 WebDAVS
 =======
 
-WIP
+WebDAV is a popular protocol to access remote storage using extensions to the HTTP protocol, and it can be secured with TLS/SSL in the same way.
+
+
+We refer to this secured version as WebDAVS, and recent versions of Microsoft Windows, MacOS and Linux support this protocol out of the box, so that it is possible to access remote content as if it was in a local folder on your computer.
+There is no need to install additional software and you can access your files in a secure fashion.
+It should be noted that WebDAVS was built for simple web page publishing, so it is neither particularly efficient for bigger data transfers nor robust against network glitches.
+Thus, we genereally recommend looking at one of the SFTP-based solutions, where `SSHFS with SFTP </sections/sif/networkdrive/sshfs/index>`_ is a popular option if performance and stability is a concern.
+
+Firstly, you need to go to your **Setup** page at SIF and configure a strong password to enable WebDAVS, and click **Save WebDAVS Settings**. Please note that your Login Details including your automatic login username is shown on that page.
+
+
+Once you have set it up, you can find our guide for Windows, MacOS and Linux linked below.

+
+Setup WebDAVS on Linux
+======================
+
+As the nature of Linux is about free choice, we can make no assumptions on what you have available.
+Instead, this page will detail what most modern Linux distributions offer in terms of native file manager.
+Be it Nautilus, Konqueror, Dolphin, Thunar or something else.
+
+.. _sif-networkdrive-ldavssetup:
+
+Linux File Manager
+------------------
+
+In the file manager menu typically under **Go** you select **Open Location**.
+
+Enter the server URL from the **WebDAVS** setup tab (possibly replacing *https* with *davs* in the URL if it complains) and click **Connect**.
+
+In XFCE with the Thunar file manager you need to use the *davs* rather than the *https* prefix in the URL.
+
+
+You will then be prompted for your automatic username and the password you entered on the **WebDAVS** setup tab.
+In this case it specified the atuomatic username *yoursifmail@projectName*.
+
+
+On success you will see the remote content.

+
+Setup WebDAVS on Windows
+========================
+
+.. _sif-networkdrive-wdavssetup:
+
+Setup WebDAVS via Windows File Manager
+--------------------------------------
+
+In Windows it is possible to access WebDAVS services directly from the built-in file manager. With the **Map network drive** or the **Add a network location** button available navigating to the **Computer** location.
+Please note that Windows 7 only provides the latter functionality inside the **Map network drive** wizard while Windows 8 and later exposes it as a dedicated button.
+
+First click **Map network drive** to launch the wizard.
+
+Select which drive letter you want to use (Z: in the example) and enter the SIF server URL from the **WebDAVS** setup tab and click **Finish** to actually connect.
+In most cases the server URL `https://sif-io.erda.dk <https://sif-io.erda.dk>`_ is used.
+
+You will then be prompted for your automatic username and the password you entered on the **WebDAVS** setup tab. The automated username will be *yourmail@projectName*.
+
+Click OK to login and complete the wizard. Your SIF files and folders should appear up in the standard file manager mapped as the chosen drive letter.
+
+As long as you are online you can use the files there just like your local files. When you are done working on the data, you can right-click the mapped drive and select *Disconnect* to close the mapping.
+
+Netxt time you start your computer you can easily access the project data again using the saved mapped drive from the same **Computer** location.
+Importantly you need to always log in first and provide your two-factor token on the SIF web page before you can access the mapped drive.
+
+It is also possible to make the remote content available as a so-called network location by filling in the server URL from above directly in the *Folder* field of the **Add network location** wizard.
