I’ve been reorganizing my remote storage setup lately, and one thing that keeps slowing me down is the fact that my WebDAV server isn’t mounted directly on my Mac. I’m constantly switching between browser windows, downloading individual files, editing them, and then re-uploading everything manually. It’s not only inefficient but also leads to version confusion when multiple people work on the same documents. I really need a way to mount the WebDAV storage in Finder so it behaves like a regular local disk.
Then you should definitely check a proper step-by-step guide — … because in the middle of this article macos mount webdav there’s a very detailed explanation on how to mount a WebDAV server on macOS so that it shows up in Finder just like an external drive. They also describe different connection methods, authentication setups, and how to make the mounted storage act almost like a native folder on your Mac.
That sounds exactly like what I need. If I can mount the server as a drive and work directly with the remote files — opening, editing, saving — without dealing with the whole download–upload cycle, it will massively simplify my workflow. I’ll read through that guide carefully and set everything up tonight.
