It all goes as per the video until mapping in explorer, even credentials are asked and properly entered, the returns the error message "The folder that you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another". Sharing settings are in place for the admin, and the folder does exist. I have tried with other shared folders, same result. Maybe an important setting is missed in the video.
@@QNAPUK Solution found, not in the video: I had to go to Control Panel --> Shared folders, then Edit Shared Folder Permission, then tick "Special Permission". Now it works as a charm.
Thank you for this! Is there any workaround abot NAT loopback feature? Or if I use my mobile phone as a hotspot it is depended on the carrier services or phone hardware? Thanks in advance @QNAP UK
This is exactly what I've been looking for for so long, but unfortunately something isn't working for me! I'm getting a "There was a problem connecting to the server" error on Mac - would love some help with this! As far as I can tell, I've followed all of your steps - what could be the issue?
Quite often the most common problem is that you're using a HTTPS port that you set in WebDAV settings but only use HTTP in the URL, or vice versa. Are you 100% sure the link you are using to connect is correct with the activated port for WebDAV?
@@QNAPUK No idea what is different - but today I tried again and all seems to be working. Maybe needed time to register the SSL cert? Anyway - thanks for the great vid!
@@QNAPUK Would it be possible to connect me to someone in your organization who will be able to guide me through this process? And who will be able to chose suitable NAS for me.
Hi ! Thanks for the great videos, indeed much clearer than official doc. One question : what would be the recommended way to make a complete duplicate of a NAS to a remote location ? I have an old Mac Pro I have converted into a 12TO RAID in a remote location (800km from home...) for backup, and would like to use it to sync every now and then and be up to date with the NAS that I use on a daily basis at home. So the backups would ideally be incremential / based on file modifications, so as not to take forever each time. Would that be possible to setup ?
Sure, you could perhaps create a backup/sync to your Mac Pro, but you would have to run something on the Mac Pro to make it available to our HBS3 application. We have options for destinations that include Remote RSync Servers, FTP Servers and WebDAV Servers... if you could run something like that on your Mac Pro then we would be able to use it to store Backups/Syncs.
@@QNAPUK Great news ! But I'm a total noob concerning this, could you consider making a step-by-step tutorial on how to setup this, covering the (static?) IP, RSync, FTP, etc... ? I have no idea where to start and what to do for RSync, I looked it up it implied Terminal command lines and I just gave up not wanting to destroy my computer lol. I already use HBS3 for cloud storage (but for much smaller volumes because the prices are too important for over 10Tb) with a SFTP online storage provider. But I'd really like to setup my own direct copy on this distant Mac Pro... please help 🙂
I was also recommended by Qnap support to use a VPN for security considerations, "preferably between each sides router/firewall", but once again I have no idea how...
Thanks Craig! I followed your tutorial step by step, but when I try to connect to my NAS from my Mac throught "Connect to Server" I keep on getting the following message: "There was a problem connecting to the server. This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later". What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to change on my QNAP or on my router? I don't have any issues when I connect to my QNAP on my LAN. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!
@@QNAPUK Thanks for example, if I wanted to access it from home. So I need to add the NAS IP Number and port forwards on the router/wifi box in my home? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Also, my NAS is using a virtual switch. Will that be an issue?
I used the exact same link on MacOS and Window 10. HTTPS works on MacOS but not on Window 10. The error is "Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. Error 0x80070043". - HTTP works, not HTTPS. I have let's encrypt installed.
Please note that certificates only work when accessing the domain you have the certificate for... so if the certificate is for test.myqnapcloud.com but you are trying to access it with the IP address instead, the certificate will not be used.
Refreshing to know your instructions are much clearer than those offered by Qnap helpdesk and Official QNap website tutorials. Followed the procedures and it worked - at first . Now I'm stuck after inputting login name and password to a folder it still won't let me access folder.
Hi Craig. I followed the procedure but this screen comes out to my mac: The server may not exist or be unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, network connection, then try again.

Thanks Craig. I really appreciate these. I had no idea what WebDAV was for - this will be useful to me.

thank you! As long time I had no work that webDAV, now I got it!
On my nas I have two data volumes. In this example you have used datavol1 but how do so direct the cloud service to a second volume?
Hello. I follow your steps but the free certificate doesn't work. i got an error and "try later". Do i have to buy the SSL certificate from qnap?
Thanks man! Perfect explanation. You made my day!

Thank you. I have connected with http since I don’t have a certificate. It works very very very slowly. Can I make something to make it faster?
Does WebDAV work with activated 2FA (Two-factor authentication)?
Thanks for this, when you are talking about the firewall, are you refering to the firewall on the NAS. Or a Firewall on your PC Laptop?

I fell in love with it, but when I typed http instead of https, it accepted, but I enabled ssl
