Mapping drives with Windows for Nextcloud

To map a drive using the Microsoft Windows Explorer:

• Open Windows Explorer on your MS Windows computer.
• Right-click on Computer entry and select Map network drive… from the drop-down menu.
• Choose a local network drive to which you want to map Nextcloud.
• Specify the address to your Nextcloud instance, followed by /remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/. For example:
• https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/
• Click the Finish button.

Windows Explorer maps the network drive, making your Nextcloud instance available

Note

For SSL protected servers, check Reconnect at sign-in to ensure that the mapping is persistent upon subsequent reboots. If you want to connect to the Nextcloud server as a different user, check Connect using different credentials.
